Blogging is falling behind due to the family events of this week.After my father had only been retired for about two years and was spending several months in Avon Park, Florida, about two hours to our southeast, I called him one day to see when would be a good time to come for a visit. He began reciting a rather long list of plans that he and Mom had coming up over the next couple of weeks when all of a sudden he stopped mid-sentence and said, “What am I saying, just tell us when you are coming and we will adjust our schedule!”When I inquired of him on our visit how he had gotten so busy he said, “You know, Rog, I don’t know how I ever found time to squeeze in a fifty-hour work-week!”Now quasi-retired myself, I fully understand!A week goes by seemingly in the span of a couple of days and before you know it, it is time for another one to begin!In my case it is ‘squeezing’ in the fifty hours of looking for a job, but there is really not that much difference except in the ‘credit’ column of my bank statements!I am such a blessed and rich man, given the proximity of my son and his family and the opportunities we are blessed to spend together to watch them mature into a unit.I am swelled within at the reverie.If I could but have the rest of my extended family in the neighborhood, life would be perfect!!
