Not every day in retirement is an adventure, but the simple days are OK too. This morning Katie and I woke up to another beautiful October day. Blue sky and the moon just going down.

We wandered a bit around the yard. She likes to check in with her tomato patch, just in case a spare cherry tomato falls off the vine don’t you know.

And of course it did.

Then a wander under the white pines at the back of our yard. Such a pretty place that we hardly ever visit, I don’t know why.

But she said that really wasn’t enough of a walk, so she arranged to go to the park with her friend Deuce.

The mamas felt like a walk in the woods too, so it all worked out.

We even tried to walk on the beach but the sun was getting too hot, and besides, they have this sign there.

Which we ignored.

No, not every day has to be an adventure, but when you’re retired adventure can turn up any day!
