Hi, today is June 26 and I'm contemplating just what I have accomplished for the first half of this year, not much. I haven't lost weight , made much headway in reorganizing my house or my finances. However, I did get an estimate for my deck railing replacement and just yesterday I test drove two cars. You don't get much for the money nowadays. The small cars feel like tin cans with cheap interiors. Even though my car is thirteen years old I think it is better than the ones I looked at yesterday{Hundai}.

I haven't made an entry in quite awhile. Now that I've logged on again I find that changes have been made in the  setup-chnages never ending. What has been happening with me? Well, I've made the decision to retire this year since I am 66 and I want to enjoy life while I am still in reasonably good health plus in my right mind. Healthwise I take after my mother's side of the family. There is a lot of high blood pressure and heart disease. Many people in my mother's family died in their fifties. My father's family are longer lived but they developed dementia in their eighties. I hope neither happens to me.
   
My main priority is fixing up my house. There are some repairs which need to be done, such as replacing my upstairs deck railing. I also need to get some trees trimmed or cut down. New furniture is also on the agenda.But the biggest item is getting my son Brian on his feet and out of my house.
