Why did I retire? Because I could!

Schwinn Conversion 12-speed Bicycle

I've been wanting to get back into biking, I haven't been for years.  I'm right next to Fish Creek Park, which I hope will be flood-free soon.  There is quite a bit of flood damage there, and it may not be open yet.


Ain't she a beauty :)

I love it when someone else cooks.

How to brighten up a deck

All this rain is really bringing out the colours




Got my bedding plants in
and filled several pots

Deck will be repainted as soon as it's dry enough

Hopefully they'll fill in more with TLC
 
filled in the gaps in my bed of tiger lillies

Gov't of AB Alumni

Had a wonderful time at Yang Tze chinese buffet restaurant in Deerfoot Mall with Brenda, Ivy, Grethel, Doreen, and Frances.  Three hours later, we had a general idea of what each of us have done since retirement.  I have dubbed this group "The Government of Alberta Alumni" as we all worked together in the former AMHC and are now retired. We hope to make this a regular meeting. Wish I had taken my camera. Next time.

This is my Mom.
|Everybody says how beaufitul she is.

When people tell me I look like her, I say "Thank You" and
hope I age as gracefully as she has.  Will this be me at 80?
