Life Gets In The Way

Yes, I'm back, but I can promise you it won't be on a daily basis as it was in the past.  Life has gotten in the way of my daily posts and I must say I am very happy about that.

In the last couple of months my dance card has been full.  That is saying something for an aging senior citizen.  Then again, maybe not.  The Baby Boomers, of which I am happy to be one, have set the standard of life for their senior years a lot higher than our grandparents.  When my grandfather retired from farming he sat down in his comfortable recliner next to my grandmother in front of the boob tube and slowly died.  And I mean S-L-O-W-L-Y!  He died at the age of 92 and hadn't done anything significant for thirty years.

Thankfully, that is not my style.  So, what have I been doing?  Not as much as I would like but I have been significantly busy.

I have been to the Smokies to go hiking, ziplining and whitewater rafting.  I have been working evenings at the Muny as a bartender.  I have organized and hosted a First Bank Family Reunion.  Wrecked my little truck (oops).  Visited friends and family and gone to several parties.  Taken art journaling classes at The Scrapbook Factory.  And we mustn't forget spent as much time as possible with my grandchildren.

For the near future I plan to take a trip on Amtrack to Chicago sightseeing for a week, fly to Hawaii with friends and family for a couple of weeks, go hot air ballooning, party in Eureka Springs Arkansas, Paducah, Kentucky and any place else I can get an invitation to.

So I better get off this computer and get busy.  I have a life to live!
