My blessing, today my daughter was flown in rom Frisco and will drive with me back to the West Coast
Some people count their blessings based on material wealth. I guess there is nothing wrong with that really.For me, I count my blessings with my health (very active at 67, still do 100 push up a day), but most especially the love of my children, and my friends.
I have decided to go back and live permanently in California as I am now fully retired.
I will be very close to all my children and grandchildren and live very modestly and simply. Of course, I still hope to travel the world as I am accustomed to and just smell the roses and enjoy nature which I love very much.
My youngest daughter offered to drive with me and I am more than thrilled with this adventure.
We are leaving today, it takes at least two days before we get back home. I will not be able to baby sit this blog but thanks all for your read and or comment if any.

I live with hurricanes here in FL but am terrified of CA having an earthquake. Go figure.
Well I visit your state every now and then. I have relatives who live in Miami. I normally catch up the cruise there for the Caribbean. It is very humid. Like Hawaii which I couldn't care much. I get island fever whenever I go there.
Anyways, thanks for the information about the community garden. I read that from your blog. I checked it right away here in Northern Cali and it is everywhere. Marin Country has a huge one, too.
Come visit California and we'll hook up. I will be back on the 11th.
I just left Florida.

I can meet you up for lunch. I used to visit relatives there. It's about 5 hours from San Francisco if traffic is light.
Retirement has it reward.

So tranquil.
Made it to Reno and I'm a little sick because of the weather. 55 in the Bay Area. Triple digits in your place and Reno isn't bad at 80 but I'm tired of this driving now.
Will chat with you soon.
Thanks Oldie. I do really need a break. I will not go anywhere for a month. Just be here on the blogs, yay...

Stayed at Marriott. Beautiful place.
At the Winstar Hotel and Casino in Thackerville Oklahoma
The biggest casino in the world. I can't believe my eyes. I've been to most casinos in the world and this one in the middle of nowhere is the biggest? But no Pai GAO poker.
The hotel is very similar to Hote Intercontinental. Very nice and the pool, huge.
At the biggest casino in the world. Winstar.
Glad you are having a great time my friend!
