Three women washing clothes in Central Park, NYC 1949 water shortage.

This has been a sort of pushed
summer. WE only make one summer run of about 5 weeks. The rest of that time was here in the Belmont
area.
I helped a little on the small house
for Grandson Josh. Announcements of two more Great grands that will arrive and
discover America while we are traveling and living in Florida. WE are looking forward to settling down in
our Florida home and installing a screened in porch. Looking forward to evenings on that porch
mosquito free.
I have a habit of lying to myself
that I will sit back there, relax and paint.
I do love to paint in oil or acrylic, mostly landscapes. I also lie to
myself and say “I will take a course on writing and painting, one of these
days.” It is sorta to take a course when
you seldom settle more than 3-4 weeks at anyone spot. I am definitely not consistant enough to try
some course over the net.
My respect
goes to Betty and others who can work at home and be productive on a computer
system. I am afraid I would have too many distractions.
I have also thought of assisted
living places (Of course 20years from now) wondering if the will allow me to
work for room and board? Now I could handle that.
I might even think of that next year.
LOL
I saw a note on the net yesterday that
assisted and nursing home stays can reach $100,000 a year? WHAT???
Of course that said it was an average of the entire USA. But half that
would KNOCK A DENT in Sherry’s budget. LOL (Actually much less would!@!)
We all hope we will pass away in our
sleep the day before assisted living is required. LOL
We have some great assisted living places in our area. I have never
priced them, but maybe I should give it a check. I do have a sweet first cousin
who works at one of the best in the area. Imma thinking next year I will give
her a shout and talk about it. JUST FOR
INFORMATION OF COURSE!
WE are heading South as the title says, but I worry. I hear folk talk about things were going great, then they headed South????
Do you lie to yourself? Do you believe it? LOL

That was me that deleted comments. I can't type anymore. I could hear you laughing when you read me finding a place to take all my things. Seeing those ladies washing their clothes makes me very thankful for all the things I have that makes my life easy. We are lucky....
Now that you mention it ...
Ya, I lie to myself all the time about getting out and exercising! :)
In all seriousness, I'm worried what I'll do every day when retirement becomes real. Having followed a work schedule for nearly 50 years, I'm not sure how I'm going to manage my days.
'Must look to y'all as an example. (Minus the A.T., that is!!!)
Thanks for the shout out! It is self disciplining to sit and work at the computer and some days are better than others; some days I literally have to force myself saying "you won't get up again" until I certain time has passed (usually Fridays).
Congrats on the two new great grands arriving within your family! Always joyous news to hear!
Safe travels as you head south. The snow birds are already arriving here; can tell by traffic being a bit more and their favorite restaurants a bit more crowded.
betty
it'll be quite the change to spend the winter in florida. a screened in porch sounds lovely.
Certainly hope your trip south is figurative not mental! Ha ! I have enclosed sunporch here and it has wall to wall windows with screens. I love it! It's nice to open windows and let the air in without bugs coming in. I can open them all or just one or two as needed. I'm thinking that I'll be able to use this room most all year withe exception of winter.
Welcome to the hot south! I wish for a tab bit cooler wather myself.
I don't lie to myself.
Or do I?
I just cant lie to myself without me knowing it.
I'm telling you Jack. You need to start up an "assisted living RV park". Then maybe one day we can be neighbors.

Hey, more babies coming......how sweet it is. Congrats. As for lying to myself, I'm human. Need I say more. I love Lisa's idea of an assisted living RV park. It would be full all the time. I'm still passing hints to Bill about a screened in/windowed, 4-season porch like 'MA's' so far, no go.
love n'hugs from up north. Pumpkins get picked, loaded on the car haulers Sat., then parked by the garden for the customers til the end of Oct. There are a bunch of them and are they ever nice, big bright orange orbs.
