It's amazing what all one can do...

...if one is retired (thus not working 50-60 hours per week as per one's former life),
...if one's children are grown, independent, out-of-the-house happy adults
and
...if one is not training eight hours a day in preparation for some sort of crazy run.

For example!

One might make a summer wreath for one's 92-year-old mama who loves to decorate her home for every season but who was unable to find her summer wreath this year!

Paula & Deb - fun with crafts!

Holy smokes! We actually made a wreath!

One might be able to spend a few days cooking and planning for a visit from one's cousin who was going to be in the state for an Architecture Convention!

Dinner at the homestead (Paul, Kendall, John, Marcie, David)

Taz has a new best friend - John feeding him peanut butter cherry dog biscuits. fresh from Glen Arbor, Michigan!

One might tackle long-overdue home improvement projects! (Kendall's shorts used to be tan and his socks used to be white, I swear!)














 

One might be able to relax in the evening and gaze at the super moon with one's true love!













....and, of course, if one is a runner (says I looking in mirror), one might be able to fit in a lovely little run that included the excitement of a giant snake!
