I love summer with it's warm days, sunny blue skies, and sometimes sultry nights. It's a time for cook-outs with family and friends, and just enjoying each day as it comes. If you have air conditioning in your bedroom at least you get a good nights sleep. I have been busy with the grandchildren most of July. Having fun together and just being with each other is the best! We went to the beach just about every day, picked georgeous blueberries and made pancakes, muffins and a pie. Those girls are great cooks! We had a huge family reunion, and not everyone was able to attend. This picture is only half of us. I never knew that our family was so big. Just to think what my mother and father started many years ago!
I have had many opportunities to get together with family and friends, and I throughly enjoy being with them. Being retired is a good thing! I can take time to "smell the roses", and experience the joy in the little things. I venture out each day for a walk, and then a late afternoon bike ride. I've even found a companion to bike ride with, we have found a nice route and stop for an ice cream at the half way point. I meet a lot of people that I use to work with, and it has helped to ease the transistion from being retired to being with them on a regular basis. These are good people!
Here is a picture of some ducks that saw on one of my bike rides.
