I'm Getting Older and Life is Getting Better!

Randy and I have been camping for almost a week. I have come home tonight to get some things done and then I will join him again. We are both so relaxed when we are in the mountains. My answer to religion is there: in God's Country. The campground is only 1/2 hour away. It's so convenient. Kathy and John help us with the cats. We bring them up camping on weekends. We will be going to Oregon again in August to visit Jennifer and Rob at a home they rented in Bend. We are excited about this as well.

The cats are a pain and I do wish Randy would consider finding homes for most of them. But he worries that they will not be treated right. Life is so much less stressful now than when I had to work and raise kids. I did enjoy camping then as well and being with my kids but it was not like it is now. My life feels like it has just begun! We care for each other more each day and maybe if things go as planned there may be a wedding in our future but not right away. I feel younger today than I have for some time. Things would have probably been this way had Alex lived and I had retired but we never got to find out.

Young people do not have the corner on love and emotion! I hope they can be as happy as I am now when they are my age and have retired. I may be fat and wrinkled with white hair but I still have some love and spunk left in me.
