Biography 2001

I have been retired for nine years now. It"s a great life. You lose count of what day of the week it is and you forget what you had planned for today, but you really don"t care. It is great to be grandparents to the most wonderful grandkids in the world. At this time in life I know that whoever named them "grandkids" did a really super job. It is nice to look back down the road of life and rejoice for all the Gracious Blessings that God has given to us. Especially for our Families, our Friends, and our Health.
