It has been a very long time since I have written anything on this blog site and am not even sure if anyone reads this anymore. So, I am posting this to get kick stated again. I have spent the last year with Marsha building our retirement house near Grand Lake in Grove, Ok. It is a cozy 2 bedroom house with a very small yard and even smaller lake view. We have hopes of selling our Skiatook house before retirement. We call this the Grove house. This week I hope to meet with the concrete man about pouring the driveway. This summer will be more fun than last summer because the house is now liveable. We started the house about this time last year when the red bud trees were in bloom. We had the carpet installed when there was 18" of snow on the ground. We are both in agreement now that this will be our last house project as the bones and muscles don't work like they used to. But atlast the hard work is over and now we can sit on the back porch in a relaxing rocking chair sipping on a fresh brewed cup of coffee listening to the birds singing along with the chime of the ringing of the ear for you ole codgers that know what I mean.
