Our refrigerator was ready for groceries, so Joe and I went to Maple Grove to Costco and Cubs to shop. A stop at Lowe’s for materials Joe needed to repair a door.
It took the better part of the morning to shop, unload the car
and put our groceries away. After lunch, I treated myself to one show of Season
2 of The Lincoln Lawyer series on Netflix. After I felt aggravated with the
story line, I decided to read a book on Kindle. Whereupon I promptly fell
asleep for an hour and a half.
This is what retirement in Minnesota looks like for me on
the days the grandkids are at their biological mom’s home. Having had a blended
family, Joe and I are accustomed to flexible schedules.
I have been spending time looking at a trip to Bend, Oregon
and then on to Woodland, California for a week in September. It would be a 4,059-mile
round trip. Having just traveled 12,500 miles on our Road Trip the thought of
more travels is not high on my list of ‘fun things to do.’ We are also going to
Ohio on July 21st and returning on July 24th which is
another 1285-mile round trip.
The Bend trip would be to attend a celebration of the
marriage of our friends Debbie and Steve. They were married at the end of May. We
enjoyed a visit with them this past March for four days.
Then we are so close to California! We want to see our Woodland/Sacramento
friends. It looks like we would get to Woodland the late afternoon or evening
of September 18th and leave September 25th. We want to be
back in Rockford by September 29th.
Once we firm up plans, I will be reaching out to friends to
schedule visits.
