The World Outside My Window

My office window looks out the front of the house and I look out at what’s going on during the day. Doing this is what has made me yearn for retirement as I watch my neighbors, Ed and his wife, who I forget her name, sorry guys.

Now that spring has arrived, most days Ed spends piddling around in his yard. Picking up any trash blown in from the road, weeding, mowing, etc. Sometimes he works on his car. When he wants to take a break, he sits on his front porch swing and watches the traffic go by. He might be snoozing, can’t tell from here.

All day he and his wife are coming and going and just busy as bees. They have lots of visitors and lots to do.

Whenever they are out in the yard about 90% of the minimal traffic on our road beeps and waves at them.

And now, Ed is putting his American flags on his fence posts to celebrate the upcoming Memorial Day holiday.

So thank you Ed and his wife, for showing me what Steve and I are working so hard for – a relaxing fulfilling retirement. A retirement filled with spending days together, doing whatever needs doing, going where needs going and just enjoying life.
