No January blues

I thought I might get the January blues but so far nothing. Retirement is agreeing with me. I quite like it. There are stil some things to get used to, like it doesn't matter what time it is, and you can get up whenever you like.

I have been doing some sorting out of rooms so that feels quite good.

Geoff has been planning a major trip for us. He suddenly said one day that he wants to go to Greece so got on line to see what he could find. So far he has us booked to London with Icelandair, we will stop in Reykjavik for a few days on the way, then visit Anne and Del for a week. That's as far as we have got to Greece so far. I am leaving it up to him to sort out the rest. We will be gone for six weeks.

We are also. seriously considering a trip to Israel in late October. It is a tour hosted by our minister and another pastor.

And of course we will be cruising to Alaska.

We had a lot of excitement here on Sunday night. I woke up at about 3:30 a.m to a crackling and popping sound. Looked out the window and it seemed as if the garage was on fire. I leaped into action and called Geoff to go check it out. It was our neighbour's garage down the alley. Geoff called the fire department but they had already been called. We went out and watched. There was nobody else there until the fire truck arrived, it was strange just watching it burn. The garage burned right down.

We were supposed to go to the city this weekend to see David Francey but he got sick so the concert is postponed. But James Kelleghan will be at Grandview Stage this week so we are looking forward to that.
