Rehearsal for Retirement

 It may come to a surprise to some of you that know me I am getting close to my retirement. In one or two years I probably will make that decision. However, I am currently "rehearsing" for retirement in our vacation home in Florida. We will be spending a good portion of June in our house/home. We have been here since Thursday after spending some time with our daughter and dropping our oldest back at his apartment. 

So far we have been looking for furniture, searching for a church, enjoying local cuisine and relaxing before we take a trip to WDW for Father's Day weekend. Of course that will be my summer hi lite but I must admit relaxing in Florida with no distractions is pretty nice. Yesterday we went to a park with a couple walking trails in which I got in my steps as if I was on a normal day at WDW over 20,000 steps later I can say I was pooped. However, I spotted wild life such as deer, wild turkeys, and birds of all kind. Plus the scenery was beautiful. The only downfall was the HEAT, I returned to the car sopping wet with perspiration but glad for the opportunity with the idea of coming back. 

In closing I must say if this is anyway near how my retirement can be spent then I am all in. I do plan on doing some fishing sometime before I head back to NC. Thanks for reading next time will be a recap of our trip to Pop Century Resort at WDW!

Trip Review

 As I promised in my last post today would be about the recent trip the family took to Walt Disney World. I can truly say it was unlike any other trip to WDW I have ever took.  First off it only was the three of us (Jule, Wyatt and myself) while my daughter took care of the animals and my other son was staying at his apartment. We stayed at a new resort for us, Pop Century. For the three of us it was perfect, except that Wyatt fell out of the bed and cut his eye. I liked the access to the Skyliner which we took to EPCOT on our second day of the trip. We hit all four parks plus Disney Springs on our first night and last day. We ate at Paradiso 37, had dessert at the Salt and Straw, we also ate at The Plaza, Sleepy Hollow and the Boathouse. As for attractions we experienced the new Remy's ride along with Soarin' , Spaceship Earth, and Living With the Land at EPCOT. We also listened to the Voices of America and watched Harmonious. At the Magic Kingdom we hit Splash Mountain, Haunt

Week Five

 January 29, 2022 I didn't get my goal done for this week but I promise I will get back to recording about Disney before I take our next trip to Walt Disney World which I booked this past week. I won't bore you with details quite yet but we are staying at a new to us resort.  Jule celebrated another birthday this past Wednesday (the day I booked the trip, which was her gift from me). She is truthfully my best friend! I was reminded about one of my favorite verses which I used to refer to on my board at school Proverbs 1:7 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, BUT fools despise wisdom and instruction...  I sit here watching my son waking up from a nap and I am reminded of that love the Father has for us. He has unconditional love for us, He has given us so much more than we can ever pay back and all He asks from us is to love Him back.

Week Three Snow

 January 15, 2022 As I write this we in North Carolina are expecting a major winter system to move in and dump HOPEFULLY snow and very little ice. If it is just snow we should be fine but if ice is involved we are looking at possible power outages. I hate to say this but I might be to blame for this. How you may ask well in my daily conversation with the  Creator on Monday I was talking with Him as to IF there was going to be no snow maybe our weather could warm up a bit (I usually have my conversations with Him on the bus, don't worry I pray with my eyes open...) it was COLD this particular morning. Later that afternoon I was checking my weather app and low and behold the SNOW signage popped up for this weekend about a 75% chance. Throughout the week the percentages never went below that, in fact, they increased to where the likelihood of a snow/ice event was hovering near 100%.  I know that the snow issue seems silly to those who deal with it on a more frequent basis but we are d
