Life Happens

My intent to journal life in retirement got sidetracked by a too busy schedule actually closing Chiripa; Artisan Crafts of the Americas. Our customers overwhelmed us. It was both delightful and exhausting.

Then, at the end of January my mother fell. Her concussion, hospitalization, rehab in a care center and then home again took much of my time and energy. The "luxury" of retirement seemed quite ironic.

February and most of March progressed with major house and computer reorganization and numerous trips to Goodwill and various recycling centers. The goal is finding space to create at home. This is a work in progress. 

We managed a March weekend trip to The Lonely Pines, our rustic cabin in northern Wisconsin. Lots of snow; too soft and deep for our usual trail-breaking into the nearby woods. But, we found great skiing on groomed trails at Razorback Ridges and the nearby Moccasin Lake trails. 

Tennis and Spanish continue. Stay tuned for more on those subjects in the future.
