Time sure does pass quickly. To think It's taken me this long to post another blog. Guess I'm not very dedicated.
It was a fun summer. Loved having the kids here. It gives them a chance to be together for a few days. Gives the parents a chance to get to know each other again. And gives me the gramma to know the kids better too. What fun we had!!
After a couple of weeks, we've rested up, slept till noon and made it down to the casino for the prime rib buffet and gamblin complements of the Tropicana Casino. Woo Hoo!!! Nah, didn't win any money. But didn't spend any either. We had comps for the food and free play money on our cards.
I'm spending the days inside the airconditioned house. Doing my embroidery projects and Larry is out on the porch shootin rabbins. Ho Hum. To each their own huh?
I did have to get up a little early this morning. A customer had a virus problem on her computer and I said I'ld be there by 10am. And so I was. Got most of it fixed up.
I'll try to be better so that I can get on with this Re Defining Retirement. Even in this economy.
Here is my part: Bought a whole chicken at Wallmart for $2.50 each. I separated the leg, thigh and wing for one dinner. Then I proceeded to boil the remaining chicken and deboned it for green enchilada dinner. And they say waste not want not, I made a chicken chowder with the water used for boiling. That was yesterday. Today we had left over enchiladas. Half the soup is in the frige AND tomorrow we have the remaining chicken parts fried with Rachel Rays recipe using yogurt.
Whew. That is totally enough for today. See ya all another day.

Can you believe how time has passed. Been so busy, it would take me days to tell you what I've been up to. Most of all................still enjoying Retired in Arizona. Since December I have been up to Utah and to California 3 times. My latest trip to California, Boni built me a new computer. I had a few things to resolve so I took it home with me. Here you can see the new generation checking out my new computer.
Getting ready for my next trip next week. Going to spend a week with mom and do some serious machine embroidery. She signed us up for two classes and I'm making a list of questions and things I want to learn while I'm there.
Computer classes at the College are going great!! We are talking about added a new class. The transition from XP to Vista. The college is still using XP and I let them know that the beta version for the new windows operating system just came out at the end of last year. I've come to like Vista. Hmmm.
Yesterday was our wedding anniversary. Whew what a day. We decided to do exactly whatever we wanted. Guess what that was?? We went to breakfast at the local cafe. Then into Kingman to my favorite thrift store where I found a few treasures. Then it was back home to the swap meet. Didn't find anything of value. Then..............we had two complimentary dinners at the Riverside Casino, so off we went. We had our token $20 dollars. That is $10 a piece and was about 7pm by that time. Well, it doesn't always happen. but we stayed till midnight and came home with $190 dollars in our pockets.
So today is a nothing day. A little sewing, pc work and movie watching. Some friends coming for a night of pool playing and good conversation.
The State of the Union has kept us in good conversation, Larry and I. We think that we have too much common sense sometimes. The stimulous package seems to be quite a bit of spending for the government when they are telling the public that we are spending beyond our means. Hmm. Guess they can spend beyond their means. I apologize to our grandkids if they have to take care of this mess. How many working adults do we have in this great nation? How much was the stimulous package? Almost a TRILLION? Hmmm. What's wrong with this picture. I better hush now. Been listening to talk radio "savage". ... later.............
