oh sweet retirement!!

Hey all you FF:

What a life!  I get up every morning around seven, walk a mile and a half to the beautiful shores of Lake Michigan and sit and watch seagulls (no people out there that early) and have some quiet God time!  From there I usually walk the riverwalk then back home about 8:30.  Have a leisurely breakfast on the deck where I watch the boats heading up and down the river.  Usually read for awhile then plan the rest of the day.  I found a few places to volunteer or hang around here and sew.  Usually Murt and I have a game of some kind every evening or if not, watch a movie (library has a good selection to check out FREE)  Also two night a week there are concerts on the beach.......then of course, the beautiful sunsets over the lake!

I will be here until September 9, then I head back to Hillsdale for the rest of September.  A few things called me...i.e. the women's cimmisioners sale at the college needs some help, another fine Hillsdale
County Fair, and travel companion Mary Houchen and I have a little journey.  Don't know where.............she is planning the surprise.

If any of you have time, call me in September and we can have coffee, lunch, dinner, call me.
Farewell for now....................Gypsy Joyc
