January 23, 2012 - Retirement the way it should be
I think I’m finally starting to get retirement right. The gentle rhythm of the day has carried us along with no sense of rush or stress. The sky remained white, the colors subdued. When we went outside earlier, we dodged drips from the bare tree branches. Now it’s early afternoon, and we’ve already accomplished what we set out to do today. AAA had the Florida information we needed. Afterwards, we picked up a few items at Target, including graham crackers. (Elliott must have a secret stash of them somewhere in the house.) Home again for lunch by candlelight – eggs fried in olive oil and dusted with smoked paprika, served alongside deconstructed guacamole. We shared a blood orange, listened to Mozart and Dvorak on the radio. It doesn’t get much better than this.
