Well, it's been a while since the last entry, about 6 years. Just like everyone else, there have been some changes in our life. Yesterday was our 42nd anniversary. We celebrated by using a gift card to go out to the Olive Garden for dinner. A disappointing meal, but we really didn't have any great expectations.
A big change in our daily life is that I have retired. The Countess is still working full time. I watch her leave each day and wait patiently for the day when she too can say "I am retired". We are constantly talking and planning the future as we slowly move toward that day.
My new passion is home brewing. Started about 3 years ago and have over 60 batches brewed. The last two weeks have been busy getting brews ready for several events next month. Right now I have 15 gallons in different stages of fermentation and three kegs in the fridge in different stages of empty. It has been a lot of fun and very interesting. The science, chemistry, math and end results are all appealing to me. The Countess has even liked some of the beers.
We lost our little Murphy a few years ago but we have two greyhounds now that you can't help but love. Molly is still the boss. They pretty much look to her for everything, how to act, when to bark, pretty much everything. This makes it a bit difficult to keep them in line sometimes because she has taught them some bad habits.
The boys are pretty much all on their own. JM and JD are married, JF is doing his own thing up in WA. JP is here, having trouble getting on his own after graduating with a physics degree from Chico last year.
It's late and I am tired so that's enough for today. Will continue the update later. Hopefully it won't be another 6 years till the next post.
