Default On my way home

I'm so excited! I'm sitting at the gate in Chicago waiting to board my flight. I haven't been there since we bought our home Labor Day weekend.
I feel like a kid on Christmas morning!

Village of Charlotte here I come!

I'm taking this up as my motto for retirement:
As my son used to say, "Ain't this fun?"

It has been 4 days since you left Chicago. Nothing has changed. The state of Illinois is still broke. Jay Cutler will not be playing tomorrow. Peanut Tillman is out for the season unless the Bears make the playoffs. So enjoy every minute of your time in The Villages.

Thanks for all the 'welcomes.'

Love being here, but I sure wish it would stop raining! The good news is getting a ton of stuff done since its so wet out. . Everything unpacked and put away. Doing the final little touches. I'm heading back north Tuesday. Sure hope we have 1 nice day before I leave. If not ill be back Christmas night. Then I'm retired and here until I decide to go back. I know I'll see the sun then!
