It is almost 6 months since we arrived in Florida. It does not seem possible. The days continue to fly by. The sad part is seeing our neighbors leaving, we have had so many days of sharing fun time. We have shared grilling out, cocktail hours, coffee and cake, and had an A&B building breakfast. All of which we talk about doing more of next year! The positive of condo life is seeing neighbors and asking what is on their agenda, or what we can add to it for later today or tomorrow! But we have good friends back home that we will be able to share time with soon, and we look forward to that. Marie is coming to Wisconsin late in May, so we need to be home by then! And we have plans to be in Hayward to end May and start June. So our plans are starting to form for the ride home. We plan to spend some time sightseeing on the way home, so at least a week on the road. We will put more plans together over the next few weeks.
We want a warm June Oshkosh. Will I have to wear socks and shoes? Charles just sent a picture of it snowing in Switzerland, that is the closest I want to come to snow. We continue to feel blessed for the life we live, and pray that it continues. I shared my retirement party with Steve who is now going through radiation treatments. So as we look forward to the end of his treatments and spending time together we know it could have been any of us who was in his place. So each day remains special. Enjoy life until we see you, then let’s party.
more pool time
breakfast
Neighbors !
So glad you are enjoying retirement. So sorry about your friend! You are right it could be any one of us and we must enjoy each day as a gift from God! Safe travels home! Call us when you are ready to go to Old Bavarian! Otherwise will see you at the wedding we hope!
As new comers, Judy and I were honoured to be part of all of the get togethers, celebrations and good times that was had during our stay. (Thanks to all who made us part of that). We can barely wait for our return next winter, the good Lord willing.
Anyhow, wishing you and Chris a safe trip home and say hi to Marie for us and if your plans take you this way, look us up.
Bye for now
Don’t hurry home. Temp 39 and raining. I am sure Haywood will not be better.
Hello our loved ones,
Cute Pictures! Congratulation. We had even snow here in Altdorf the last few days and it is getting
really cold in Switzerland.
Take care
Glad it was a great winter for you. The people in your Fla condo are lucky to have you as neighbors. Look forward to seeing you in Wisconsin. Trees are blooming and signs of spring everywhere.
We go home in two weeks. IS NOT RETIREMENT GREAT. YES IT IS. Looking for some golf in Door and more PARTY… See ya. Al & Karen. Ribs at our house in June.
RANDY, COULD YOU PLEASE ASK Mary Jane TO TAKE ME OFF HER LIST. I DON’T PLAY GAMES AND SHE EMAILS ME AT LEAST TWICE A DAY TO PLAY MULTIPLE GAMES WITH HER. I have no time for this and I did email her , I thought, about a week ago to stop, but it still continues. Help. Please. Thanks.
Hallo dear Randy and Chris,
Thanks for your interesting mail. It is very nice to hear about your way of living.
We had a very nice winter, unfortunatly (for us) with just little snow. But we have done quiet some skiing and hiking in the snow. The last two days we spent in Saas Fee, where we enjoyed beautiful weather and skiing slopes. As today our daughter Andrea left for Florida with her Family, Walter and I are taking off on bikes towards Venice. Unfortunately down in Italy there is rainy weather right now, but we hope it is going to change to the good side. Otherwise we would have to change our plans.
When you see Marie, please forward our greeting to her too. We hope to see you soon again in Switzerland!
Love Yolanda, Walter and family
