An interesting mix

June 30, 2019 Sunday

Hiya Josh! Hope your June is ending well. 

You been behaving? Hope not!

I am enjoying my second week of retirement! Wish you were here to go on adventures and tell me the best parts of being retired and how to avoid the bad parts.

The past 10 days have been an interesting mix of doing absolutely nothing, catching up on chores around home, and celebrating with friends and family. I find it a little odd that people consider retirement a major event to be celebrated, but I am okay with free fancy dinners and brunches!

I made it through my annual physical and a visit with the radiation oncologist. Rolling along and feeling good!

Hope life is treating you well and you will be up north again soon with time to meet a bodacious buxom Boston babe! Mwah!

Several of the Alaskan mushers run tours of their kennels in the summer, including a ride with the dog team! See Julie Johnson’s report on her adventure to Nic Petit’s place. Check out the photo of Nic holding FIVE PUPPIES! and the mountains around Girdwood. Wow!
