Content

      I don't have any great words of wisdom today. Just feeling very content with my current situation. I love being at home. Dave and I are together nearly 24/7 and we have adapted quite well. He doesn't shop with me, crochet, lunch with the ladies, etc. And I don't golf with him, bike, or have supper with the guys. We do walk, hike, go together to fly his sailplane, entertain guests, explore San Diego, etc. I guess we will do okay when he retires because this is pretty close to it! We have been out here for nearly 10 months now and it does feel like home in many ways. We have wonderful friends and plenty of social events to keep us busy. We have grown closer in many ways because we are away from children and family. I mean really we have to get along because we are together so much!!! I feel so fortunate to have this time together and to live in such a great place. Don't get me wrong…. I love Wisconsin and all our peeps there but now we have a whole new world out here.
    Well here I am coming back to finish my post a day later…. We had date night tonight. First we flew Dave's plane. Actually He flew his plane while I lounged and read a book. Then off to the beach in Carlsbad to watch the sunset. After dining outdoors ( we did need our sweatshirts) on some pizza we shopped at Lowes. Yes we know how to party! We plan to attack the "mountain" again tomorrow morning. We hiked Monserate on Wed up and partway down then up again. Spent over 2 hours hiking! Maybe this time I can do it without so much whining :)
We have been entertaining outside a lot lately.

The plane, the plane!

The pilot and his plane




And the sun sets on another beautiful day…..

  2. Out of context I know, but this post makes me think of that verse, 'whatsoever "state" I am, therewith to be content'. :-)
