Arrived in Key West

We arrived in Key West on Saturday, 10 January 2009. The trip has been fun and the weather is great. Adjustment to retirement is strange but a wonderful experience. Connie is my best helper for me making the change. We're thoroughly enjoying each others company, what a blessing this venture is to both of us. Watching the sunset over the ocean the first night here sent a new meaning to togetherness through me.

We've been awakened by the Key West roosters each morning around 4:30 am, but who cares, we just laugh, roll over and go back to sleep. Getting up with nothing on my plate is strange but I'm getting accustomed to it and think it will be a style I'll cherish.

Yesterday was a trip up the keys to "Big Pine Key" and we stopped at "No Name Pub". Fresh grouper for lunch with my sweetie, a warm drive up the keys in shorts and t-shirt, 89 degrees the 12th of January - nothing's wrong with this picture! I feel like a kid in a candy store! This life gives new meaning to being in love forever.
