If you're not a hockey fan, this will bore you.. Sorry.. BUT, to hockey fans, it's the BEST time of year!! Our Pittsburgh Penguins have the two best players in hockey.. Sidney Crosby and Gino Malkin.. They both were hurt in january, probably out for the rest of the year!! so hope was lost for the season.. But no!! those guys scrapped their way thru the season and ended up with the second best record in Penguin history!! Yea!! So, playoffs start tonight and the intensity that develops is amazing... Wish us luck!!
Our Ireland friends got back Saturday and are now on the road to Seattle.. Remember, his brother died while he was in Ireland.. Bills the executor of the will and has no idea how complicated it may be.. Three ex-wives and 4 kids can't be simple...
Was just thinking how funny life is.. When I started this blog 3 months ago, I thought.. at our age, what can I possibly talk about?? Life still is pretty full.. nice!!
My nephew ( baby of that generation and my 67 year old brothers son!!) is graduating from Belmont College in Nashville.. And, I find it so interesting, he's getting a degree in Sound Engineering.. When you see pictures of concerts, recording studios, etc... he runs that big board that controls and mixes the music.. He had a summer internship last summer in New York with Sirus Radio for the Howard Stern Show.. Not a fan of him, but what an experience for Patrick!! Anyway, he left Nashville this morning with Kenny Chesney on his tour bus to work with him on his concert in Texas!!.. Can you imagine that experience for a college kid!! Kenny told him if it went ok, he'd help with the rest of his 15 concert tour!! and if that worked out, he'd offer him a permanent position after he graduated!! Having lots of college grads among my brother and I (7), what a relief to think your kid may have a job when he graduates!! Student loans are such a burden..
Last summer, we looked very seriously at downsizing.. thought of Florida, looked around down there and decided no.. no family there, etc.. then looked around this area and found nothing affordable.. how can we afford a mortgage payment on Social Security?? So, last resort, we stayed here.. got a reverse mortgage and stopped looking.. You know that old saying.. you find what you're looking for after you stop looking!! What we found is perfect for us.. perfect location, perfect size, and we would be able to take out another reverse mortgage!! So, starting proceedings to get this place on the market!! After all, it does have a new furnace!! Will give more details later..
