opening statement

this is our first try at a blog. Laurie and i decided to make a blog so we could share with others, whom we know are in the thousands, a little bit about our life adventures. We have recently finished as managers in a seniors retirement home. Although this was a very fulfilling position it came to a point where it totally consumed our lives (we lived on sight and basically worked 24/7 for three years) and we felt it necessary to recapture our own life and to start doing again the things we enjoyed most. Having said all that, we recently left this position and have taken up
"semi-retirement". This too has become an adventure. After working for so many years its strange to wake up in the morning wondering what one should do. Of course this is new, and kinda like being on a vacation, so we again felt we could share some of our adventures with anyone who happens upon this blog. Our kids, two cats(dawg and harry) and a dog(daisy) are curious to have us home with them now all day. They are rather cool animals, kinda quirky and give us lots of joy. Hence, they will play a part in this blog. If you happen upon our blog, please feel free to post a comment. We look forward to sharing our adventures, misques and anything else that happens. Cheers :)
