Best Laid Plans

Without meaning to, I seemed to have skipped posting to my blogs and sending out my newsletter for two whole months! You may have been wondering what has happened to me. Ah, life happened.

The past two months have been the happy and exciting culmination of our (my husband and I) ten year plan to downsize, semi-retire and travel more. Yes, we had a ten year plan and actually have managed to achieve it. My husband retired from his corporate job. We'll both be working part-time but on our schedules. We sold our home and moved to a much smaller house, about half the size of the former one. This has resulted in lots of culling of possessions, mostly easy but with a few hard decisions. We are still in the throes of unpacking and settling in.

We are planning much more travel and just generally a slower lifestyle. We're going to San Diego this month and then to North Carolina and Georgia in October. Our dreams continue to come true.
