How We Do Retirement

  Retired Life. Sunday. The alarm went off early so we could make it to church on time. It was still dark out this week. Sad. And there were audible groans. But, we looked at the Jesus Picture below, remembered why church makes us happy (and safe), and got up out of bed and went. After church, I took a nap.

No where near 20 hours. And he was so, so tired. (See the picture below.) And he didn't really even care much about the Jesus picture. sigh.......... Sacrament Meeting. Men's Meeting. I was hoping one of them would walk up and say "hey, here's your phone, we found it on the side of the trail..." But nope. No such luck. Back home, we ate lunch, took the Sacrament in to Hanna's mom, then took a huge long nap. (All three of us. Me, Hanna, Frivvy.) In the evening, I BBQed up some pork chops.
