What I Wish I Knew Before I Retired
Thank you to all who sent in suggestions of their favourite meatless dishes. During the past week, I have given a few of them a try. Here are the ones that I have attempted so far. Anabel's Thai Style Coconut Curry Anabel said: "Use lots of vegetables, marinated tofu, coconut milk seasoned with chili, lime, …
Sunday (16th) - Combined Birthday Bash Last year (September 19), Richard turned 70. We celebrated with a big, end-of-summer BBQ with friends and family who lived nearby. It was warm and sunny, allowing us to have the full party outdoors. This October, I turn 60. I will be away on Home Exchange on the big …

Here I am packing for another trip. In the past, this would not have been unusual if it were official vacation or even business travel. But, it’s simply a random get-away. Insert light bulb going off here: 'I am retired!!' As strange as it may seem, I often forget that I am no longer employed. …
My husband and I have been long-time friends with Stan and Deidre Hewitt.
