I had a series of topics I wanted to write about, but I simply haven’t had the time. So instead I’m cramming them all in one. Sorry. Get over it.
Dad’s Retirement
My Dad retired last week. Not retired like he thinks I am (I work from home) but really retired. Like golfing every day retired. Keeping the nice people at NetFlix busy retired. Really retired. Of course the GM shareholders found out and started dumping GM’s stock.
Kiva
My Kiva loan (tortilla production in Honduras) was repaid the other day, and I reinvested it - this time in a chicken operation in Tanzania. Like the first loan, I should get my money back in 10 months when I’ll pick another operation to loan the money to.
Wicked
Steve took Laura and I to dinner & Wicked last week. I tried reading the book, but after about 1-1/2 hours, I was only about 8 pages in, and gave up. Some things I just can’t read. Anyway, the play was great - excellent storyline. I’d say there were a few songs they could’ve cut out, and Shea’s could have turned on the A/C - it was HOT in there! But we had a great time.
Fantasy Island
The next day, we went to Fantasy Island with the Fitzpatricks. This was the kids first day of summer vacation, so we wanted to treat them. I think we were last at Fantasy Island 2 years ago. The park was practically empty! After a long day on the rides & such, we went to Friendly’s for dinner. What a deal - 5 of us ate, with ice cream, for under $40. Can’t beat that!
Canada Day
Finally, yesterday we went to the Buffalo Yacht Club to watch the Canada Day fireworks at Ft. Erie. The club was closed, but we managed to get in anyways and had the balcony to ourselves.
