NO, YOU CANNOT GO HOME AGAIN!!!

Okay, so I said I would write about dating on the next blog.  As you can probably tell, there has not been much action – on the dating scene, that is!!  It seems my elder son’s family is ready for me to leave here, too.  One thing for sure is that I am so happy I didn’t have more children because there are none left to throw me out.  This ousting was a little gentler than the last time however, as they know I have to save money to be able to move.  Silly me, I thought we were like Castle and it was going swimmingly!  Shows what I know!  The good thing is that my sons can be good friends again.  The elder was angry at the younger for having thrown me out, but now they are even.

 I thought that living here, I would be able to work part time, take some vacations – perhaps back to Florida for the winter – and other places and things that “normal” retirees do.  Since that is now no longer possible I will have to work all of the time to be able to pay rent and live.  The rate of pay for those of us over 65 is not wonderful, so I am thinking that as long as I have to do that, it would be smarter to live in Florida (lonely or not) and be able to play golf occasionally!

Socializing is not high on my son’s list, so I would not be seeing him very often.  Anyway, I have a temporary job until about June, so I will be able to save some money – and all of my “stuff” is still in storage in Florida.  Perhaps someone wiser than I knew that this was not going to work out as I had hoped and everything I would need to set up housekeeping is still there!

It is definitely not a tragedy, but certainly something to think about!  Rowing is definitely out, though.  Too bad, too, because it is an extremely fun thing to do!

I will try to write a little more often to keep you entertained.
As, usual, thanks for checking.  Ricci
