Hello Crossy. :-)

It has been a bit. :)

Gorgeous afternoon here. After a glorious Summer, we are still having great weather. Long may it last (particularly with regard to the increased cost of home heating fuel).
9:07 am
crosshair

Indeed. Autumn is my favourite time, and our fall colours are on full display right now. : Light sweater in the morning, and sunny, balmy afternoons.
9:08 am
Nef

Good Morning
9:09 am
crosshair

And the smell in the forest on our hiking trails is like an elixer to me. Roaming the trails like a Hobbit on an adventure. :)
9:09 am
Soodle

Hi Nef.
9:09 am
crosshair

Howdy, Nef.
9:09 am
Nef

How are you guys?
9:09 am
crosshair

Digging the day, and enjoying the fall colours.
9:10 am
Soodle

All good here, thank you. Hope all is well with you?
9:10 am
Nef

Doing okay so far. ;)
9:11 am
crosshair

Every day on this side of the dirt is a good one. :)
9:13 am
Nef

Agree, crossy. Our colors are starting here, but I was just in Montana (seeing family) & certain parts of that state werejust starting to change whilr otherswere already done.
9:13 am
Soodle

I’m easing myself into retirement. Had my hip replaced in September & honestly can’t see myself ever returning to the rat race. I’ll stay on the payroll until my sick pay is exhausted, then Adios
9:14 am
BzznBea

Good for you, Soodle! Spend more time with those grandbabies.
9:14 am
crosshair

Very nice--not the hip, but retirement. I am also in my first year of retirement.
9:14 am
Nef

Good for you, Soodle. I had a hip replacement 14 years ago& had no problems with it, but the knee replacement made me retire.
9:15 am
Soodle

That’s the plan, Bea. :-)
9:15 am
crosshair

To be honest, my life, my minutes and hours are so full that I have no idea how I ever found time for a job. :)
9:16 am
Nef

That’s so true of so many of us crossy.
9:17 am
crosshair

I am also liking the senior discounts I am now getting at many of our stores :)
9:18 am
Soodle

They say the knee replacement is a lot trickier than the hip. I enjoyed confusing the hospital staff by answering ‘elbow’ to the question ‘Hip or knee?’
9:19 am
crosshair

Shhh, don't say knees, mine are hanging in for now, but they might hear you.
9:21 am
Nef

Knees are tougher than hips.
And Soodle, I can just see their response when you said that! :)

Hi hokie
9:21 am

Noticed for the first time yesterday that I am starting to walk older as well. Had to grab something from the Jeep and someone watching my gait would have been reminded of being on a ship at sea during a storm. :)
