Busy

In the world of retirement a person could have visions "what should I do today"?  That is not the world of retirement that Terry and I live in.  It seems, I am not complaining in any way, that in our real world it is thinking of a list of things that need to get done and wondering in the morning what on that list can be done today.  Slowly, very slowly, we are checking things off and getting things that need to be taken care of before we head north.  We received our Visas in the mail last Saturday.  I was a bit on edge as we had to send our passports in for that and not only did we need to get them back in time but we there is always the thought of them getting lost.  We are in the middle of getting some work done on the pool.  We are not doing that work but it needed to be done this spring.  A guy came yesterday and put a pump in the pool to drain it.  He then left and did not come back all day!!  Sort of makes me worried about the kind of work they do. 
We enjoyed having Jerry and Susan here for two nights.  They took in one of my tennis matches so here was my chance to show the world my tennis skills and I fell flat on my face!  Not literally but figuratively!  Follow through Carmen, follow through Carmen, follow through Carmen. I still remain on the bottom of the sub list so the matches are few and far between.  Still not sure what I need to do for next fall.  Neither of us have played much tennis the last couple of weeks as it has been busy but Terry will be on the court three times this week.
We had an eye opener on our supplemental health insurance.  We did not investigate it enough last year and took a plan that we were told was the best.  We found out that in the world of Medicare and supplemental  plans-- all "F" plans are the same!!  So yesterday we went and changed to a plan that covers the same as ours but for the two of us will save us about $65 a month!  I guess the thing to do is live, learn and then save money--and hope that you save money before all yours is spent!!
We are looking at camping in the Washington DC area for a couple of nights.  It looks like that may be a challenge.  We do have a place to stay if we want to go that route but will see.  Friends, Bruce and Anita, have offered to have us stay with them.  Bruce said it would be easy to travel by train to the the sights rather than try to drive.  He said rush hour traffic in DC is from 6-10 and 4-8!!  We will see.
No, the FP is gone and things need to get done around here.
