SWINGING

Filed under: BLOGGING — grandi13 @ 11:03 pm

It has been a couple of years or there about since I have done any swinging.  I need to go to the park and get on the big swing and see just how high I can make myself go.

The grandchildren have a swing in my backyard.  I am not sure that it will last until the youngest is too big for it.  I may need to invest in what is known as connecticut swing sets.

Before I invest in such a pleasurable item, I first need to have the repairs done on my car and have the weak places in the floors of my home repaired.

LOCKED IN

Filed under: FAMILY,FRIENDS,FUN — grandi13 @ 10:38 pm

I was locked in the camp-site at Lake Waccamaw Friday night.  Campsite  is suppose to be open 8AM-8PM.  I arrived at the gate about 7:50 and it was locked tight as a drum.  First, I called the local number, reached a recording, that was absolutely no help.  Second, I called the 800 #, I did get a person, but they were unable to help me, saying to call 911.

I did not want to call 911 even tho it was an emergency to me for me to get out of the campsite, but I did not think I was in any danger.  I could have gone back to where my daughter was camping and spent the night with them, but really, really did not want to do that.

I did call 911 and first off told them I did not have an emergency then proceeded to tell the lady my problem.  She connected me to the local hospital and they called the park (power) ranger, came back to my line and said he would be there shortly and he was.

I was ever so very glad to get to my friends’ house and they had left the light on for me, but their place is better than a Motel 6.

RETIREMENT

Filed under: BLOGGING — grandi13 @ 10:35 pm

When I said I wanted to retire, my spouse said, if that is what you want to do, go ahead.  If I had known then what I know now, I would have waited another year maybe longer.

I retired on regular social security not social security disability. Thankful, I am that I did not need or do I think I now need disability payments.  I know that I am in a lot of pain when I work a full day, but so are many others.  I do not think I am physically fit to work fulltime.

FRIENDS

Filed under: FAMILY,FRIENDS — grandi13 @ 10:22 pm

I called my friends that have a house @Lake Waccamaw, right on the water, asking if I could spend the week-end there.  She replied, “of course you can, you can stay anytime you want and if you think someone else may be there, just call me.”

My daughter and her family were camping at the state park at the lake.  Her car is broken again, she bought the gas and I taxied them to their campsite.  I had to make 2 trips to get everyone there.  The second trip, I also took Bullett and his kennel.

Daughter and family enjoyed their week-end camping and I enjoyed time spent with my friends and their family.
