Life After Retirement

A recent picture of us taken in March 2007

Trout Fishing on the Illinois River with my Mom, Virginia Anthony

Billie's Catch

When fishing with our grandchildren, my job is to untangle lines, bait hooks and remove fish from the line.

On the Beach with the Grandchildren in the Caribbean

We play cards a lot.  Billie plays several times a week with a couple of groups.
We play 'Hand and Foot' its a game similar to Canasta. Uh Oh, I'm in trouble
here, I see that she has gotten her meld of 'wild cards' which is worth 2000 points.
However, if you'll look closely, you can see that I'm in my foot (I have no cards
in the pouch around my neck, whereas you can see cards in Billie's pouch.
Ultimately, however, my teammates and I beat her and her teammates in this game.
She says we just got lucky!
