I think he needed it.
When I would tell people he was getting ready to retire and not planning to get a job,
most were concerned that he would be
bored out of his gourd.
He's not a man who is content to sit still for very long.
So far a lot has been accomplished,
windows have been replaced,
shutters have been repainted
and a front porch has been added.
I think the house is looking pretty good!
The yard is greener, the family room has been redone (replaced paneling
and painted), new floors have been put down in the kitchen, living and dining rooms.
Ceilings have been painted. (He almost never painted before retirement.)
I like this bored out of his gourd bit.
"E" enjoys the front porch. |

In between all that he has acquired motorcycles to repair and resale,
found his own dream bike, maintains the grounds at our church, fixed up
a house or two for some little old ladies, as well as doing some repairs at one
of the businesses he used to deliver mail to.
If only he did housework.
