I have time for this last posting to catch things up before the wedding. I am in Virginia. Daisy has not officially retired yet, so guess who is being the supreme go-fer. Yours truly of course. Daisy and I plan at night and I execute during the store hours. Actually its fun! Including doing parades. More on that shortly....

Our winter place lot in Texas is now poured and waiting for our arrival and occupation. We will however have to make a quick visit to move the 'house on wheels' from a temporary lot to this improved lot in late September. Utilities are already connected and waiting.

But before I left Arkansas, I did take the time to play with friends on the lake and in the open fields...
I arrived in Virginia in enough time for Daisy and me to go to northern Georgia to attend a wedding of Scott and Regina. Regina I met several years ago at a resort in San Antonio. Daisy and I used their ceremony and got some ideas in the planning for ours. Theirs was very casual and out-of-doors. With the BBQ and dance party that followed it can best be described as a fun event.
Over the fourth of July, Daisy gave me the opportunity to be in the town's Independence Parade as a walker for the Democratic party float. The last float I was connected to had Smokey Bear in it some years ago. So I put on my uniform of hat and a 'Young Democrat' color coordinated T-shirt and had a ball.

I also attended two retirement parties and a birthday party for Daisy that was hosted by her workmates. There were lots of tears, smiles and warnings for me to take good care of her or else!
