A Day in the Life of a Retiree

November 28, 2007 Here I am a new blogger and already I missed a day. Yesterday I worked on the book about my father. I have his letters that he wrote to my mother during WW2, all 108 of them. I am incorporating into the letters, extracts from a book entitled the History of the Lincoln and Welland (that was his regiment), and some of the articles by Ernie Pyle, a war correspondent during 1944 for the Windsor Star. In that way we can see what was actually going on when my father wrote these letters. It is fun, I am almost done. I don't know if I will ever find anyone to publish them.
My younger son, who lives with us, came down with the flu, has a temperature, diarrhea and vomiting, so had to take care of him yesterday too, hope my husband and I don't get it. I don't have my fly shot yet.
Today the cleaning ladies came so my husband and I went to Timmies for a coffee, did the crossword. Then we went to the Raceway Slots and he won $400 on a 50 cent machine. He is very lucky!
Today plan to work on the book some more. And maybe some genealogy.
