Jeff graduates!


Ken flew to Las Vegas yesterday morning (very early--we got to the airport at 4:40 a.m.) to attend Jeff's graduation today. Jeff has earned a Master of Science in Global Leadership degree from the University of San Diego, and his dad didn't want to miss this special occasion. He'll fly back tomorrow morning (again very early--he's arriving in Madison at 7:25 a.m.).


So I've had a couple of days at the campground to catch up on paperwork. It's been very quiet around here--I'm not used to being on my own, since Ken and I have been together pretty much all the time since we retired. We've read that some couples find that being together so much in such a small living space doesn't work for them. After five months of our new life, it seems to be working quite well for us. Of course, back in our relatively big stick house we didn't have to negotiate about who's going to brush their teeth first, or have to take turns walking around the end of the bed. But we also didn't have the satisfaction of experiencing all of life's adventures as a team. On balance it's been rewarding for us to have the time to spend together.
