I keep telling him, this is not how it goes...

This is day 22 of the King’s retirement… and

day 5 of his fishing trip…

I get daily updates on how the trip is going.

See he was invited by his nephew to go on

the fishing trip of a life time..  It is a 64

Foot by 15 foot house boat.  On a lake in

Washington state.  A week of it.. 

He packed for a week before.. had a list a page

full, of what to bring.. from clothes to food.

And gear, of course.  He went over a couple

hours early.. he wasn’t excited.. no .. lol

It started off bumpy.. seems they had to be towed

back to the dock about a half hour into the trip.

But all good things come to those who wait.. as

they were up graded to a nicer boat.. with a JACUZZI!

And they were given an extra day..

So every am, he calls to tell me how great it is..

On day four he was sitting on the top part with

coffee cup in hand, looking over the landscape of

woods, to see a deer mosey down the hill to the

Lake.  And the fish they have gotten.. and ate

for dinner.. And when I asked if he was going to

be able to bring some home.. he said he didn’t know.

Told him …hey, you are out there on the boat, enjoying

yourself.. eating the fish as you go… how about me?

I want fish too… lol…   

He called me on day 3 at night.. telling me about

just getting out of the Jacuzzi.

Also have to keep reminding him.. “you know this

is not the normal retirement life..”… I have been

retired 13 years and I had none of that in my

retirement years.. and he laughs, yea, I know.

He sounds so happy and relaxed… and I am

happy for him.
