Bentley ate all the training treats in my fanny pouch for Marley’s dog class. I had to restock.
Thursday I met with my financial
counselor from First Command. Things are pretty well on track towards
my retirement. She suggested that I don’t collect my SS until age 70
for the higher rate. Then after that I came home for our dog training
class. One of our fellow classmates was a photographer and offered to
take pictures of the owners and their dogs for free. That was really
nice. Next week is our last class. Some will go on to more advanced
training. It’s amazing to see how far these dogs have come in their
behavior.
Friday I went to a homecoming of the soldiers at Camp Lincoln.
Farmer/soldiers return to Illinois from Afghanistan
I found this picture on the NG
facebook page of my and another veteran holding the welcome home
banner.
I have my soldiers angels wear red on Friday tee shirt.
In evening I went to see a play called Late Night Catechism at the Legacy Theater. I went in my school girl best.
Saturday I attended volunteer
training at the Old State Capitol. Lunch was included. There were many
new faces there. I still learned a lot. I also joined the Old State
Capitol Foundation. We now have a place to lock up our belongings while
giving a tour and other tips like the most asked questions of our
visitors.
My car got a detailing on Monday.
My oldest son took me to pick it up. My youngest son brought my little
motorcycle home from having a windshield installed. He dropped off the
Piaggio.
I’ve been going to strength classes
thru the Y on Mon and Wed. Tuesday I experimented by trying the
Zumba. I couldn’t make it the whole half hour and left, err, finished
early. My coworker laid down his HD Sportster for the first time. I
brought home some fine VFW chicken dinners.
I’ve altered a VFW honor guard
shirt to transform from a man’s size small to a woman’s size small. That
was a challenge. I’m also starting to sew some more neck coolers for
summer to go into the soldier’s boxes.
My cat was walking around the neighborhood with a sticky mouse traps stuck on his behind.
