Happy New Year!
Bruce officially retired Jan 2, and both of us started Medicare on Jan 1. Life becomes interesting...so they say. So far, not so much.
Eileen went on a Princess Carribean cruise with a friend we met on an Amawaterways river cruise in 2023. They visited the Bahamas, Puerto Rico, and St. Thomas. The whole time she kept teasing Bruce that he should have gone with her. Maybe next time.
We have a new president and federal administration. We are scared.

We finally had the old, large, brown leather sofa that we've had in our family room for over 20 years removed. It's being replaced by a smaller brown leather sofa plus loveseat we got from some neighbors. I will miss the electric recliners, but we have recliners in our living room.

Bruce transitioned from a blood glucose (BG) monitor to a continuous glucose monitor (CGM). So he began learning exactly how his body reacts to specific foods. At times it seems like his BG randomly swings up and down, but there is probably an answer for what's really happening there and he just hasn't discovered it yet.
Lea Last, our au pair from Aug 1998 until Jul 1999, visited us for a few days. She's from Estonia but currently lives outside of London, UK, with her husband and son. We have kept in close touch with Lea all these years and she is like family to us.
