Still at home getting ready

Here we are before we retired. We have enjoyed our two years off. Mike sold most of our rental properties so that he had fewer headaches to deal with, but he took on other projects like the presidency of the homeowners association and a weekly meditation group. Deanne did a little consulting for some great friends and wore out her library card. We spent as much time with the kids as they could spare; the two in college and the two married kids as well as the high school student still at home. We spent two years working out. Our combined weight loss during the two years of working out is about 90 pounds so far, so the pictures you see going forward will be the new, improved us.
We are in final preparation for our big adventure. Our youngest child graduates from high school on June 19th and we have a fun week with family coming to town to celebrate the superstar's accomplishments. After her graduation festivities she leaves for a summer in Spain before she starts college. We leave for a week long cruise with Deanne's mother and sisters. We will be back in town for our annual Fourth of July party, then off to Europe mid-July.
