School Story:

Notorious.

What's next on your "Bucket List"? What have you accomplished so far on your "Bucket List"?

In 2014 We bought 5 acres near Punta Gorda, Florida, planting tropical trees on it. Put up a 20x40 pole barn and am in the process of building a cabin in part of it. Poured the 22x22 pad for the cabin in March 2018. Will have the concrete block walls put up in November of 2018. The southern CP is manned off and on in the January to March time period when we are not at the military campground in Key West. Recognized the reality of becoming a senior citizen in 2019 upon reaching 75 and sold the Florida land and our Victorian house in the country on 5 acres near Bath NY. Moved to a smaller house in the village of Painted Post, NY. Now Patricia and I have cut back to a few weeks on the beach each year under a palm tree in the Florida Keys during February. Thinking about Cuba as an alternate if the Military Base at Key West gets too hard to book days at during February.
