The Blue Shield came as part of my dad's pension plan though. Most of us won't have those choices.Daizyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08075279944974601962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6787157690355329112.post-35703648679731469162016-09-28T19:11:18.572-07:002016-09-28T19:11:18.572-07:00Yes, I am in the US - but am 59 - 6 years till Med...Yes, I am in the US - but am 59 - 6 years till Medicare, and then I hear a lot of doctor's don't accept medicareAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6787157690355329112.post-82778677391758324862016-09-27T20:09:11.753-07:002016-09-27T20:09:11.753-07:00Maybe if I had a greenhouse and grew through the w...Maybe if I had a greenhouse and grew through the winter.

I planted one at my first house too which is now my rental. I wonder if my current renters appreciate it. Probably not.Daizyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08075279944974601962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6787157690355329112.post-16049964369827668782016-09-27T19:59:54.435-07:002016-09-27T19:59:54.435-07:00I know, fall already.

Thought zucchini...Wow, time is running away!<br />I also<br />Thought zucchini easy to grown, it's hard to keep up with a plant here but you are right, it's all a bit different in the desert. Exciting times when you get to move back to your land though :)<br />Lizzie@her MFW Homeworldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13181986371554435192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6787157690355329112.post-23963889295205795202016-09-24T14:33:30.505-07:002016-09-24T14:33:30.505-07:00Autumn came quickly here in NY.

But then the temps dropped fast so we will barely hit 70 for the next week or so (at least), with the overnight lows in the low 50s. Very nice, September weather at its best.<br /><br />I remember my senior year of high school, too. It began with a cast on my left arm for the first week due to a bike mishap in late July. I had a case of senioritis, struggling in my AP courses until I got going in them - then not caring much about any other schoolwork except for my driving test. I also struggled in my freshmen year of college, dropping 2 classes (gave back my AP advanced credits, basically). But I got back on track in my second year and did well after that.<br /><br />The early retirement bug didn't hit me until I paid off my mortgage at 35. I thought I'd be able to retire by my early 50s but things went better than expected so I got out at 45, 8 years ago. I hope you can get out by 50, Daizy.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05503978839912338538noreply@blogger.com
