The old folks at the Christmas dance.

We are Richard and Mary Norman retired in 2009 and loving it.

Living in East Tennessee and participating in only fun things for as long as we can.  Our current list of fun things to do include: golf, bluegrass banjo music, knitting, reading, photography, sailing, kayaking, dancing and a host of other “ings” too numerous to mention.

We are the parents of three fine adults and grandparents of six exceptional children.

 Richard does most of the blogging, Mary offers suggestions and acts as editor when I ask her.

I intend this blog to be a collection of notes on my observations and opinions that may well cover territory from sailing to politics to family matters, eBay or current affairs – you just never know what topic might pop into my demented mind at any given moment. In other words, nothing of particular importance unless you are interested in learning what makes me tick.

Keep in mind that the thoughts and opinions are my own and are likely to offend some while delighting others. The goal is to cause you (and me) to exercise the stuff between our ears and to have a little fun while doing it.

So, sit back and have a little fun
