Prairie Dogs -
not taken by me.
This is the first day of my countdown to my first old-age pension cheque, and it's Groundhog Day.
Not much is said any more about Groundhog Day. In fact, not many of the dear little critters are even seen during the warmer months in this area.
When I first came to Prince Edward County, ON (Picton) in 1975, I would see them along the highway all the time just sitting there watching the traffic or running from it. Now they seem to be extinct. In the last 10 years, I have seen only two.
Anyone wanting to teach their children about them, though, can read a wonderful old book by Thornton W. Burgess called 'The Adventure's of Johnny Woodchuck'. They are the same animal, I'm sure.
The purpose of this blog is to count down the days until I retire.
When I retire, if I am still in good health, I will drive out west and start a bicycling trip east across the Trans Canada Trail to Newfoundland. Hopefully, I can do it in one year.
If possible, I will also blog the trip at the same time, and photograph Canada as I see it.
I hope to fill the blog with tips on cycling, and interesting links I find on the net.
I hope to show others, esp. seniors, the ease and wonders of cycling, and doing it inexpensively.
There will be many valuable tips re: cycling, and other items of interest, mostly related.
Today, we are moving our former site to this new one.
Happy Groundhog Day, folks.
Karen

Hi Mom,
I've transferred all your posting from the old site now (you might want to double check to make sure I didn't miss any). I was even able to change the dates to make it look like they were posted on the same days as they were on the original site. I hope this site works better for you than reallifelog.
Happy Groundhog BIRTHDAY Karen.
Happy trails to you.
Love Jo
Karen’s way to do it on the cheap find a man with a good pension and use his money and for additional money skim as much as you can into a secret account for later use all for herself. !!!
