Actually I already have enough contributions banked although I am not officially able to retire until a month after I'm 66 ... not that long to go now though!!Sue https://www.blogger.com/profile/04947919568474743963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787951981229151015.post-45218535439340900552021-06-20T07:51:46.498+01:002021-06-20T07:51:46.498+01:00Phew! thats too hot.

We went from rain a week ago to now being hot. 100 degrees F. on Monday. Phil is going to rent a chainsaw to cut wood in half that my sis and hubby are getting in a couple weeks. Cheaper than having to buy one. There are some fires happening in a few spots in Oregon as it's been dry. Two are in forest areas. Hopefully firefighters will get it taken care of and people don't lose houses and animals again.
