Last week my husband, Steve, took the "plunge" and signed up for Social Security.  This was not a decision made lightly as we spent the better part of 8 months researching S.S., revamping our budget (juggling would be a better term),  going back and forth, "should I? should I not? . . . over and over the figures again, trying to reach the "right" decision.  

It came to him first:  "Time is most important."  He's going to go to 20 hours per week at Home Depot Oct. 1st!

It came to me the next day:  "We don't have to have all the answers.  We can't. This is unfamiliar territory."   Thus the name of our blog.

Join us, won't you, as we move through this "unfamiliar territory" where our main goal is to spend more time together in these our "Golden Years" of semi-retirement.   I have no doubt there will be fun-filled days ahead, and a few bumps and scrapes along the way.  But, isn't that what life is all about anyway? Good times and those not so good . . . growing together, trusting God to make a way, and knowing when we can't trace His hand we can trust His heart.
