Another Stage in Our Aging Years

Dodie and Family with Us ( without Philip)

The other day, Macrine and I had a visit from our oldest son (Dodie) and his wife(Ruth). He officially informed us, he will early retire next month (last month was his 61st birthday) on December 20 ( my 85th birthday). After one year, he has an option to go back for part time work. Dodie said he will work part time next year if he needs tuition  money for Marina's( his youngest daughter) post graduate studies. During his retirement, he plans on finishing his second novel as well as continue his and Ruth's world-wide travel activities.

Macrine and I were so happy of their visit ( not too often). Dodie has a  successful career as a Prosecuting Attorney for Contra Costa County for more than 25 years. A few of his cases are well publicized in the local newspapers.
