The 2012-2013 Hiatus from DuJour

    Well, as you may have noticed, Du Jour has been neglected since October 2012.  A devastating leach line replacement pretty well annihilated the garden, and so it lay dormant through a long cold winter. And during that time, life has changed.
    This year there will be no gardens. This decision was made with the decision to retire from my 11 year job.  An early retirement means financial worries, but those are less stressful than the daily job stresses at this time, so the decision was made, and May 30 will be my final day at work. On June 10, we will leave on a 4 month road trip, taking photos of all of the lighthouses on the West coast of the United States from the border of Mexico to the Canadian border. And then in to Canada to visit friends. We will return home around October 10.  During this time, our home has been rented out as a vacation rental.
     We will be visiting friends and family along the way, and camping with our Teardrop Lil Guy in between. The three of us...me, Roy and Guayo, will be learning as we go, and hope everything goes well.  I am hoping to be able to use Blogspot for The Retirement Road Trip blog to keep everyone apprised of our adventures, but seems to be some new format on Blog Spot that may have me migrating elsewhere. Will let you all know.
     So, until next fall, DuJour will be on hiatus.  See you all then.
