Wish I could have too, but I had to wait until I was able to stash away all the money I could muster up to have enough money to do it at age 62 1/2. It's been good, but I can't imagine how much better it would have been if I hadn't had to use up at that time while my body was young enough to be as active as I wanted to be. Don't get me wrong. My father only lived 9 more years after he retired and he had active Rheumatoid Arthritis. I have been lucky enough, even through a few setbacks, to still travel and spend time with my family and play golf once or twice a week. I would be out there today if the temperature hadn't been 29 degrees this morning. I may be a cold weather northerner, but I like to think I'm not stupid either.

Our ranch didn't have paved roads. When I learned to drive, it was like an obstacle course trying to dodge all the massive potholes, etc. When my mom was pregnant with me, they had scheduled her ceasarian, but then a huge winter storm hit and they were snowed in at the ranch. Then my mom's back started hurting. They called in the county commissioner, who was a friend, and he had a plow brought out to plow right to the door so my dad could take my mom into town so they were close to the hospital.
