excellent family sentiments, lugs.

and obviously the reason why we work and invet.

No kids--both taught school and wife retired at age 48 with a really good pension and went on to work for the Chief Judge of the Missouri Court of Appeals for 3 years. She spent 3 years in his law firm before the Missouri governor appointed him to the Court. She finally got to retire in 2006

I couldn't take anymore in the schools so started a little medical equipment business I ran from my house for 10 years before selling it also in 2006

We don't feel old, but it seems like the years can slip by pretty quickly. I think we've about gotten to the point where we've decided not to keep a personal residence anywhere. Can go back to Missouri to visit my brother for a week at a time, but otherwise no real hold anymore on SW Missouri.

I think we will just move from country to country (we've liked it so far with extended visits of 2 or more months to several places since 2006--the length of time determined by Visa restrictions. I think we see ourselves probably just becoming renters anytime we decide to spend some months in the U.S.

who knows, we change our mind--- a lot ha!

glad to hear the feel good story you told.
