Sounds like fun, but exhausting! . . . . .

When we took early retirement and moved to the beach twelve years ago, we thought we would probably have frequent company as we have five kids and their kids and a couple of great-grandkids in the Portland area. But as it turns out, they have busy lives and now gas costs too much -- so we usually only have company about once a month for a day or so, and that is tiring enough. Guess we are getting settled in our regular day-to-day lives as we get older and don't welcome changes.
