Arrived Back in Fort Walton Beach, Florida, April 30, 2013. Doing some home repairs and upgrading. Will be visiting our first Grandson in Ozark, MO for his first birthday and do some babysitting. This year I am the Local Reunion Chairman for the TLCB Reunion in Fort Walton Beach, FL (3 October thru 6 October 2013). Still want to do traveling as time and money allows.
