On Friday night, Becky and I visited with college friends for dinner at Scales and Shells here in Newport. It was so much fun. It had been a few years since the last time we were together, bringing back some great memories of our time at Babson.
With our oldest child now a sophomore in college and our youngest applying, it’s a funny time to be a parent. We’re in sort of a slack tide, knowing day-to-day life will be a lot different this time next year when we’re empty nesters. It’s hard not to think, “Wow, this has gone by fast.”
On Saturday, Becky and I felt like college kids taking a drive with our dog Louis to have lunch in Westport, MA, at The Back Eddy, followed by a walk along Horseneck beach. “When was the last time we got to do this?” we said.
On our walk, I was thinking about when I was a kid this was the restaurant, then called Moby Dick’s, where I’d come with my family to celebrate special occasions.
When I talk with you, and we discuss Your Retirement Life, you tell me that you’ve never been busier between, weddings, grandchildren, or planning out your next few months.
Action Line: As a longtime client reminds me: “We just need to keep on swimming.”
