Well , dad and I are trying to keep busy in our older years. He has made our sunroom into an office and starting to put windows in, also helps out the folks around the neighborhood doing odd jobs for the widows and putters in the garage. He also keeps busy with his church calling.
My interest is in trying to make a quilt, reupholster a chair , finding time to read , and walking some everyday to lose this weight. I also have a church calling.
Funny thing about retirement and old age, you find you have all this time on your hands, a long list of " To Do" things but then making the list and doing them are two different things. We tend to just want to do what we want to do most days! And some days you find you may not want to do anything at all! haha!
I do enjoy getting out of the house every now and then and visit with people or just walk around the various stores. Sometimes I like to seek out new places that I haven't been and check them out.
We have a small house here on douglas st. and really it doesn't take too much work keeping it up so I am always getting done fast and out the door. But whatever , dad and I our both filling our days, hours, and minutes with the things we enjoy doing the most! thats RETIREMENT! But I do often wish all the kids lived near by and could drop in and say hi .
