I have lots of “indoor” interests that I envisioned I would partake of during retirement - so far I don’t have time for them,- but I suspect that will change when I get older and less “mobile”. I enjoy genealogy (I could see myself getting lost in this activity for hours each day). I also enjoy cooking - something I would like to spend more time at when I have more time at home - bucket list goal of mine is to cook the national dish of each country, starting alphabetically with Afghanistan all the way down to Zimbabwe. I also stocked up on DVDs over the last 30 years, anticipating watching them all in retirement (well over 10,000 movies, mostly classics from the 30s, 40s and 50s). I also spend time in Bible study at home.
So, for now, not a lot of time for indoor activities, but I will be ready for those more as I age and slow down (hopefully many years from now - lol).

I just want to say I enjoyed your interview with Jerry and Linda on their YouTube channel. It’s nice to put a face to a name. I’m so glad you’re enjoying your retirement here. We are too as newbies in DeLuna (from Calif), though we have 9 years on you so not quite as physically active. Enjoy your youth while you can! LOL! 😉
