In other over 55 communities I'd probably be watching TV all day. I never thought when I retired that I'd be so busy that I would look forward to a blank day on my calendar.
I have done more here in the past 2 months then I did in my little isolated mountain community in NM in 2 years. I have lunch on monday with the ladies on the street, tuesday is cards, starting tomorrow I am teaching a beading class, thursday is mah jong, etc. Hubby and I go to trivia on Sunday and out to eat twice a week. MUCH busier than I was before.
