This is Me!

Surprisingly, I’ve settled into retirement like it’s what I was always meant to do. I have a lot of interests and hobbies. I’m taking acrylic painting classes and absolutely loving it. I’m taking a genealogy research class at Boston University. I read a lot and practice my Spanish. My language learning app says I’m at the “Not Annoying” level, although I’m certain I can be quite annoying at this level. I do a little cooking, but I’m not one of those from-scratch cooks. I’m more of a semi-scratch cook. I use a lot of frozen meats and vegetables and easy (or bottled) sauces.

I love, love, love retirement! I don’t miss work at all.I want to use this blog to share my interests and activities with others who might like the same things. Although I’m at retirement age, my sister and grown kiddos tell me I’m a “young retiree.” I’m sure they mean young at heart and young in some of my interests because I hobble around on wobbly knees like an old person. When I retired, I felt old. Since I’ve had time to catch up on rest and do some fun things, I feel young-ish again.
