We have gotten some snow. It is not
sticking to the cement surfaces, but the grass, leaves, and rooftops show a bit
of accumulation. For a while it appeared that much more would come but it has
stopped for the moment. That is nice. I just hope the blooming fruit trees are
not hurt by this late cold that goes with it all.
Leroy has many stamps spread out on
the table. He has been working at organizing and putting some away. Perhaps
when I retire I will have to take up a hobby. I did read about someone who
walks people instead of dogs. Apparently it has gone over quit well as he had
to hire helpers. That sounded interesting to me until I walked behind some slow
people this morning. I am afraid it might drive me nuts if the client would
need to walk slowly. This was also a good way for some people to get out and
visit with others.
Another job that some do in retirement
is working with people who need someone to come in and change a light bulb or
do some other easy task that is out of reach for certain people. Often this
also turns into a friendly visit.
We have both talked about volunteering
when we retire. I guess the possibilities are endless if one can just think of
the best fit for oneself. Leroy is certainly getting more serious about our
next moves. He wants to spend more time talking about it and planning. I just
love sticking my head in the sand because I do not know what is best for us. I
really think our children should live close to each other and we would just go
there. For some reason the kids do not follow my mental instructions.
