Victor, My wife and I trying to get the hang of this retired thing. I retired two years ago, but went through 2 orthopedic surgeries and recoveries, and am now starting to get around. My wife just retired at the end of October. Just yesterday, she told me she was glad to see me painting a kit so she wouldn't feel guilty doing some sewing.
Hi Mark
I have enjoyed reading your posts. Adapting to a retired lifestyle is not for the faint-hearted. It is so much different than spending 10+ hours per day in an professional career. Now that my wife has retired and just about recovered from a serious illness, we can do some traveling. The train stuff always interested me but until retirement and building a train room, there was no way to enjoy it. I did start purchasing a few years ago without any real idea what the layout would look like. For the most part, I was able to utilize the items purchased. I am doing more work with the church in an effort to be more useful. At age 72, I don't need any significant challenges. Hopefully you will or have fully recovered from the orthopedic issues and can enjoy the spousal company as well.
