    I work in a Senior retirement community and I LOVE IT so much it is not work – I do activities with the independant living residents which are all fun things I enjoy – dining out, shopping, theatre, museums, travel – find new places to go and things to do – makes me happy as I love to be around people.

    • Kathy,
      My husband grew up in Lafayette. I grew up in Bloomington and we met in school at Indiana University. My husband’s family still lives in Lafayette and my parents still live in Bloomington. Nice part of the country.

    • Carole-where do you live in Iowa? I live in NE Iowa up in Osage…my neighbor Louise does spinning and I have another gal in my women’s Bible study small group who desires to learn. Interesting to meet 2 women in a short time’s length who spin!! Louise is just learning to do 2-ply spinning. We live in the same apt. building, just kitty-corner across from each other, so I love to pop in when she is spinning her yarn..was doing alpaca yarn when I was last over. She has 2 burlap bags of sheep fleece in the basement waiting to be prepped for spinning!
      What an interesting hobby…God bless your day!

      • Karen,

        Can’t tell you how much I appreciate your post. My husband is a spinning instructor, too, but it’s at the YMCA …and on stationary bikes. Just goes to show you how a word “spinning” can mean 2 different things to two different people in two different parts of the country (we live in the city). I was reading your reply and had never heard of “2 ply spinning”, so I asked my husband…who had no idea what I was talking about. Then I read the rest of your post and realized that you were talking about yarn. Oh my gosh. What a great laugh!

  16. I am from Tempe, Arizona and my age is 54. This is my first year in retirement from teaching third grade for 25 years, so lately I have had more free time to do what I love. Believe it or not, I enjoy working out with my personal trainer, who’s also a believer. I didn’t seem to have the time or energy to do this when I was teaching. I’m blessed to be able to train for an hour, three times a week during midmorning, and then have a light lunch or breakfast in the Club’s Cafe, where I do some reading, too. I’m looking forward to training two shelties of mine to be hospital therapy dogs–my heartfelt dream is to visit adults and kids in hospitals (and hospices too) with my sweet Amazing Grace, AKA Gracie. My other dream and love is creating silk flower arrangements. I want to do this for cemeteries and have a small business idea that God has put into my heart. Thanks and glory to God, I’m in a good place in my journey! I am learning how my relationship with Jesus can satisfy the desires of my heart.
