How alike we are.

People ask why I don’t go to a retirement home........not for me, I avoided all those non- thinkers for a lifetime.

I go for weeks without seeing a living person and keep busy, to the point that I do not have time for the things that need doing.

One of my biggest blessings was for my sister to take all the bills under her address, so I do not need the mailbox, which was too far from the house for me to go to.

Retirement did not turn out as I planned, but still beats working.

No clocks to punch or shoes to wear.

**I do not have time for the things that need doing.**

I hear you, Granny! I need to vaccuum and dust and mop and... Somehow fun projects win out over chores most of the time. I sit down at my computer, and my articles and stories suck me in and the next thing I know, it’s way past my bedtime! I do cook though, almost every night. :)

Don’t blame you for not going to a home. While they’re much better than they used to be, still... I’ll probably never make it to “retired”.

I have a lot of family and friends, would so much rather they come to my house and not the other way around! I am such a homebody! If we lived closer, I’d come visit you though! LOL
