I am a retired school teacher, as is my husband. We have been retired for several years, and for
the most part have enjoyed these retirement years. We did a little traveling, enjoyed our
married children, welcomed into the world our grandchildren, and have had fun together.
Now our lives have diminished a bit because we are caring for an aged mother. She lives with us
and keeps us close to home. Life isn't bad, but we feel the strain of dealing with her lack of memory and reasoning skills. You know how it is: same stories, same questions over and over.
To add to the challenges, this year I have experienced a hip replacement surgery and the ensuing recovery.
The thought has occurred to me that there are many things that I have intended to do, that are still waiting to be done. Some are possible, some are not. Now this is in no way a "Bucket List".
But I do intend to try some new thing every day, and to tell you about my new adventures. By necessity these will be simple, close-to-home adventures. And, since I am an alphabet book collector, I will try to do them in alphabetical order! Don't hold me to that promise. I am enormously disorganized. How many Z's can I find to do anyway?
