Did I Say That Out Loud?: Ramblings in Retirement

A light reading, fun filled book about some of the many fits and starts of getting used to retirement. Reflections, the reality of aging, and a humorous look at everyday life. This book has 25 short stories about everything from seeming disaster in do-it-yourself projects to the places your mind might wander if you let it. There are stories about growing up and character shaping that comes full circle with heartbreak of aging parents and Alzheimer's. Travel along with the author when she discovers men's underwear in the great outdoors, figures out how to write a will, buy a travel trailer sight unseen, beg for bacon, attempt to keep up with yardwork with dogs and cats as helpers and much more. The best part is that it's all true. The maxim implied is that if you get bored in retirement, then you aren't paying attention to all that life has to give. Get out there, laugh at this, laugh at yourself. You'll be glad you did.
