Retirement Life

84 and sunny.  Life is great in southern Arizona.  The front door is open and the screen door put into use.  Enjoying college basketball this afternoon and doing nothing.

Last night was a pot luck supper in the park.  It was not well attended but the people who did come brought great tasting food.  In my humble opinion, the reason for the small turn out had to do with the new Entertainment People.  Even though they live in the park, they have never participated in any of the activities before taking the job. They made the pot luck on a Friday night at 6:30 pm.  6:30 is to late for most of the people to have dinner.  So they changed it to 6 pm but not everyone got the message so some people showed up at 6:30 to a room full of people just finishing eating.  Now these late people are also new people.  If the schedule says 6:30 you better be there closer to 6 pm.  Eating starts at 6:30 sharp.  That's the way it's always been.  Everything starts on time so if you want to sit with people you'd like to chat with, get there early.  You know us old people, we're set in our ways.

We usually don't do anything on weekends.  We leave the stores and such to the working families who only have the weekends to get things done.  Another advantage of not having to keep a rigid schedule.  We're enjoying it all.  To the Olive Groves on Monday.  Will try to put up some pictures.
