Hi to all. Since retiring in 1995, Jim and I are having lots of fun traveling and keeping up with seven grandchildren. Each year I try something new to help keep young – ha. Went back to school, taught scripture class, joined a new club, drove a jet ski, took lessons on horseback riding, joined Red Hats, fell off a bike – done with that! – went to computer class (you would never know it).
This year I may try a boating course and ride the new ride at Waldameer. Happy 50th – God bless you all with good health, happiness.
