Knitting:
I'm really excited about knitting! I've taken a few classes and have knitted three scarves and a hat. I'm working on another two scarves and another hat. In September, I'll take a five week class on knitting a cardigan.
Guitar playing:
I also picked up my old guitar and am taking a beginner's acoustic guitar class with a friend at a local senior center. I haven't decided yet whether I'll continue with the guitar or not, but it's been fun. If I continue it, I have to commit myself to consistent practice. Right now, I'm having too much fun trying out different things. Very soon, I want to take an introduction to pottery class and a crochet class.
Constants in my life since retirement:
The things I knew I'd consistently make time for in retirement are spending more time with friends and family, exercising, writing and reading. I've now added knitting to that list.
Trying out a local comedy club soon:
A friend from Woodlands is visiting soon and we're going to visit one of the local comedy clubs as well as a local live music venue. I'm excited!
