Fun Fall Day

Yesterday was a great day.  It started out with coffee with my wonderful husband.  Then met with one of my longest, dearest friends for coffee and were in the midst of our "catching up" when we received a phone call from another great friend and was asked to meet for lunch to celebrate with another friend who just landed a new job.  We were able to enjoy a great lunch outside (except for the bugs) in downtown St. Croix Falls.  Then I was on to my photography class.  Wow, it is amazing how much I don't know about photography.  It is another language.  I thoroughly enjoyed learning and found that out of the nine of us in the class four of us are young retirees and are searching for new ventures during our retirement.  How fun is that?  And now I have HOMEWORK, wow I thought I left that a long time ago.  But it is fun homework, using different settings on my camera and taking pictures to see the differences.  It is a great time to take a photography class what with the beautiful leaves, and clear crisp weather.  I am excited to finally be feeling like I am enlightening myself in uncharted territory and also back in the real world.  It is fun to make new friends, converse about something other than "what do you do with your time", "do you enjoy your retirement?", etc., you know what I mean or maybe you don't?  Anyway, take it from me retirement is wonderful, it just takes some time getting used to it.  When you raise a family and work for 35 years you don't even think about what you want to for fun.  But, when you retire, all of a sudden a whole new world opens up for you.  Gotta love it!
