Beginning Life as a Full Retiree

This has been my first full week of absolute workless retirement!  I have been taking things slowly.  Getting out of bed when I felt like it.  Eating when I was hungry.  Making no appointments or scheduling anything!  Only one thing I wanted to do was to make sure I took at least one good walk a day.






I have been taking a different route each day, to keep things more interesting.  Work and exhaustion was my excuse for not exercising.  It's good to be moving again!






I've never seen this marker on 9th Ave N before.

This gazebo is in Round Lake Park.

I saw these colorful homes nearby.

This morning I went on my walk with my friend Dave.  Although there was a fine mist in the air, it cleared up shortly after we set out.  This is a couple blocks from my apartment, as we were finishing up our walk.
