THE THIRD PERIOD
why retirement is fun! - family - travel - activism - wellness - golf
After working in the corporate world for 35 years I am so lucky to now enjoy my time with my best friend, our five children, and our amazing extended family and friends. I want to try and share the experiences that we now have through family, activism, travel, golf and so much more! We intend to totally enjoy the third period of our life, who knows we might even go into overtime!
