AARP Rewards Community Learning & Earning Contest August 2022

When we travel to other countries, I always learn a few words that I can use just to be courteous to that culture. I m excited that we will be going to Hawáiʻi so I decided to learn Hawaiian and I’m enjoying it so much that I am continuing to learn and speak the language. We also like using public transportation. There is no better way to feel like a local and meet new people.

I walk, play my flute quilt and work in my garden to keep my mind and body active.

Daily Bible reading, prayer, singing, playing piano, sewing, quilting, and try to get my 10,000 steps in each day.  I also keep track of every penny we spend, keep it categorized in a spreadsheet, do pivot tables, charts and dashboards as well as budget. This way I can see how much spending is done in each category from year to year and know exactly where we spent the money. We can also look back to see when we purchased a particular item and how much we paid for it. Love it.

I keep my brain active by taking memory classes and staying around young people that keep you looking for answers to every question that ask. and they will challenge you on every answer, so you have to stay up to date on everything.

I pray daily and homeschool my daughter who is in grade 12, I've taught all 3 of my children for a total of 20 years now! I also enjoy doing surveys and playing puzzle games and hunt for deals on everything especially freebies. I walk outside every morning to start the day with exercise and fresh air and it gives my mood a lift too 😊

I keep my brain active by picking birthdays, high.school and college graduation dates on license plates when riding in a car. Like: kde3471. 3 birthday, 41 year my husband was born and 17 year my grandson was born. Just immediate family members. 

I keep my brain active by reading extensively, playing games such as sudoku, doing in depth Bible study, and now I’m attempting to learn to read Hebrew. 

It's always been a dream of mine to play the piano.   I'm taking lessons and diligently practicing and progressing.   This provides so much joy of accomplishment and new learning. 

I keep my brain active by playing aarp games, reading and doing needlepoint, counted cross stitch and embroidery 

I play wordle and watch jeopardy.   I like to read articles about medical findings.  I also like to learn languages.  I walk twice around the mall with 2 friends 4 days a week.  I watch travel documentaries on PBS.  I also play Sudoku! I also like to try new recipes.
