AARP Rewards Community Learning & Earning Contest August 2022

I enjoy and keeps my brain active is singing karaoke. I try to memorize the words, even though they are in front of me, if I get stuck, I made friends in the bar and I dont have to drink, can make any drink a virgin (no alcohol), I usually get a virgin Bloody Mary.

I keep my brain sharp playing games, do quizzes

and memorizing things.

I write every day. It might be poetry, a letter to the editor, awork on a short story, a letter or email to a friend, a response to a news media article, or whatever else catches my attention.

My apologies to Cheryl. Apparently, I responded to her rather than post my OWN activity! So, I guess learning more about computers SHOULD be on my TO-DO list!!  What I said was that woodworking has always been a hobby I never had enough time for. But now, in retirement, I can keep myself, and my chisels, sharp by spending time in my shop. 

I love puzzles. Crosswords, sudukos, ken kens and the like.

during the spring summer and fall I keep my brain active by golfing 4 to 5 times a week plus it also keeps me mobile and I also like 2 games that I play on a daily basis Mahjong and Charm King which I'm proud to say I'm at level 6024 as of today .. 8/20/22 during the winter months I go back into the gym for the exercise but also for the social environment that my gym offers by working out and talking with friends that I've met there  

I’m in the process of relocating to one of AARP’s livable communities!  In the new community I am learning to play Pickle Ball.  I love that the action helps keep my bones healthy while the scoring method means I always have to keep track of points for both my team and the other team.  It’s a mind/body juggling act!!

I play a few games with friends and my cousins. I have been working on a 3,000 pc jigsaw puzzle!  Almost done!! I did do crosswords but stopped getting newspaper when pandemic started. Now just once in a while. I have online games I like and play!!  I excercise my brain!!  Marie

I’ve taken on a new role in one of my clubs. It’ll be a bit of a challenge for me but I know I can benefit from it. 

I regularly solve Sudoku puzzles and am taking classical guitar lessons.
