Reading   learning Spanish with Duolingo   AARP quizzes and games   babysitting a 3 year old, her 1 year old brother and 1.5 year old cousin   AARP articles   gardening   Wordle

I do word searches.

I read, play sudoku, my hands shake so I color, I do crossword puzzles, do jigsaw puzzles, go to Silver Sneakers classes 4 days a week, I do yoga 2 days a week, walk the dog in parks and at the beach and read the AARP articles on just about everything.

I do crosswords, sudoku, wordle, Worldle, quordle, and vaious other games.  

A daily 2 mile walk followed by several hours of forensic accounting interspersed with a few breaks for tackling Cryptic crossword puzzles (the British ones are tough!) & lots of reading keeps me occupied, healthy & happy.

I am editor so reading my manuscripts not only keeps my brain active but I am also always learning.  I also love reading novels and discussing them with my book club.  And I also go to the gym 3-4 days a week. 

In my retirement years I have been busy volunteering with many different organizations where I live in  Fort Collins, CO. Some of which are the local library, the art museum, United Way, the Poudre River events, walks for the homeless and many others.  I also walk between 5-10 miles a day and bike ride.  I feel as vibrant and youthful as I did in my 30's. At home, I enjoy reading and doing arts and crafts activities and online courses.

My wife and I both read lots and read with our grandchildren. We watch and discuss science documentaries, and love doing science projects with everyday objects when the grandchildren visit on weekends!

I take a 4 mile walk in my neighborhood almost every day and listen to free audio books from my library.  I like complicated Nordic mysteries to keep my listening skills challenged.

I work full time and play tennis, which is physical,mental and social all at the same time.
