OLD Ladies ROCK - A Bike Story and Aging 

Well, I'm going to have to face the fact; I'M OLD. I have gone kicking and screaming (and Laughing) into middle age but yesterday

was the end all of end all.

We volunteered at a Triathlon in Des Moines, IA, it's the swim, bike, run thing and we were bike marshall's and I loved it. Have a chair and cheer the riders on. I loved it, until....

As we (Sister-in-law #2) cheered on, one of the female riders said,

"OLD LADIES ROCK"

I haven't stopped laughing yet.

I know I (we) maybe not be riding, swimmer or running in spandex,

I know the hair maybe a bit gray, but an OLD lady. How to Survive Retirement and be Happy

I know at the age of 20, 51 is old, but please, OLD. Neither one of us have a cane, a walker or knit, well, I do quilt? Anyway, I'm claiming my 50's ! I thought the 50's, are the new 30's. Will someone please tell, the 20 year old this !

Anyway here's some pictures of the day,

This Old Lady Rocks,

Need to KNOWS before Retirement

Are you thinking about retirement ? 
Or already retired?

You have to find fun, excitement, and joy in your days. 40 years to achieve the retirement goal, and you are not happy, you don’t know what to do all day? YOU need a plan. 

Husband and I retired early, he was 57, and I was 55. Most people hear us say our ages and they ask, “What do you do all day?” VERY, very rarely do they ask, “How do you afford it?” This book has NO money talk, it's all about happiness.   Now in Print and eBook  ! !  To me that is hilarious: before retirement you plan financially, you plan the date, but you don’t take time to figure out what you want to do for 20-30 years of retirement. I have seen it now for five years. How to Survive Retirement 

Everyone thinks that you magically know how to retire. YOU DON’T but my book will help you think through what you need and what you want for YOUR life. No money talk, this is all ideas to make your 20-30 years of retirement what you want and need it to be for years of joy. Retirement is talked about just as going off to college is.

PLEASE retire happy! “If you are unhappy….us other old people don’t want to be around you.”
