Normal in the Desert Trails world is a very busy, very fun life. John and I manage to get in exercise most days. Biking group is on Monday. Exercise class is Tuesday, Wednesday, Saturday. A hike in the desert is about 20 steps out the door and there is almost always someone to walk and talk with. The park has a couple dances every month and for us oldies that can be serious exercise. Our part time job takes up several hours per week. But that still leaves lots of time for scrabble, writers group, travel club, and exploring Tucson and the area. This year was a great year for movies so we have been working our way through the award nominations.
We have fun circle of friends and laugh about trying to get our calendars coordinated to go out to eat or play some cards or explore. Like most retirees we don't know how we had time to work. I am looking forward to some volunteering. My friend Kirsten and I just signed up to work at the Festival of Books again this year. If anyone is thinking about visiting Tucson, keep March 9 and 10 in mind. The festival is great for all ages. There are usually around 300 authors attending and some are very well known. We are volunteering in Science City this year, an area that we didn't spend much time last year. Should be interesting.
You might be surprised at the weather we are having right now. The next several days are expected to be in the 40s for highs and mid-20s for lows. Almost like the north country but here the sun shines and somehow that makes a huge difference. If you bundle up and the wind isn't blowing a hike is great. We are a little too wimpy for biking in 40 degrees but that is our problem isn't it. And the sunsets are just as beautiful when the weather is cold.
LIFE IS GOOD!
