What Will She Do?

Well, this is a new step I'm taking! I've just retired after 38 years as a high school librarian. So far this has just felt like the beginning of any other summer vacation -- just relaxing, reading, running errands and so on. But this morning I officially felt like a "retiree" when I joined our group of other retirees for the monthly breakfast in town. There were five of us who joined the ranks just this year (although only two of us made it to breakfast today), so the group is growing by leaps and bounds. At our end of the long table, we talked about traveling and national parks (see what JPDave said about the topics at the other end of the table).

In the spring issue of our library newsletter, the other librarian and our assistant surprised me with an article titled "What Will She Do?" Since my plans for retirement were somewhat vague, they came up with some ideas for me -- hike the Appalachian Mountain Trail...get into the Guinness Book of World Records...learn to fly...build an igloo...run for president...hunt for Sasquatch...visit a library in all of the 50 states...join the cast of Spamalot...become tri-lingual -- in all, a list of 27 things that I should have started on 38 years ago! But, there is one that I can do now. So, Pam and Casey, I accept your challenge to start a blog!!
