Getting the hang of being a snowbird

We've been out of the motorhome a few days now, in the house once more, and we're getting the hang of being a retired snowbird. It took us a couple days to empty the motorhome and high-grade clothes and other stuff we had along for the ride. We've sorted the stuff and made a trip to the Goodwill store. Rick has done almost all the outside yard work (mostly digging up dead plants that we knew wouldn't make it without water), and I've tried to take care of the inside of the house. I've done laundry and now we're starting to put stuff back in the motorhome. I love going over to the storage area and visiting our mobile fishing lodge, but 'she' seems like a boat out of water sitting all closed up, empty, and without us. In dry dock and with temps at 95! But the moho looks so good! It's fun deciding now what we will be taking with us on the next trip.

What I meant when I said we're getting the hang of being a retired snowbird is that we've jumped in, with both feet, not into a river, but into the clubs and activities of our retirement resort community. We've checked out the wood shop, arts & crafts club, stitchery club, wood carvers club, AND the pickle ball club. We've had about 2 hours of beginner level pickle ball lessons and we both love it! Not only is the sport fun, but the group is a fun-loving group of active people.

These are only a small fraction of the available clubs and activities we have to choose from. Just about any type of activities are offered and could keep us busy all day, every day. You name it and it's here. When we retired the first time years ago we participated in all the fun stuff and now we have the opportunity to do it again. Hmmmm... How about painting class, quilting, genealogy, ceramics, stained glass, golf, shuffleboard, billiards, dancing of all types, bowling, water exercise, bingo, card games of all sorts, and there's even a computer club if we missed working. They already asked us if we could come by and teach. Hmmmmm...
