Rene’s 1st blog in her new life in retirement!

Ben and I winning!

Scott and I doing some shopping!

I thought it would be fun to do a blog in my retirement – just something to stay in touch. If you know me, I’m not an active Social media person. I only have an Instagram account and that’s so I can follow our sons band, Baby Birds and family members who post pictures. I have never posted on social media (with the exception of ‘liking’ something) so I’m not sure why I think this will be interesting? We shall see….

My first week of retirement consisted of sleeping in – no alarm clock. Then OFF to Vegas with our sons. Both our sons live in Seattle and we decided the best way to kick off my retirement would be to meet them for a fun trip. Twist my arm, I love Vegas. 

The first question is always "What shows did you see?" – Nada. We spent the whole time eating, shopping, drinking and, of course, gambling. I highly recommend a retirement celebration trip before you start the ‘new’ life and routine.

My future posts will include audio book recommendations – I get asked a lot for suggestions so I’ll put them here.
