Do you feel it yet? Maybe it’s too early…but fall’s coming to New England and Laurie Stone from Musings, Rants & Scribbles is happy. Yes, spring is lovely and summer’s fun.

This past week Tom from Sightings Over Sixty has been exploring some of the ways we retirees can take advantage of our free time and go off and do something new and different and a little off the beaten track.

So now he serves up his post How You Know You’re Retired: Second Set to give us some up-close-and-personal views of the event.

Summer hasn’t quite let go….Although summer is unofficially over, warm weather and special events keep the good times rolling in Meryl Baer of Six Decades and Counting’s hometown.
