Day One

Hello world!

I'm Tobi, a woman who will be 58, next Tuesday, July first.
And I must add that I am lucky enough to have a husband, of 37 years; to enjoy this second half of life's journey, although many will say we are way past halfway!
Anyone have any ideas how to enjoy this time in our lives?

Life to this point has been a roller coaster ride, and I have never ever put on the brakes.

We are retired on a limited set income with health issues, but do enjoy family, reading, fishing, gardening, and trying to stay fit. I have volunteered for many organizations over the years, and enjoy writing, and have been published sparingly here and there.

Fortunately, we do live in Florida where the sun does shine most of the time barring any sudden showers, or heaven forbid, hurricanes.

We have two adult, single sons. Who live two hours away in either direction, and are independent capable men. A Bichon Frise four years old named Skipper, a domestic long haired cat of 12, named Casey, and a 29 year-old Cockatiel named Charley.

I have MS and arthritis, and today, I have hip pain from bursitis. Other than that I am just peachy keen!

This week I have discovered an author that I had not yet read, Nancy Pickard...how I do love female mystery writers from Florida. And male authors too that write using our state as a backdrop, Randy Wayne White, James Hall; are two that come to mind. Not to say that I don't read male authors that are not from here, Robin Cook, James Patterson, and Michael Crichton to name a few... actually all of them do live here part of the time.

First day!
Went well I think.
Hope to hear from you with positive intelligent feedback.
