could do all the homemaking i want to drape great great so when it was time for you to so now you retired at what age seventy three seventy three so what you do you plan for that where you are ready for it were you looking forward to it where you were anxious about it well i was i don't think i was anxious about it but when the time came i knew with the time because people would ask me when are you going to retire when are you we want to retire and they got to structure  so that i would just tell them i'm not going to be tired and that was your conversation that's a little annoying but it was very good you made because i would be tarred you know collecting a paycheck and social security so i mean i was living the life and i had never really prepare for financially because i was more conservative my younger years about living then like my children always went to private schools i was more concerned about the education were two so they out of the house a lot so i'm the one fan in there and then i have my church were to be there all day sunday and then we have our senior me is on wednesday and then the west the week i could go to hamilton but i don't because i have other things to do so two days a week i go to hamilton and they don't you know they have all taken everything out the and the community because you know you can go in the pool you can play bingo you can you know and the computer room they are will negative that you have to realize being on a bus and being a sing your courage you know sometimes you get a little right yes but the trip was great yeah the trip was great we went to new orleans and we seen all the tours like the what would you call  two granddaughters live with you how is it on your how is it on your family with you being around all the time do they find that they depend on you more now that you're always around because they kind of grew up with you always working like a ten days on in forty days off so how is it now that your life great thing when you get up in the morning you have this to do list and that the top of your to do list is whatever i want to do i love that i love you i can't wait i can't wait so you say you mention how do you know i'm seventy oh  happy right now because it's only you want to come in this way one time right so you always travel you always like to travel are you still interested in traveling and you know are you looking to go out of the country to do more things like that i never was interested in going out a goal in life because i can so so then what do you like what else do you want to do with the rest are in the program sounds nice but what else you want to do with the rest of your you know every day your day to day life well yeah that's what house they expect to see all these right gorgeous flowers and everything but happy said you know like i say a mark on this today was a day that is fun that's a lot of time but i know i don't know where the results because i don't really have a green or somewhere just like we had two friends that we tired one went to george and one went to north carolina and we were very good friends you know and so i think it was year before last one of them had a birthday and we just met in fact is vegas so tell me what else like what else so you were born and raised here yesterday and yes so as far as traveling goes there's no family to go visit or goes along you know where and they're not enough always the what about you know my children you know  cinna children down south never here in by down south where no because my mother was born here ok and my grandmother was born in north carolina but she was here because so that so when we just when i was very young we should go on vacation and everybody you know in the take us down south because of the area you know at the times right right right and so she said she didn't she would never take us down and she would go back to visit but she wouldn't take us so the only time i got to go down south w in my later years when i joined different you baptist church and that was our past the was a traveler and that's when i really got to go all over the south been everywhere we did a lot of travel and a lot of visit and that was good that was good for me because otherwise you know i would even never started rabble i would have just one thing i was scared to drive over bridges so i wasn't going to drive anywhere and then when you had three kids you don't  had a good environment to work now is he retired as well you know what it's a shame but bernie was much younger than me ok but they told me it was two months after i left there bernie had to leave oh no but he had a physical problem  but i talked to him on the phone about once a year on his birthday off but that was ashamed oh yeah so we've come to live to get the right so you said you manage the event and all that stuff have you been back to any events since you've left this is shame  have great open right i was with you mentioned earlier so having such great events well i haven't been back i tell you what i did go back to i had a dream blanks he was one of the deans and he had our four power on wednesday and i did go back to that a couple times more about the event that you put on at princeton university well it was it was like like i say a lot of graduations and you know you had to put up with the children and i learned a lot about you know putting up with disagreeable circumstance bank that was so when you were originally transitioning from working every day to you know being retired was that like a huge adjustment for you or did you just wake up the next day like arms and sit down have a cup of coffee and it was it was not i was  because you know like i say i didn't retire to i was seventy three so i was ready right you know so it wasn't like i know some people retire at sixty two with everything but see they plan to do something else and we had no plan here that i had no plans i like i told you i wasn't quite prepared financially because i'd never been a say were because i want to spend my money on what i thought was important at the time right so so i always had some form rainy day when i would never top of that yes so sometimes if you know if you don't have you don't always have to have the plane and sometimes you know it was made for you made and once was made for me yeah and it seems like you're just enjoying life now retire so what do you think you want to do i want to travel i love to travel ok but i know that i hear it's like i talk to people you know like thank god because i work i'm a designer you know by train so i work with people and they say well you know after i retired i just found myself so bored i just didn't like the routine and you know everybody wants it so it was like trying to find new hobbies a new things to do or are you trying to isolate i mean you know he's like i don't fight with what you people if they think they nothing to life but work it they've got a problem right here right yeah but just because it's all you've got involved you've got is a job because you've got pam in everything you know that you need to communicate with and everything in my family you a companion and then i say you know what you can do more to have a companion just have you some friends or you some friends or maybe a companion will come out that you know you don't have to be lonely and say that in the world because this is not right friends because to me i am not that friendly you know and and we can we do things together and when we do things apart like you know some time we should go to movies and plays together we don't do that no more so we do something else about it when we might not as goes much we want to but i always say that you know be i find it hard to me friends i guess because i'm less trusting of people like you say it's hard for you to make friends it's hard for me to make friends with i don't really trust people you know and you know maybe in a church that's a good place here yeah i mean if you don't have to be overwhelmingly been wonderful talking to you i thank you so much this is our first episode you have been an amazing amazing guests and i hopefully this show is so going into three years three years you'll be eighty right yeah you can tell me all about being skinny
