Hobbies for Seniors
We've been in our retirement community for about two months now and my husband is really getting into this whole retirement stuff. He's joined about four clubs to my...zero. He goes out nearly every morning to one or another of his groups...usually one that is connected to making jewelery that I affectionately refer to now as his "rock shop". He comes home and shows me what he's been working on, and even made a few pieces of jewelry for me that are nice enough to wear!

Here are some other ideas about hobbies for seniors that they do here...
Leatherwork
Woodwork
Porcelain Painting
Oil and watercolor Painting
Crafts galore
Gourd Decorating
Quilt making
Rock Hounding
Photography
Pottery
Lapidary
Pickle Ball
Tennis
Golf
Garage sale Hunting...collecting treasures others don't want
Book writing and reading clubs

And that's just a few examples

Our daughter called this morning and asked how we liked living in our "retirement home" and I had to correct her. Sun City is nothing like a retirement home I laughed, and isn't what I expected a retirement community to be like either.

Sooo much to do. I've seen more people out walking and exercising here than in any of the family communities we've lived in when we were younger. More people playing outdoor sports, and even their fair share of seniors in the gym.

Getting involved in activities, exercise and community involvement is very important here, as it is for the health of any senior. Find a great hobby for senior aged people based on your health and get involved.

This blog includes articles I find, and thoughts about aging.

Thanksgiving is behind us and The Christmas Holidays are soon upon us. We want to wish all of our senior friends a Happy Holiday Season, what ever your faith or beliefs, with family and friends.
