I’m living and working in Memphis, TN and I’m a Realtor.  I don’t expect retirement to be a part of my life in the near future....but, no complaining from me!  I like my work and am able to juggle my business so I can actually have the best of both worlds today!

Hi Dee, I have retired after 35 years in the casualty insurance claims
industry and I am loving it! We bought our retirement home last year
in the Ozarks north of Mountain Home, Arkansas. We plan to travel
some, fish some, and just get to know the people in our community. 
My husband has joined the volunteer fire department and I am performing with the Fire Belles which is a singing comedy group that 
entertains at various functions in the area. I am also a member 
of the Red Hat Society which does nothing but have fun! 
I would love to hear from other retirees.
