The Prince Edward Womens' Institute made many of these for table centres, and I was given 2 of them after the meeting.
When you retire, there are so many organizations that you can join, and activities you can engage in.
You can travel - by foot, bicycle, car, scooter, plane etc - even by motorcycle but read an earlier blog on statistics & more info' first, please.
You can stay home and take up a hobby. You can write, paint, take up a musical intrument or dance. You can play computer games or watch TV.
The Womens' Institute in particular, like the Masons which my Grandfather belonged to, has a chapter in every town across the nation, and even uses their power to lobby the government for issues they deem important, like the white line on the highways.
This is one group I might consider myself.
Old age may not be for sissies but it IS,
as Browning said of Ulysses,
and as I dearly hope it is for everyone,
to enjoy 'Life to the Lees'.
