Originally From: Lansdale, PA
What I've Been Up To: I moved from Plantation, FL to the Armed Forces Retirement Home in Washington, DC after retiring for good in 2012. My health is excellent so I spend most of my time helping other residents (all retired military) such as teaching basic & advanced computer skills, bowling, gardening, golf, card games etc. I can go and come as I please since I live here as a independent resident. I'm updating this input in Fort Lauderdale, FL where I decided to go on a two week vacation.
