RetireInStyleBlog Writer Profile

Being oldish and retired has turned out to be lots of fun. I love writing about my life and things that I find interesting. As it turns out others are interest in what I have to say. You will find my writing on Retire in Style Blog, It Crossed My Mind Blog and Just Give Me the Facts-b.

Now that boomers are turning 65 and "active retirement lifestyle" is the catch phrase in blog land, I have broadened the scope of my retirement related writing. If it interests me, I assume someone else will want to read. Because I am an educator by trade, I view every article I write as a learning opportunity.

I intend to do this for many more years. I have survived the beginning years of retirement with a husband of 50+ years. Now I feel that my retirement life is on track and the fun has only begun.

I sign my name "b+". I hope you don't mind.
