My mom had a good time in her retirement. She started tap dancing in her 60s. Even though she hadn't danced before she picked it up so quickly she was moved from the regular class to a member of the Silver Tappers. She she would say they danced for food. :) They would often perform at retirement communities and get lunch for free.
She was also the founding member of her local chapter of The Red Hat Society. I still remember Mom telling me that one of the members had paid to have them officially registered. Mom had come up with the official name for their chapter. They were the V.I.Ps... now that sounds innocent enough... but mom said it stood for "Varicose in Purple!" She laughed and laughed. Yup... they were the Varicose in Purple... and she was the leader. :)
