On of my former colleagues is truly "young at heart!"
This man who directed our school plays, built sets, and now retired has time to continue to paint, write essays and poetry, volunteer for Habitat and Unity Church, bird watch with his wife, and travel.
In addition he sets up in his back yard, his trains running through villages and towns in his backyard during the summer months. He has invited friends, family, neighbors, church members and childen to come see and enjoy the whole set-up, which I did last Sunday.
Come back tomorrow and I will show your more parts of the railroad landscape.
That looks great! I'll be back tomorrow for more!
ReplyDeleteI used to work with a fellow who was a miniature railroad builder. He retired so I bet he's doing that full time now. Great fun!
ReplyDeleteThis is a man who doesn't have time to be bored with life Kate, he's fabulous!
ReplyDeleteAn interesting hobby!
ReplyDeleteI met a few people out in Oregon who love doing this kind of thing. Railroads are their hobby and love. It is very popular.
ReplyDeleteMy cousin's husband does this sort of thing. It's quite a hobby to get in on!
ReplyDeleteThis can be a real passion. There's an amazing train setup at the Washington State Museum that's run by volunteers. It's big and detailed and really fascinating.
ReplyDeleteMen and trains, always a good comnination.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it great that he finds so many things to do?
ReplyDeleteThe man keeps busy. And he has quite a train set-up.
