Retirees' Fun Activity

Some people said, it is boring when you retired. I think, it is when you are not involve in any fun activity once in a while. There was an amazing place I went last night with my hubby where most people in there were older. I could see only very few people ages below fifty most of them were like 60 to 70 years old men and women. They are enjoying themselves dancing with the music made by some old folks also who played musical instruments. I said,, WOW!! This is a good place to go when I retire.. hahahaha...

I could see the happy faces of the old and few young men who played different kinds of string instruments. Guitar, banjo, base, violin, mandolin and dub roe. These men also alternate in singing with the accompaniment of the string instruments. Oh!! it was really fun. I was just amazed watching the old men and ladies who keep on dancing to the tempo of the music. They have different steps that go with the different tempo. They sway their bodies here and there with their complicated steps.. hahaha.. sometimes those old ladies look funny when they can't
go with the flow. It seems they were enjoying it. Their shoes has metal that make sounds every step they make.. hahahah... It's so noisy in the area where they had that gathering.

The place was an old barn but it is wide and can accommodate around 50 people or more. There was a lady in the string band who played different instruments. Oh wow!! she was the only lady in the group. Actually, these players come from different areas in the neighboring places. They don't have practice or anything like that.. nope.. whoever can play musical instruments is welcome to join. They were really good musicians because they just can go along whatever is the music they could think of playing. Wow!!

That was really a good place for fun!!! of course for young and old but all I have seen there are retirees. Their music also are for their age.. hahahha.. country music, folk song style. But I enjoyed watching them.
