What comes to mind when we think about October? Cooler days, planting mums, pumpkin everything. As I was reviewing my calendar for the week, it came to my mind that the year is three quarters over. Those plans to run another race and get back to online French lessons are awaiting a first step. To save face, I can recast them as future plans for a time when things are less busy. Ha! And then I got to thinking that as active adults in a retirement community, in all reality, our lives are three quarters over. No wonder that I want to pack in as much as possible for the remainder. Perhaps that’s why my bigger plans sit on the back burner while I spend my days trying to be productive and doing enjoyable things in the present.
At Robson Ranch, there is always something to do most every day on every level; physical, creative, educational and social. Daily activities can include horseshoes, water volleyball, Tai Chi, table tennis, woodworking, pottery, painting, informative lectures through UNT, bridge, pinochle and poker games, to name just a few. Robson Ranch residents also work on big projects as well that benefit those in need.
