DH has a jonboat, and I don't even think I am ever getting in it !LOL But he wants a bass boat before he retires one day, then he tells me with the price of gas-he thinks he will learn how to quilt when he retires !LOL well we shall see what happens when that day comes along !LOL

Learn to fish if that interests you. Otherwise I would suggest something like the arrangement my DH and I have. If he doesn't make me ice fish, I won't make him knit socks! Works great!

good for him.

You can fish all you want in AR! Hope you enjoy. I grew up sailing and fishing in AR and am now enjoying not being on the water. I would rather sew!

Or a battery! A featherweight is the best way to go, light durable and oh so cute!

Retirement of a spouse can be fun or NOT! For my DH and I it was a period of adjustment. All of a sudden there were so many things that I had been doing as long as we had been married that he could do so much better. I said go for it and he did and he was right! I still keep track of the finances but he pays all the bills online. I still cook but he periodically will cook too. He helps clean and "tinkers" with the cars. The best part of his retirement is that he looks so much better. For a long time, his stress levels were astronomical because his lab was undergoing renovation and upgrading and he was in charge. After that was finished, he announced that the lab would function on its own with all the updating and he was leaving. I did not believe it, but when 65 rolled around...he did! The blue pockets under his eyes are gone. His color is rosy and not pasty. His energy levels are high and he is much more agreeable to have around. The guy I married 31 years ago is back. Another joy is that he was offered his job (on a part time basis with full pay) and he said no that he was happy at home "tinkering." Enjoy your DH's retirement and try to remember that now you are retired too. Have fun!

Oh you are so going to love it.. we bought our boat as a gift to each other for our 25th anniversary..rather then a party. We knew we would make more memories with the boat, rather then a party. We had a older boat when our kids were smaller..now our son has our old one.
