HOBBIES

All my life I enjoyed reading and always wished I had more time to read. And now that I’m retired and can read to my heart’s content, I have found a new way to devour even more books than I ever dreamed I could. I discovered books on tape. Instead of reading only while I sit in a comfortable chair or lie in bed, I can listen to books while I’m taking a shower, washing dishes, eating breakfast, lunch or dinner, etc., etc., etc. It's great. In addition, I am never lonely, I always feel like someone is with me and reading me an interesting story.

It’s a wonderful hobby and since I live alone, I can listen whenever I want and as often as I want. As a result I finish about three or four books a week for a total of almost 200 books a year. And the best part is that I can turn on my computer, open the library’s website, select all the books I want to read, and then just pick them up at the library. What could be better?

Thus, I thoroughly enjoy my retirement with my two favorite hobbies – reading many, many books and working on www.FunnyPhotosContest.com for cute or funny photos and photo captions.
