Hello from Alabama

I'm a recently retired school teacher who is pleased to finally have time to read for pleasure. I've been lucky in the few months since retiring to be able to attend book signings, book fairs, and book festivals. Thanks for allowing me into the group.

Welcome! It sounds like you live in an interesting city to have so many great opportunities. I am glad to hear that your retirement is off to a wonderful start!

Actually where I live is rather boring but I was able to visit another city for a month that afforded many opportunities. Wish I could move there. Alas, I am home now and most of my adventures are through books.

Adventure?

Sometimes truth is stranger (and more entertaining) than fiction. Try some of these:
