Have No Fear, Activities Are Here! |
|
For some people, the thought of retirement
actually induces fear. That is because they have been working long hours
for so many years and have become accustomed to meeting their daily
responsibilities by spending most of their lives bringing home the
paycheck. The thought of "What will I do with myself all day without
working?" comes to mind. For those who are in some type of supervisory
position, many feel that retirement means they are no longer needed when
they lose that authority over others.

Billy's Café opened in September 2004, and serves breakfast and lunch
seven days a week from 6:30 AMĐ2:30 PM. On Sundays, breakfast is served
all day during those hours.

well as eggs prepared to order, muffins and cereal are also available.
There is surely something to please every appetite. My spouse opted for
cherry-filled crepes and I chose steak and eggs, one of the day's
specials. Everything is prepared from scratch on the premises.

Royal Harbor's Hillbilly Band |
|
For those of you who think that the Big Band era is a thing of the past,
guess again! There is a new 18-member band that was formed earlier this
year, and it is catching the attention of Royal Harbor residents.
It was only last May when Jane Woodruf, a resident of the community, got
together with five other residents in the main room of the Recreation
Center and decided to form a hillbilly band. Jane was inspired to form
the group after seeing some of the hillbilly instruments on a steamboat
cruise. They publicized their intentions, and as a result, the hillbilly
band, called the Swamp Stompers, bring out their "instruments" and play
their favorite old time music.
