Yup, I spend a lot of my week watching both of my grandkids so my daughter and her husband don't have to use childcare. It is the best part of retirement for me. I would give up everything else I do before I would give watching the kids.
Today is not a grandkid watching day for me, yesterday was. My day will be as follows:
Got up at 6am today
drinking my coffee hanging out with the dogs
will join the Thursday club ride at 9am. If it is true to form it will be hard with 3K'-5K' of climbing with a few other old guys like me, will get back at 1 or 2
will spend the afternoon in the garage getting the motorcycle ready for a trip to Death Valley next week
after dinner with my wife will go see the grankids
will play guitar all evening
I enjoyed working......But, I love my life now
