e. I have mentored other directors during my latter years and since retiring. Also, I have been a volunteer for the Pasadena City Hall and an Adult Literacy Tutor through the Pasadena Reads program. I'm currently homeschooling two grandsons one day a week while my daughter works, and I visit the retirement homes and shut-ins of my church one day a week. The elderly are very much like the preschoolers in their needs and expectations. I also am taking a course in writing children's literature. It is a goal I have had for some time. I also enjoy gourmet cooking and gardening since I no longer have a work schedule. My retired life is much more relaxed than the days of parenting and working at a full time job, but I am still learning and growing.
