....and all I can think of is Nora Batty armed with her broom spending her days keeping the front steps neat and tidy. As far as retired female role models go, Golden Girl, I am not, but Nora I think I can manage. I need a pinny.
Here in the USA if you are not young, beautiful or a vampire you either don't count or are made fun of on a reality show. All the conceptions I have about growing old have come from watching that show. The characters give me hope that life goes on no matter how old you may be. Bless them all.
Congratulations!! I retired just over a month ago and you're right there are no role models. We'll have to do as we've always done, make it up as we go along! Enjoy!!
OMG, this is sooo funny! I have a photo of Nora as one of my FB profile pix. Love her so much! You know she died a year or so ago? Great great lady.
