Build a Website and an e-Business
If you are looking for an activity to keep you on your toes, I recommend you build a website. It keeps you actively engaged to research your facts, learn the technical process of building a webpage, continue to update to keep it fresh and finally, communicate with your visitors. It is quite a process. To learn more about building a website

Build Your Own Dream House
You may have thought about it for a number of years and you now have the time to finally build your dream house. You could consider the process more like jobs after retirement, but it can be an enjoyable experience to locate the lot you want near the beach, in the mountains or near the trees. You just have to find the right plans for you and your family. Where can you go to do that?
Numerous books on house plans are available. Search Amazon.com or your local bookstore. At chardonnayfarmscountrycottages.com in Texas, you can find plans for German farm houses of guest cottage or country-style living homes that can actually be build in 60 days. The key is that they are constructed in a covered facility on the builder’s location and then moved to your lot where final construction and assembly is completed. This shortens the construction period and improves the quality control over the construction. Great idea that really works.

Other Hobby Ideas
Preserving Family Photos and Videos
There may be some of you that are very much like me in that you have family photos from long ago. You may even have 8mm film and VHS video tapes of birthday, graduations and fun family vacations.
I took color 8mm movies of our kids at the beach feeding the seagulls quite a few years ago. Now that we have grandchildren, I wanted to pass on to them the fun that their mom and uncle had playing on the beach. Years ago, I had them converted to VHS video, but now there are hardly any VHS video players left. So I started one of my new retirement hobbies of converting old photos and movies to DVDs.
I researched a number of the gadgets you can buy to do the conversion and found that I would have to buy several of these, since I have photos and VHS tapes to convert. Then I came across iMemories. I checked it our and liked what I saw. Matter of fact, I went online and placed an order and received a box from iMemories to send in my tapes. Easy!
Best of all the product was great. I suggest you preserve and protect family moments -Transform old photos and videos to digital with iMemories. 20% o. You should know that I am an affiliate and get a small commission should you decide to have them help you in your photo and video conversion. But I would recommend iMemories even if I was not an affiliate. Check their site at the link above and see what you think.
