September 25, 2015 by Marcia Mantell

The drive from Connecticut to Madison, Wisconsin and back is about 2,400 miles, round trip.  With stops along the way, and an overnight in Toledo, Ohio, we’re talking about 40 hours of togetherness in a car.  On such a road trip, it's impossible to think about retirement and the opportunity for endless possibilities.

What’s Cookin’?

If your kitchen is anything like mine, it’s the place everyone gathers to talk about their day, share special moments, and ask important questions. And to see what’s cooking.

Look for an invitation to join me at my kitchen table where retirement is always on the menu.

More coming soon…
