There he fished, played cards, supervised gardens, and listened to lots of live music especially the Heel toe Polka played by his granddaughter. Pop loved walking around his new community, always a friendly face, telling stories about the old days. Pop found the secret of a contented life early. He did what he wanted, when he wanted. He didn’t talk about regrets or what should have been, He was happy fishing, hunting, loving the outdoors and his pets (moose, jumpers, rabbits…) playing cards, farming, gardening, mushroom and berry picking, spending time with family and friends, and of course telling stories!
