Welcome to Fun Loving Life! I’m Dee Dee, author of Fun Loving Life, and I’m so happy you are here!

I’m in my early 50’s and recently retired from a 25+ year career to focus on what I enjoy – living a fun-loving life and helping others do the same.  I love to travel, cook, write, and enjoy being outdoors. Along with spending time with family and friends, these are the things that make me the happiest. 

I love sharing my adventures, ideas, and mishaps… and I want my posts and stories to inspire others and provide ideas to also live a fun loving life. Whether it’s taking an epic trip, or simply cooking dinner for two, each day has moments worth celebrating and appreciating. 

As a recent retiree starting a new path in life, I feel like I’m see the world as a kid again – everything is exciting and there are so many opportunities to explore and try new things!  Over the years I have learned to focus on what brings me joy. And when things don’t go as planned, I have mastered the ability to make the most of any situation and find humor and happiness! 

Friends are the family we choose for ourselves!

My family and friends are the most important things in my life. My husband, Frank, and I divide our time between our homes in Gilbert and Bisbee, Arizona. Copper, our adventurous Golden Retriever, loves to explore with us. We have a wonderful, brilliant son, Logan, who is in college studying Electrical Engineering and Mathematics. And we have a fantastic circle of friends who are truly our extended family!

Since retiring, I have focused on cooking, retirement travel, and writing. I’ve really enjoyed writing again and even recently won my first writing contest! I’m truly appreciating and enjoying every day.

I’m so fortunate to have found my purpose and am excited to follow my passions in retirement. Thank you to my family and friends for all of their support and encouragement!
