Jonne Mintern lives in a small village in Northeastern Ontario. Until a few years ago, she worked as a software engineer for companies that built custom hardware equipment for aerospace, manufacturing and entertainment applications. It was great fun and retiring was a tough decision. There were other things that she wanted to pursue. The bucket list was growing and working life was getting in the way. More time was needed for piano, painting, curling, motorcycling and a long list of other interests.
Retirement has helped reduce the length of that bucket list. Jonne still finds that there isn't enough time for everything. There just aren't enough hours in a day! Still, she does manage to set aside some time to relax with a photo from a recent trip and a new canvas.
