I know you ladies can help! TIA!

    How about finding/joining a book club?

    What about an exercise class or club? She could take up rock climbing, join a running group, go to yoga classes, etc. My best friend is a military wife and she spent a lot of time while her husband was deployed working out so she could look as good as her DH when he came back (I guess the soldiers spend a lot of time working out when they are deployed because he looked great when he came home!) She also did some volunteer work on the base - I bet your sister can find some activities through the VA if she's not near a base.

    Yoga or exercise classes are always good.

    I would get a seasonal mall job if I had that kind of free time.

    other options:

    take an online class in something with no commercial value (world history?  modern poetry?)

    start being one of those people who edits wikipedia entries and enters on-line product reviews.

    learn a language.

    declutter.

    do every day's crossword puzzle.

    I would probably get a fun part-time job... keeps you busy and keeps you from spending money! :)

    Or, I would work out.

    I'd also waste a LOT more time on the Internet. And read more books. And my house would be clean.

    Hmm... suddenly this turned into what I would do with a bunch of free time. Sorry. :)?
