After Robbie retired from the railroad, the Robinsons moved to Elkhart, Kansas in 1981.  Rose jumped right into her new community and church.  Rose worked as a sports writer for the Elkhart Tri-State News, following the Elkhart Dusters baseball team, and also wrote "Ramblings by Rose" column for the Guymon Daily Herald.  She discovered her love of painting and as a gifted artist, she helped paint the murals at the Morton County Museum. Rose enjoyed the outdoors, traveling with the Point Rock Campers.  She loved to dance and enjoyed her Red Hat Group.  Rose was a committed Christian and faithfully attended church wherever she was living.
