Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | WOW ! awesome ! That's a cool trip ...I'd love to do that... My 78 year old parents are getting ready to drive 2000 miles back east and live on the beach for 2 months - NO running water - and you have to walk a long way to the can....but. They are still in the STATES so it's not as adventureous as yours ! |

| That is great! I hope I am still having that kind of fun when I am their age! My Foster Mom is 90 and she still goes on all those senior trips with her group...it is like Camp for Seniors! She has been widowed 3 times, still raises a garden and puts up her veggies for the winter. She even raises chickens and gathers her own eggs...AND lives alone! She has worked hard all her life...I think that is her secret...she never sat down and took it easy!

Our Blessings R Many Donating Member | That is great they have the health to enjoy going and doing, there is much truth to the saying "age is only a number" My grandmother lived to be 100 and she did great, she was always active and I think that helps. |

| Thanks so much ..They are such good story people ..filled with hope and inspiration they met 8 yrs ago she being a single mom of 6 boys for over 35 yrs and he was a widowed man who had been married for 45 yrs no kids ..wife died of breast cancer ,they have been married for 6 yrs now ..its a true loving story ..Makes you see that you never have to be hopeless and things can come along even in the most unlikely timing ...trick is to be open to it .
