Age is a funny thing. I know people that are 60 that I look at and think, "Wow, they are OLD." Others that are 95 or 100 and I am certain their chart is wrong, no way they are more than 70.
Trick is to keep your mind alive. Did you know that people that dance regularly are much less likely to get dementia?
I knew a couple that cruised the Danube when he was 98 and she was 95. He was into photography, was pretty good too. They married in their late 80's, after their spouses died. They were dance partners at the local Elks Lodge. He wanted to tour Europe and wanted her to come along. She did not think it would be appropriate for them to travel together, not being married and all. He married her, took her to Europe, New Zealand, Australia and South America.
Her daughter did not approve, thought he was after her money. Ended up getting power of attorney over the little old lady and moved Estelle to Santa Barbara. Bill stayed in Sacramento, died within 6 months, the life just went out of him, died at 101. Makes me cry just thinking about it.
I swear if I ever see that daughter I will gut shoot her evil ass so she can get to Hell a little bit sooner.
