Anytime someone asks my age, I actually have to think about it and count down from my oldest sister because in my mind, I feel like l did 30 years ago. I however have no shame in proclaiming my 54 years of age :-)Kemkemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05678824208901821085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7011248318265372337.post-11323518517006385322019-03-25T06:13:45.503-07:002019-03-25T06:13:45.503-07:00I think regardless of where we live we go through ...I think regardless of where we live we go through similar things in life. Ageing...and all that comes with it is one. I know I don't get enough exercise, but I do love to travel, and as much as I dream of a "stone house on the hill" I don't think I can take that plunge. But I love reading about those who do! Have a great week! I hope you have got through the paperwork and appointments. And thank you for your visit last week. Happy travels!

My husband (62) is older than I am but far more physically fit, which may have to do with the tennis and/or soccer he plays 4-5 times a week, and the fact that I don't do more than just walking. The idea of not traveling because you might get hurt just makes no sense to me! If anything, traveling keeps me healthy because I do a lot more walking when I'm sightseeing than when I'm at home. I also don't get why people keep telling me I'm so "brave" to travel so much. It's no more risky than being here at home, and older people should not be pressured to stop!Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04007829771906440912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7011248318265372337.post-35873192496085592342019-03-22T06:26:57.618-07:002019-03-22T06:26:57.618-07:00oops...I missed the "am I too old"...

It's not hard to imagine that the same views you enjoy now were seen centuries ago by the inhabitants of the region. *Timeless* is the perfect word to describe the landscapes and perhaps ageless is the best way to describe the mindset of the growing number of boomers who ignore the constraints of a conventional retirement and choose to live their lives with enthusiasm and gusto! Anita P.S. From reading the comments you received, I have to admit that I was glad I wasn't the only one who wondered about passing the memory test! 😄Anita @ NoParticularPlaceToGohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14704807316472380660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7011248318265372337.post-40171482245851173752019-03-19T09:34:03.588-07:002019-03-19T09:34:03.588-07:00It is interesting to hear others' points of vi...It is interesting to hear others' points of view isn't it?
