aging
We bought over 4 years ago, at 55, but rented our villa out as not retired yet. Moving down as snowbirds this fall. We are now 59 (about to be 60) and 60. How did that happen???!!! Sixty! Either way you look at it (60 or sixty), it's getting up there. Don't feel like the babies on the block anymore, because guess what, we're not. It happens.
Remember when people used to say to you, "Oh, you don't look old enough to be retired," or "How is it possible you have children old enough to be parents themselves?" Is there some service we can sign up for to pay someone to keep saying that stuff?
But you know what? Most old people (like us, and most of the rest of the residents in TV) have hopefully mellowed, relaxed a little about life and its events, and have become nicer people. And Gracie and others are correct, age is but a number.
