Never Too Old
After golf yesterday, with my friend, we had lunch together. While eating, a lady at the next table asked my friend if he could move his chair a little so she could get by with her Walker. As she was going by, I smiled and asked her if she was causing trouble! She looked back at me, winked and said that’s what I can do at 95. Then I smiled even bigger.

She needs to put a bell on her walker. Sweet ring.

When I am an old woman I shall wear purple
With a red hat which doesn’t go, and doesn’t suit me. And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves And satin sandals, and say we’ve no money for butter. I shall sit down on the sidewalk when I’m tired And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells And run my stick along the public railings And make up for the sobriety of my youth. I shall go out in my slippers in the rain And pick flowers in other people’s gardens And learn to spit. You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat And eat three pounds of sausages at a go Or only bread and pickle for a week And hoard pens and pencils and beermats and things in boxes. But now we must have clothes that keep us dry And pay our rent and not swear in the street And set a good example for the children. We must have friends to dinner and read the papers. But maybe I ought to practise a little now? So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised When suddenly I am old, and start to wear purple. by Jenny Joseph |

We often see people who are severely debilitated in one way or another and our stock answer is "where else could these people live a good life, other than here in TV". We came from Northern NH and there is no possibility of anyone confined to a walker or wheel chair being able to get out until maybe May! The Villages is truly a life saver, both physically and mentally, for so many people.
