Quote of the Day

The quote above reminded me of my parents. My Dad is 91 now, and my Mom is 89. My Mom still drives, (my Dad gave up his license at 89 due to vision), and they both work together to clean their house. I’ve asked them recently why they don’t get on a maid service plan, and they have said, that as long as they are able to do things, they will, that it keeps them active! They also get out and walk around their neighborhood together to stay active. My Dad has a computer, and trades stocks online, and checks up on the stock market online everyday!
