with a few of their seniors.

Thanks Jess!...of course I would have wanted to do Scarlett. :)
Love it!
What an inspiration.
I recently turned 55 and now officially qualify for the senior discounts. Ha.
One thing I've done recently which has brought me much fun and, dare I say, vision...is that I joined the YWCA mainly for water exercise class(es) to hopefully help with my health issues. I am usually the youngest at class; most folks are in their 70s and one is almost 90.
The group is such fun to be with - encouraging and active in spite, of ailments and set-backs.
I look forward to every class visit...which makes the exercise that much easier.
Along with the benefits of the exercise, I've been given another peek into my years ahead (good lord willin' and the creek don't rise).
Win-win. :-)
Thanks for sharing these Anna!
Carol, I like to swim too...I think it is the best form of exercise, especially as you get older an don't need high impact.
An old junior high boyfriend emailed and asked which movie star I would like to portray in a calendar and I replied, "Why Scarlett O'Hara of course. He wasn't surprised. :)
:D
You'd make a great Scarlett!
