"Elderly" is a moving target! When I was 16 I knew my 62 old grandmother was elderly and old. When I was 50 I was sure that 80 was elderly because I don't think I knew anyone in the family who was 80. Well, I am 80 this year and I think elderly is a notch or two down the road. My husband is 79. We live each day to the utmost as we have hobbies that occupy us a lot (I quilt and sew and he builds model railroads), we both read a lot and keep up on current events. We are physically active. I still walk a couple of miles every day. We are careful of our weight and diet. We both have some health issues that come in later years. We are active in our church and community. Days are always full and ever too short. We love life. So, I guess, for us, elderly is still further down the road. Aren't we blessed!
