There is no more to it other than they are all out-and-abouts and I never have been. I'm the "odd one". I let my hair go white and my mother, 75, still has hers colored. We're the barefoot family and everyone else wears shoes. I used to do crafts with my kids and my mother thought I should be cleaning my house.
Gosh, you sound like me. I am barefoot all of the time, I let my hair go grey while my mother would never have thought to do that. (I really like it) and I clean my house once a week (kind of), the rest of the time is sewing or writing or painting until spring and then it is planting my garden.
One sister has a camp in ME and my mother and other sister and their friends always go up. To me, hanging around talking about the same old thing and eating and drinking all weekend is not fun, I'd rather be sewing or working in the yard or doing something productive. I like to relax too, but not like that.
That's all. :)
