I turned 76 in September, with no gray hairs (that is,
as long as I can get pretty hair dye in the stores, and
now I volunteer with our local blood bank, going to
different places and doing a fairly strenuous job.

And when I'm home, I can quilt till 3 in the morning,
(I'm a widow) read till I want to go to bed, and still
get up ready for whatever the day brings.

Live life when you have it. Who cares how old you are?
When asked, I tell it all. I may even tell the truth!!

We have a great commercial in CA for one of the HMOs (Kaiser). It shows various seasoned ladies having a blast doing whatever they are doing (dancing, golfing, etc) and the song plays "When I grow up I wanna be an old woman."

i've already grown all the way up, and i still haven't become one. just won't happen, no matter how hard i try. i just can't figure out how (or why) to do it.

Not me tell any one my age. FEB. I will be and a proud 66 was so happy when I turned 65 to get on medicare. Never lied or hedged on it. Still got 32 teeth, Very little gray and wouldn't care if it had a lot. But makes some of my family jealous cause I don't have much and don't color my hair. LOL
