I read this little snippet in an article about places where people live to be really, really old. I hope this is us....hobbling over to check to see if the other one has fallen down. haha! I like that! These women are over 100! Holy Mackeral, we've got lots of time for more fun ....
"Even at age 100, they're all getting together in their moai ... at 5 o'clock every day. They sit around, they drink a couple glasses of sake, they gossip, they talk about sex. If one doesn't show up to the afternoon gathering, the other four sort of hobble over to see if she's fallen down or if she needs help," Buettner said.
Women in Okinawa also tend to be spiritual leaders, which imbues them with a sense of purpose, or "ikigai," Buettner said."
Rosetta's got the right idea!
I think Nancy's discovered the benefit of MOAI also.....
Terry is especially delighted to be part of a MOAI....
Just Fun Stuff.....
And the winners are......
Beating the Winter Blahs.....
A WHOLE lot of silliness......
This is weird to have in this group of photos, but this is the photo I started with and I don't want to leave it out.....besides, I don't know how....
That's me, leaping into the future. No really, I went to Grounds for Sculpture with Anna and she had this bright idea to leap out under the Tori Gate Sculpture. I think it might be a sacreligious, I don't know, but when your 18 year old decides to have some fun, well, I just go along and enjoy that ride. I took a picture of her....got it right the VERY FIRST TIME. But, well, Anna's not used to my camera.....or maybe it has to do with my "hang" time. This is like, my 8th attempt at leaping (just ONE more time!), I finally made it into 'what's next' with my feet off the ground.......

I did this once before and it didn't work, (maybe I forgot my password, that's hard to believe isn't it???)BUT, I will try again.
Pat these stories are all so wonderful, the plane story (I have seen these giant planes many times and I think my jaw drops every time) the parking guys, HAHA, and the canopy and the panty hose!! You are our very own Baily White, you keep going girl! I think I see a book of short stories in your future.
