Grandma is 91 today! I was thinking yesterday that I hope if I make it to 91, I want to celebrate by hiking in Europe or New Zealand or some other such active and exciting pursuit. I hope I'm able to continue to be active as long as I'm alive. I realize that I'm at the age now where I don't dare stop being active, even for a year or two, or it will be intensely difficult to get back to my current fitness level. I may change off on what types of fitness activities I do over the years, but I need to be conscious of all muscle groups and include cardio, strength and flexibility in the mix. If the payoff is still being able to go hiking or be otherwise active at 91, it will all be worth it.
Lunch with Grandma and her sisters was very nice. Michael is ducking out of the pizza supper to go to a party, but he's going to Door Co with us to celebrate this weekend so I let him off by having him call her to wish her Happy Birthday.
Grandma was especially glad to hear from you. She's looking forward to seeing you - I think it will motivate her not to let herself feel too frail to go.
