They don't make em like that anymore

I met the most delightful woman the other day...

She walked in with this ginormous smile on her face speaking of things that contained "glorious" and "beautiful". I wasn't really sure what she was reffering to though....
My mom told me she's about 90 years old and taking college classes (isn't that incredible??)
She taking cooking and baking classes and recently started her own catering business.
Her grey hair was very cutely pulled into a bun on the top of her head and the whole room was full of bright-ness and bubbly-ness from the moment she walked in. She was just amazing and I really wish I could've spent hours talking to her and finding out her story.

i heard once that when you gett o a certain age, they let you study at university's for free. i'm not sure if thats true in the states as well, but i sure hope it is here. cause when i turn 85 i'm going to go get myself a ph.d!!! just for fun!

i love old people who still tons of stuff! age shouldn't limit it us!

yeah I agree, it's so invigorating to see someone older than my grandmother still rocking out and going places and doing things. And they don't let people look down on them. I want to be like that, when I get that age. There is a woman in our church who is in her 80s and plays tennis, goes kayaking, travels to India every year. She wears out the 20 year old girls when they hang out with her.


there are only married 20 somethings in our church my complaints weren't unfounded.

not talking of a "life to the fullest" lady like jason, but of a women who i imagine to be just like your fairy godmother type, kaylen -
once last year a nice polish lady at the busstop began talking to me, and she began to cry just from happiness of me, and she would brush my hair away and laugh at my kleenexes. i hadnt known her mor than 5 minutes ever and i felt so warm to her
