IS AGE JUST A NUMBER?

“Old age is second childhood.”

Aristophanes

Now I realize it’s cold in a lot of places. Cold enough here last night that we had to keep the taps dripping all night so the pipes wouldn’t freeze.

Reading on Facebook this is why.

Yippee. No frozen pipes this morning. Just people. Figuratively not literally. To us it was cold but to the locals it was freezing.

Some morning comparisons.

Morning. Yoga and Happy Pappys.

Their washroom always has creative displays.

Then we went to the Introduction to Mobile Fair.

Lots of booths with information about Mobile and Dauphin Island.

Do you consider seniors and old age to be one and the same? I am a senior but most of the time I don’t feel ‘old’. So is age just a number? We’re often discussing how many years we’ll be able to come down here in the winter due to aging. But as we looked around at today’s clientele my friend Care commented that apparently we have lots of years left. Good to know.

Aristophanes was right though regarding second childhoods. Everyone here displayed childlike enthusiasm while visiting the booths and getting their ‘freebies’. Me included. Discount coupons, pencils, pens, note pads plus entries for gift prizes. On top of things for Richard and myself I also picked up a few interesting items for my grandson. Score.

Such a senior.

By the afternoon we were able to sit on the deck. Still only 8C but no wind so it felt warmer. Richard was fine with it. I wrapped myself in a blanket. 🥶
