wow, wow, wow, wow....

I was going to type "wow" 80 times in honor of my eightieth birthday... but that seemed a bit excessive. Yeah! I'm 80 today. WOW. My sister, who is 90, thinks I'm a mere piker.. but I rather like 80.

Now that I'm going to be a hiker, I've got to make use of every day. Besides which I better be sure to get in my June blog or I will hear about it from said 90 year old.

I come from a line of "long livers." Every time I say that I have the picture in my mind of people with lengthened livers... but you no doubth get my drift. We three siblings have managed to keep on ticking into our 80s and 90s. Wow......

Now I am beginning this new career. Getting my feet into shape for hiking. That is no small matter. I've had a bit of trouble, but it all seems to be getting ironed out. It is difficult to get the right arch supports, etc.

Onward and upward and downward... wherever the trail leads. Whoopee!
