“Beautiful young people are accidents of nature, but beautiful old people are works of art” ~ Eleanor Roosevelt

I used to “granny sit” while I was at school. This meant I had to keep an elderly lady company in the evenings, prep her dinner, help her get around her apartment and to and from the bathroom (yes, that too), and sometimes stay over at night. Be on stand-by… just in case.
This little lady had led a fascinating life… She was on of the few people to have survived the holocaust of the second world war and had traveled extensively. I loved to hear her stories (even though she tended to repeat the same ones over and over ;-) But gosh, what a treasure she was. So many amazing experiences and wise words to share…

Have a look at this:

Olive Riley from Woy Woy is 108 years old,…
or should I say young?
She is the world’s oldest blogger.
She is still so full of life and so cheeky ;-)
Love it!

Alan Wadell, 93 years old - Walking Sydney’s Streets.
After his doctor advised him to exercise in 2002,
Allan decided to take up walking. He plans to walk all
the streets in Sydney… and he’s well on his way to
succeed!
I especially love the “Surprises” section.
Who said old folks are grumpy?
