There are a lot of things that are supposed to aid seniors in keeping their brain function high and one of those things is card or board games. Apparently if you push your brain to solve puzzles it will keep working well longer.
I've mentioned before how often we play board or card games here in the park and tonight was no exception. Six of us ladies played "Rummoli" for a couple of hours and you never saw such a group of dimwits in your life. I blame it on all the talking but we always talk anyway so that's not much of an excuse.
We forgot to put in our pennies, we forgot who went first, we forgot which suit we were playing, we forgot and we forgot again but we laughed our way through the whole game.
It was one of those nights when we'd all had a very busy day and maybe should have just stayed home but we're all too sociable to do the sensible thing so we trotted on over to the clubhouse, pennies in hand, and played our game. We screwed up at every turn, laughed about it, and then made plans for tomorrow evening's game.
The brain cells may be firing a little slower but there are still enough left to know how to enjoy ourselves.

Your last line...that's what it's all about and you know it! :-)
I do know it, darlin' and it's the reason I write this blog. I want everyone to know that age is just a number and no reason to stop enjoying life.
Live, love, and laugh till you drop!
