HUMOR
We believe that we should go through life with willingness to change and a sense of humor. When we are having a bad experience, we always say, "This will make a good story someday!" We want to fill this section with funny stories, tasteful, funny jokes and great quotes about doing an activity after fifty.

Cold weather and cozy fires, both gone in a snap

We had the last fire of the season the other night. It was one of those cool spring evenings when the temperature dips into the 30s for the last time...
How NOT to Pack:
The Old Gray Goose
This is a painfully funny story of how NOT to pack for a week long hike. A few years back, I bought a new "day" pack and since the cu. in. size seemed to be ALMOST (but not quite) the size pack I was striving to carry, I thought I would see what I could do with it for a week hike...
Wise Words On How To Stay In Shape From "Tuscarustic Cousin"
I keep fit as follows:
1) I farm. This year I pushed whellbarrows of wet cement
for a "knee wall", rolled 2000 plus or minus pound bales
into place, strung fencing, etc. The switch from agrarian
to suburban living killed the most honest exercise of
all--work.
2) In New Jersey Suburbia, I do always mow my own grass on
about 1/3 acre--with a non-self propelled gasoline mower,
or the old spindle mower.
3) If I'm well, tennis 3 nights a week--generally singles,
and always with men younger (sometimes a generation or two)
than I. I do stop after two sets--and the opposition knows
they have had a match. Serve and volley is my style, not
passively rallying from the baseline.
5) I take walks with my 22 month old grandson--maybe that
doesn't really count, but it keeps me younger in other
ways. Always nice when somebody accuses me of being his
father.
6) Bad habits--too much viewed football on Saturday and
Sunday--. I do blink my eyes at the TV set, though.
