The owner has had several businesses before and decided, almost on a whim to start this shop up in my town (she resides in Toronto.. the shop is in Peterborough). She makes the trek between both cities (about a 1.5 hour drive) every couple of weeks or so, looks after two homes and her mentally disabled son, two dogs and herself. She just turned 91. I aspire to have her strength at any age, let alone a few decades from now.Hilaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12787493532006658679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2293097948980376506.post-73338185344353336902017-08-10T14:08:57.140-07:002017-08-10T14:08:57.140-07:00Our friends are great examples of how to live full...Our friends are great examples of how to live full lives as long as possible, Danielle.<br /><br />Thank you for visiting.Marie Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03882722634065183364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2293097948980376506.post-45771703936553829872017-08-10T14:07:12.116-07:002017-08-10T14:07:12.116-07:00That area is not age friendly, Keith. though your ...That area is not age friendly, Keith. though your scooter gives you mobility, you can't use it.

I have to use a mobility scooter to get about now. The weather in England is now so bad (rains at some point every day)that I can't even get out on that! If we get a sunny day (not very often) all the pavements (footways?) are usually blocked by parked cars now and I'm not allowed to use the roadway by law so I cant get past them!Robert Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13163819196303858927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2293097948980376506.post-66421064930386629902017-08-10T04:22:20.163-07:002017-08-10T04:22:20.163-07:00Your friends have a very healthy outlook on life. ...Your friends have a very healthy outlook on life.
