CAN IT REALLY BE?





                                               Up to date photo taken this morning.



I am 70 years young to-day and find it hard to believe.  That was one of the reasons for the walk over Mt. Aubrey posted yesterday.

For years when I was still caring for Max I was unable to have a decent walk so really appreciate the walks that Doug and I go on.

In spite of the odd ache I am still fit and aim to keep that way.

One of the reasons for lack of time and energy to blog is that at the beginning of August I started on the Lumosity Brain Training games.  I had always been too tired when caring for Max to attempt a Crossword or Code Cracker but had started doing them and felt the brain training may help.

It is amazing - now I must admit how low my "Brain Performance Index" was as in August it was 296 but has now risen to 1141 and I have noticed a huge difference when doing Code Cracker.  Yesterday, I had got nearly to the top of my age group but today move into a new age group.

I have decided that 70 is the new middle age.

Main present was a fishing rod!!!!

    VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY. I wasn't going to mention the number because Lady Magnon keeps reminding me that I'm not that far behind you.

    Fishing rod? I had thought of buying you a Pogo Stick.

    Many happy returns, Susan, and well done on the brain training. I'm only a couple of years behind you and my brain training is sudoku. :-)

    Oh sounds like a wonderful birthday - care giving does limit what you can do
    Hope you have a wonderful, abundant, peaceful 70th year filled with much love.

      When I read that I couldn't remember different plans but I just checked and I have "Full Access - 2 year plan" I think I must have thought that was best value without going for the lifetime one.
