I play tennis with 28 women and a few men many mornings in a public park. Most are retired teachers, a few still work. I owned a travel agency for 25 years, I raised three sons, have 3 grandchildren. I am the oldest woman in my bicycle club at 81, and ride about 2000 miles a year. The oldest in the tennis group is 85. I love my age.

OMG! You are all so inspirational. Aren’t we fortunate to have found each other!
I’m just 66 but because of a balance issue I cannot ride my bike. Those of you who can still ride, enjoy the ride!! Luckily there are many other things I intend to enjoy for years…like a great book.
I am a new participant to this group. As I read the posts I am so glad I have become a member. What wonderful women I am going to meet.
