Hello, everyone! :) I just found your board and thought I'd introduce myself. :P I'm Gypsy, I'm 62. I had heart surgery in mid March. My dog, Mika, is my "exercise guru," and we are rebuilding our walk mileage each day. I'm married. DH & I will be celebrating our 33rd Anniversary this Friday. :) He is taking a vacation day and we are going to see a car museum, go out to a movie and dinner. We have a grown DD who just turned 28.
Blessings,
Gypsy

"What is life? It is the flash of a firefly in the night.
It is the breath of a buffalo in the wintertime.
It is the little shadow which runs across the grass
and loses itself in the sunset.
- Crowfoot, Blackfoot warrior and orator

Dog fighting is cruelty, which is a human activity and a human illness.
It's not the dog's fault.
All dogs need to be evaluated as individuals."

Sorry to be so late in welcoming you. Been busy with minor flooding in the basement, toilet seal that needed replacing and stains on a load of clothes from lipstick I left in a pocket. Just had time to give a quick look at post subjects to be sure everyone was okay. All is under control now. Only problem is a pulled back muscle from trying to help DH lift the toilet. He's almost 70 and thinks he's 18 - insists on doing everything with a "little" help from me. Our 2 DSs live within 20 minutes of us, but DH refuses to ask for assistance until he really falls apart. I have news for DH - that's the last time he cons me into a little help - LOL.
I live in mid-IL, where we are in late Spring. Late lilacs are blooming, peonies will be out by Memorial Day. Retired last year at 68 and am enjoying it thoroughly. Extended family is close enough that it is an event to visit, but not so close that we are in each other's hair.
