Life as it is now...

well here it is May already and I haven’t posted in a while, I’ve just been busy.   You would think when you get in your 60’s life slows down some but it hasn’t for me.   I am doing things I really love though so I can’t complain too much 🙂.  
   I have ongoing projects that never seem to get finished (ongoing😄). Like organizing my pictures for one thing.   I try to put them in albums in year order and somehow they get mixed up and I have to try to guess what year was that..but you have to understand I have thousands of pictures so it gets real time consuming.   I remember things by looking at my pictures, like how cute my girls were, (they still are❤️). I remember all of our vacations, clogging performances, fishing trips, fair rides..and the list goes on.   Now I am taking pictures of my grandkids, so I’ll have more to keep me busy into my 80’s I guess.   I was listening to my daughters podcast last week @sweethomesouthcast,   www.sweethomesouthcast.com and they had a guest photographer and she stressed the importance of printing out your pictures, so I still do print out a lot of my pictures.
I also make Shutterfly books for my kids so they’ll have pictures in print.
     I babysit for my kids as well, I don’t really consider it babysitting though cause for me I love to spend time with my grandchildren.  I know these young years pass by too quickly and soon they will consider me and Janjan, an obligation and not want to spend time with us.  It’s really sad for me when I know that time will come when they say “I really need to go see Maemae & Janjan”. We’ve all been there if you’ve had aging grandparents.  So I try to play with them and spend time with them often.
     Another activity that keeps me busy is exercise, almost daily I try to get in walking or weightlifting 🏋️‍♀️ so I can play with my grandchildren and ride motorcycles with my hubby.
     Every year Jan and I make a trip or two on the trike, usually out west, but sometimes to Nova Scotia or Canada.   We have had some great travels on our trike, some with friends and some alone.  You can see a lot of pictures on facebook, wwww.facebook.com/sarah.touchton or on Instagram SarahTfromFlorida.
     Ok I’m  signing out for now but will be back soon...  oh our trike trip starts in June so stay tuned.  🤗
