Ditto - I'll be 70 in two weeks and feel more like 50. I use the computer every day and enjoy it. I also love to quilt and sew. I am still working and keeping busy. No more husbands for me! I married the second one twice and still it didn't work out. Don't want to do it again!!!!! I love my life and the solitude I get now. I take care of myself and do what I want when I want. It's good to be a senior citizen!

I just love your picture with the message. The broderie purse method ( may be misspelled) is one that has fascinated me for a long time. I keep saying "I must try that" but haven't yet. Yours is beautiful.
I started with a computer way back in 1986 before a mouse, or windows when one had to go into DOS to do any commands. I began on word star because I wanted to word process as I was writing family memoirs and wanted to do it more easily. I still write, and have all my life and helped senior groups get started writing their life stories. I have learned so many things about marvelous folks lives this way and continue learning all the time. PS I AM not good on the computer but still "get by".
