Yesterday, while I was working on my new book and holed up in my basement home office, I got a call from this mature gal in Phoenix. She tells me that tomorrow her favorite hiking trail on North Mountain in Phoenix will be closed for extensive repair. She says,”I’m going to the top right now!”
Someone took a photo of her when she got to the summit. Her name is Rose and she is my first wife. We will celebrate our 45th wedding anniversary This Friday, January 27.
It is hard to imagine that the woman in the picture was in terrible physical shape when she was only 45. She hated to exercise. In fact, she once proudly told a doctor, “I don’t do sweat!”
After that comment he told her,” Well Rose, that time of your life is over! You need to get a trainer and start to move because your muscles are atrophied and your shoulder is frozen.”
Now she is a 70 year old late in life desert hiker and she is in a the best shape of her life
Well done, Rose!8 -

Well done, Rose!
Congratulations Rick and Rose!
Your wife is beautiful, and looks nowhere near 70, more like 50. You are so lucky to be married 45 years. I met my husband late in life, he’s my first husband too but I didn’t get married until I was 45!1 -
@RangerRick, Rose is beautiful! I thought she was 50 too. She's inspiring, and I hope I can be like her.2

Pass #2. Hubby’s birthday and I fully enjoyed the chocolate cream cheese cupcakes I made as well as the fairly high calorie supper he requested. Didn’t go over by too much though and the leftover cupcakes are hidden away in the freezer so they don’t tempt me.1

Lazy day mostly round the resort. Good weather. Went out for a walk to keep body moving and mind fresh. Felt better after (as I usually do). Not fastest pace as still working out area.
Took daughter, her friend and nephew to the local carnival. Daughter is not a rides person, her friend and nephew both were though. I went on one ride (the pirate ship). Just as I remember it (not too scary for me - in some ways almost relaxing ). 2 -
Yes x 30
