My random thoughts and reactions to my everyday life. The voices like a forum.
I do not know quite what happened or when , but my hubby and I now qualify for seniors' discounts at some venues. This creates a quandary; in order to save money, but not face, we have to admit to our age. HMMMM..... We definitely do not consider ourselves to be old. In this day and age ,when people as a whole are living longer and healthier lives why are 'young seniors', those in their fifties, like moi, considered 'old'?? It's so true that age is just a perception! "Maturity" is very objective/subjective, and I object! Whew, a few years have skittered by since I composed this biography block. Those "fifties" are in the rear view mirror and they are distant, fond memories. Oh, I do not plan to stop writing any time soon.

Day 25 Marrakech, Morocco
         At the crack of dawn I rose from my bed, no, wait, at dawn I fell from my bed and cracked my head.
         What am I saying? Sigh. At dawn, I flew high in the sky. A red Marrakech Dream balloon lifted me up and away. The earth dropped far below and I greeted a new day.
         My worries were left stranded on the ground. My hopes soared and billowed with a whooshing sound.
         I dared not breathe or blink. Bursting sun caused shadows to sink.
         Red sand glistened, palm trees waved, how many photos did I save?
         Apres flight I dined on fresh fruit, naan and tea. An authentic meal for a Berber belly.
         In outdoor Marrakech markets I next rambled and browsed. A warren of bustling, teeming souks did abound.
         Aromatic spices tickled my nose. My eyes feasted upon rainbow hued clothes.
         Woven baskets, leather bags were offered as wares, but the gorgeous rich rugs vied for my stares.
          Thanks Lyn's a sly fox , another win, a fascinating , fun expedition!
