I used to travel, too, before my knees got so bad. I usually traveled with one other, but I often traveled alone. My favorite trip with a partner was to the island of St. John. We camped on the beach in the National Park for a week. My favorite trip with a friend was to London. I won tickets on the radio to fly there and meet Peter Gabriel and Sionead O'Connor (and see their concerts). My favorite trip alone was a drive up the east coast from Georgia to New Jersey (I think it was New Jersey) where I quickly ran out of all my remaining money in a casino and had to turn around and head back home. I made it about 10 days altogether on that trip, I think.

I have done some local-ish traveling with my bad knees lately, but nothing adventurous. These days I rent a mobile scooter. On my most recent trip to the beach I rented a mobile sand scooter! That was fun. I plan to do some more local-ish trips over the next year or so, and after my knee surgery I plan to do some more serious traveling.

Orema, may I ask, how long after your knee surgery was it before you felt capable of travel?

I would have waited 6 months because of my age. I think it would have been a quicker healing process had I been even 10 years younger.

Love the travel ideas, y’all.

Apologies for the garbled message. I shouldn't write so early in the mornings. My knees were good enough to travel after 6 months. I may have been better before 6 mths. I'm sure my doctors would have cleared me to travel after 3 months, but I waited to be cautious. I think younger people might heal more quickly.

Well, I'm frustrated still because my laptop refuses to take me to bfp. I keep arriving at a "default page". For a while I could get on because a few specific threads would show up like the "What for dinner" thread, but now I keep getting the "page not found" message on those, too. Obviously not a problem with bfp as I have no trouble getting here on my phone.
Anyway, I miss being here, so here I am on my phone.
Hi Everyone, hope your arriving Spring is beautiful. I love those early days when the trees are just beginning to leaf out. That light green color is so gorgeous and only visible for a few days. We don't get it here in Florida, but I caught it in the background on the news the other day.
Smooches

Hi Keri, I have missed you too!

Did you by any chance see my message about dealing with the default page? It happens to me sometimes too. When you get the default page after signing in, try clicking on the URL bar and clicking enter. It should take you to a legit page, where you can navigate to what you want.

Hugs,

Thanks everyone for letting me join in a few months early! But I'm officially 60 today! I never really thought I'd make it! No big plans, just going to my favorite bakery to pick up a great big cherry pie, then out to dinner with the boy. Watch the Braves game and eat pie when we get home. The perfect birthday!

It seems a little odd to be considering at the age of 60, but I'm seriously thinking of getting two more tattoos. I got my first one when I turned 40, my second shortly thereafter, and I've just never thought of the right thing since then. But lately I've been turning a design over in my mind that's almost come together.

I have another design in mind for a fourth in memoriam of my former partner. But that one is not nearly as well thought out yet.

I don't want to pick something out of a book of flash, although I have looked through them for ideas. Both of my tattoos were designed by me, and my third and fourth ones will be as well.

I just turned 64, and I’m always dreaming about my next tattoo! For me, I don’t believe there’s an age limit. ❤️
