Curiosity! A free gift for a rich life?

      Curiosity! A free gift for a rich life. “Curiosity” definitely needs some outdoor exercise. We can go out!  But only locally. Where to go?          “Curiosity” is my best ever gift. Suspect that my Mother gave it to me.  This is how: Each  week as bedtime reading she read us…

Stereotyping of Oldies? Stupid!

We have to alter the distorted image of later years, this lack of understanding of our lifestyle and its quality.
