Arla's Aimless Anecdotes

This is my attempt to write one occasional email to various people at one time. I specifically write with my cousin Judy in mind. Since we grew up together we agreed in our teens that we'd always try to keep in contact. This is a supplement to our twice yearly phone calls and our once yearly visit at our Johanson Family Memorial Day Reunion.

Exercise!

So how have your senior lessons been so far? Is your posture perfect and are you extremely fit? It is difficult to be fit around here as there are 54 in our Senior Fitness class and there is much talk about arthritis and proper shoes. It seems to be necessary to have special shoes to participate in special classes. I only had walking shoes, aerobic shoes and shape up shoes and recently I found there is a Zumba shoe that so far I am delaying purchasing as I’m not really doing too well in that class.

Besides these classes I’ve only been taking things out of cupboards to give to family members and/or Goodwill. Here are my 70 year old stuffed animals ready for the garbage.

I am really giving too much thought to this 70 thing. I mean it seems like I should be organizing myself into a cocoon and folding myself inside. It doesn’t help that I’m being very lazy. I am finding all the Fjeseth history papers so I can take them to my cousin, Nancy in Montana next weekend. I've seen her about as often as you've seen your Bermuda cousin so I'm anxious for a visit with her and her brother. See how beautiful it is outside with all the colored leaves.

Diana and I had a long phone conversation and Brice recently had his 90th birthday. Ron will soon be entirely on his new hip with no crutches or walker. Nancy is on her way to CA to visit and scout out a place for a visit again in February. Do you want to come visit with us?

Freedom is a new book I’ve been reading and it’s very long but interesting. I could share your gossip but there’s not enough of it to tell about.

Brett sent a Halloween video that perhaps only a parent would find amusing.

My exercise class is good as it gets me up and out three days a week so all my days are filled with something to get up and out.
And it might even be motivating me to continue to exercise in some form every day. Must keep this body going!
We may be old but we are good...how many other 69 year olds could do what we did in Borneo?
In class Bridget, our instructor, is always telling us to stand up straight which reminded me that my Mother always told me that. So maybe my posture will improve.
You are right...it is a video that only a parent would find amusing.

Thank you two for sharing. I really appreciate hearing what you are doing. Both of you nearly 70? Naahhhh. Can't be! Jill
