My mom did try sign language and a bonjour at 75 and won the hearts of everyone around her. Even in her 80s she is just plain adorable. I love it…

My dad (now 82) always raises his hat to folk and semi-shouts 'Good Morning' on his daily 5km walk. I also love the fact that our parents can still embarrass us at any age. It reminds me of a friend of mine who took her eccentric mother bowling. When it was the 'said' mother's turn to bowl she took a rather over enthusiastic lunge and ended up doing a sort of pirouette before diving down the bowling lane still clutching the bowling ball. I only wish I'd been there. My parents are quite tame in comparison. P.S I was sorry to hear of Ghinch's death. We had just had an enjoyable sparring comments match on this blog and I was looking forward to more of them.
