Yup....you do.  If you're young at heart.  My Amma always thought all
the new trends and styles were exciting....she didn't like them all,
but everything was interesting to her.  She didn't have the greatest
health (botched hip operation)...but she never complained a minute.
One thing I noticed about my Amma was that she always had younger
friends...very much younger.  She had the old standbys too...but it
always seemed there was some young woman or another over there for
tea...

That interests me, now that I look back on that...

She was a brave soul, and always made her voice and vote count.  I
remember once I came in after school, and she was on the phone and
said to me "Youl have to wait a few minutes for your snack, I'm on the
phone with the Premier"....(to you US folk, that's like talking to
your governor)..  Something bothered her, so she gave a ring and
phoned him...AND got through.

Anyway, both her and my mother have said to me that they couldn't
believe they were as old as they were because they still felt young
inside...
