Geriatric jet set

I always joke about my parents being the jetsetters for the geriatric set. And it's always in jest. But I am just thinking.... man, they really get around.

Dad just spent the weeking road cycling up to Malacca. He came back yesterday all togged out in the sponsered cycling suit. Mind you, he's 66 this year :o But he doesn't look his age at *all*. He's tanned, and lean, and tough. He does kayaking, rafting and now his cycling. If I inherit only half his gene, I'll live to be a gazillin years old :o

Mom has always had wanderlust issues..... she's the one who yearns to go off and drags Dad around. *wry grin* She can't do the same things Dad does but she's happy to sit in a 5* hotel and she LOVES snow.

And didn't they just come back from Switzerland and Italy? Uh huh. And I just found out they're off to Sabah tomorrow. Yup. Again. I think Mom is feeling a little guilty that she's not bringing any of her kids along. But that's a Mom for you. I just shrugged and told her we (sister and I) didn't really care where or how often they went. We'll just water Mom's plants and hope none of them dies. *crosses fingers*

Apart from that, nothing changes. We live our lives so independantly that truly, nothing changes. The house just gets.... more quiet, more peaceful. And it's neater too!


But... ah... you don't need to tell Mom I said that....
