Super 8 pool gets our business several times a week. Dennis and I buy our swim pass and usually work it so we are at the pool at the time the previous visitors to the Super 8 Hotel are checking out and the new arrivals have not yet hit town. We can both stretch and bend and twist and turn without a worry in the world of loosing our footing, which could easily happen if we were standing in our living room. We have been assured the water that may be swallowed accidentally is at acceptable safe levels.

On the off days of using the pool I use my exercise bike in our basement. It’s old, but it works. For me, it’s safer than walking out on city streets for mobility. There are irresponsible drivers out there.

At our age is all of this activity necessary? The answer to that is that Dennis and I don’t feel our age. We are sure that at any time we will be called into action when our kids need us for demolition, landscaping or construction projects. Safety glasses: check; hard soled shoes: check; gloves: check; travel coffee cups: check. Yep, we are ready for the calls.
