I am so proud of my grandparents. The examples that they have set for adults in later life are only what I could hope for myself in the best of circumstances. They are both very active, despite retirement and the occasional wrinkle. For example:
They are avid motorcyclists (and yes, my grandma can drive one too!) They are part of a motorcycle group that does local, day-long rides to cool local restaurants and places of interest.
They are keeping up with technology. I talk to both of them via Skype about once every one or two weeks. In fact, it is my grandpa's birthday this week, so I plan to video call him that day. My grandpa manages some websites for others, as well as his own for his square-dance calling business. They have a joint Facebook account to keep up with the family goings-on, and they also have had IM accounts for years.
They have a variety of hobbies that keep them busy, and it seems like they are always running off to some business or social plans.
I just hope that I can stay as current and active as they are when I get to be their age!
