Guest guest Posted August 26, 2000 Report Share Posted August 26, 2000 An elderly lady in our road has got fed up with all her family dumping on her especially at Xmas and New Year, and she shocked the life out of them when she booked herself onto a Rhine Cruise one Xmas. She then followed it up with trips to the Great Wall of China, Florida and Jamaica and is now thinking of doing India, in between lesser gaddings about. I'm all for it. In fact, I've scrapped the old folks home idea and decided that when I'm not abroad I shall invite myself to my offspring's homes just a month or two or a time, you understand. I'm not sure where the money will come from but I'm not desperate to leave huge amounts to the grubs, so maybe the house will go and we'll spend, spend, spend! I'm looking forward to it, already!

Guest guest Posted August 26, 2000 Report Share Posted August 26, 2000 When I was in India I met an elderly lady. Her husband had died and she was off backpacking around the world. Her children were completely horrified and thought that she was making it up when she told them of her plans but I met her after she had started in America and worked her way round to India in nearly a year so there is hope for all of us!!
