So glad my dad doesn’t act his age. If he gets the long sip from the fountain of youth, there’s no telling what he’ll get into!

Full-size toy made for kids, carved out of wood. In stirrup, my eighty year old dad could Not get atop the horse, With playful eyes, of course. He’s at it again, reliving childhood. 6/21/2018

Hello Kim … what the mind says doesn't always correspond with how the body reacts when we grow older. I trust your dad survived this - Lindsay

Peter Pan and your dad and I have the same motto. We don't want to grow up. There is a beautiful-ness in being childlike, not childish.
