Dear Suze, You youngsters crack me up. I' m 56 and don't feel a day over 124. When I was younger I spent 6 months in South America in head hunter territory at the head waters of the Amazon hiking the old Inca trails where people spoke local dialects of Quechua, if they spoke to you at all. Once they all thought that I was a white witch. My companion had gone off on a day trip, and left me to do laundry, etc. Everyone gathered around me in a big circle and stared. I sat there and the tears started to trickle down. A bent over old lady came and looked me over entensively, and then shooed everyone away. She stayed by my side protecting me all day. When Guiseppi got back, (he learned Quechua in a month -isn't that disgusting), well anyway, he talked to her and everyone settled down. It was quite an experience, the whole tirp. I seem to be reliving parts of my life as it draws closer to cutting time. 38 was a great year. I was still young then. Love, Sally
