If only I could go there again

Same genes or what? Linda at 72, Orly at 4. This is my favorite favorite.
Me too– I’m amazed by how I look at 80
Yes, The Tree in the background, struggling but still alive

My death defying wife from Long Island (There's actually a simple path here from the main path) Lake Minnewaska State Park is so cool and only 35 minutes away.
