Fountain of Youth in Washington, D.C.

As usual, I was looking for another way to find the Fountain of Youth when I went to D.C. to visit my daughter and son-in-law for Christmas. By the end of the visit, I decided that just visiting my child and her husband was like visiting the Fountain of Youth!! We played Wii on Christmas Eve and went to fun movies like "The Golden Compass" and "National Treasure: Book of Secrets." Each day I got younger and younger! I think it's a great discovery...hanging around with the younger members in your family can definitely make YOU younger!!

Music in the Fountain of Youth

Last night I went to a wonderful Christmas Party/Dinner at the assisted living center where my mother lives. There, a 92 y.o. resident who has sung a solo every Christmas since he was in third grade, sang "Sweet Little Jesus Boy." It was absolutely beautiful! If there is any doubt that music keeps you young, just look at this face while he's singing. The tone and pitch were excellent and we were all just thrilled as well as touched by this man's beautiful singing! Bravo!
Later, my mother conducted the residents' choir in "Away in a Manger." Even though she could not see them, she conducted beautifully and kept them all together! If music keeps you young, play on! Sing on!
