Age doesn’t necessarily mean a decline By CAROL PERKINSFor the Daily Times Looming before us was a gorgeous entrance to a highly gated community that would rival the entrance to Hurst Castle.
Without a word, we looked from one to the other, knowing this was a hopeless quest. We approached the keeper of the gate as if we belonged. “Do you have an invitation?” he asked. “No, but” Then we all talked at once, explaining that all we wanted to do was see where George Strait lived and we would drive right back out and not bother anyone or anything. We had come all the way from Kentucky to see him (we lied a little) and we couldn’t go home without at least seeing where he lived — you can imagine the fellow’s eyes rolling. We weren’t the first carload of fans to reach the gate only to back up, turn around, and head back down the driveway. Did we think we would find him? That he would have said, “Why don’t you Kentucky ladies come on in and have lunch with us?” Well, maybe. If he knew us, he might enjoy our company. If only. There was a time when I never missed a George Strait concert. The last concert I attended two of us went with no tickets and ended up with the best seats we had ever had. I was so close I could have been a back-up singer. As for the original topic of aging, I think George is aging well, but he isn’t the only one. Think about those around you or in your family who “look good for their ages.” There are many women in their 80s that I admire for their spirit and their attitude, and hope I look as good as they look when I am their age. What am I saying? I don’t even look that good now!
