We have Susan B. Anthony in one of our local cemetaries.) and saw works of the Group of Seven at the AGO when we visited Toronto a couple of years ago. Your first picture of that glorious view is absolutely marvelous! Hope your teeth are feeling back to normal by now.

It showcased the three main stages of her life and her artwork and they combined it with a number of pieces of aboriginal artwork & masks and photographs of the time period so it was very interesting.<br />I am also very lucky to know a truly amazing older woman - her name is Pat and she is 79 - worked until just a couple of years ago and is so busy in retirement that we practically have to make an appointment to spend time with her. She is alway stylishly dressed, hair and nails immaculate and she is a delight to be around, interested in everyone and everything. She also does 2 miles on the treadmill every morning!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5385735624350758337.post-36961762517824320982015-10-31T09:23:19.356-07:002015-10-31T09:23:19.356-07:00I've really enjoyed looking at these pictures....I've really enjoyed looking at these pictures. .very Autumnal.

My remarkable older woman is 96 and still doing what she has loved all of her life, she is a beautician with her own shop and still has quite a few customers. Recently she told me she had just completed painting her patio floor on her hands and knees but her daughter has forbidden her from climbing the ladder to trim the trees!

I'd like to see some of her work in person one day....<br /><br />I've known several remarkable older women through the years, starting with family (my mother plus some cousins), family friends, and so forth. If they have anything in common, it's a joy in living, a genuine interest in other people, and a knowledge of and an absolute fidelity to who they really are ... AND no fear of being disliked (none, zip, zero). It's a pretty powerful combination.<br /><br />Oh, before I forget, a tip for dental work: Wiggle your toes. (told to me by a dentist who works with children!).<br /><br /> Jean Snoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5385735624350758337.post-27726515061478624352015-10-30T11:55:48.271-07:002015-10-30T11:55:48.271-07:00Hope your jaw is better.

Emily pushed a large perambulator around James Bay and Fairfield, where we live, with her cats, monkey, and her dogs. She was a flamboyant artist with a very Bohemian vibe and so naturally she drew a lot of attention to herself. I've read that she was not a particularly happy woman and preferred to live alone...she had a trailer that she named "The Elephant" that she lived in while painting in remote areas.<br />She must have been incredibly resourceful and brave to buck the tides of Victorian society. hostess of the humble bungalowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06453827257671312902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5385735624350758337.post-11000307372196953672015-10-30T10:30:56.245-07:002015-10-30T10:30:56.245-07:00June sounds gracious and lovely.
