TOPS

One of the groups I belong to is called TOPS. It stands for Take Off Pounds Sensibly. We have a great group and I am the current leader. We can have fun anywhere as evidenced by our annual service project. Each year (a week or so after Memorial Day) we clean up the flowers and flags that are left at Mt. View Cemetery so the grounds crew can mow. The weather was great and the cemetery beautiful. We joke around and it's a chance to get to know some of the members a little better. We're a daytime group so a lot of our members are in their 70's and 80's. We have a couple of people in their 30's & 40's, but most of us are 50+. It's great to see how active some of them are. I hope I do half as well. Mary, the gal who organizes this each year is 82, still lives on her own (just bought a condo and had it remodeled), makes and donates baby quilts to a hospital and still drives (I've ridden with her - no problem there). I'm going over to her place tomorrow and help her tie some more baby quilts.
