Contrary to Popular Belief, Seniors Like to Play with Stuff..

My husband used to have a model train set-up, that was fun to watch and play with. It had all the tiny little trees, benches, buildings, etc. I see a lot of adults at the parks playing with remote planes and helicopters, kites, etc....neat stuff! I have a dog and a cat who I play with when I'm in the mood, mostly the cat, he like to chase and jump after those wand thingys...but usually destroys them within the first day. I'm not one for games, maybe the occasional crossword puzzle when I have time.

I remember my older brother's train-set, it was so cool! I think he had a few things, like little buildings etc:) This would have been about 1952 I think, well, a couple years later. I used to like to take a thin elastic cord and tie it to a hook on the ceiling. then put a little something like foil, etc. on it, and my cat would play for the longest time, lol!!
 
Izzy is farting big time today. So I'm not hugging him right now, but I still have the hubby to squeeze. :bigwink:

Well thanks for sharing that Ina, and just a word of advice, I wouldn't squeeze the hubby too hard:danger:

Is that your kitty TG, did you get him interested in the military? Have you got a savings plan started for his college, inquiring minds want to know. Frankly, I would think you would have him in training to be the best kitty-surfer that ever lived!!

Oh man, you'd never look at kitties the same would you, LOL!! Did you ever see an old movie called The Incredible Shrinking Man? That was a good flic, well, unless you put yourself in his shoes, :giggle:
 
That's a great cat video! I've already sent the link to my daughters and granddaughters, all of whom have cats.

I like to write. When my two youngest grandkids were about 2 and 4, I visited them and, of course took many pictures of them playing, etc. I decided to put the pictures together to illustrate a story. The 4-year-old had red shoes that she loved, which looked like Dorothy's ruby slippers. So the big plot of my story was about Larkin losing her ruby slippers and how she and her sister hunted all over the house, and they finally turned up in the refrigerator. I printed out the book and gave it to them, and they loved it.

On a later visit, when they were older, I wrote a science-fiction mystery about Max, their cat. I had a couple of pictures of big fat yellow Max playing with a cell phone, where it looks like he is talking on it. So he's supposed to be a space alien calling his home planet. That one came out pretty funny also.

They're teenagers now, and beyond my writing level for stories. But I know they treasure those early books. Writing them was a joy, and definitely qualifies as "playing."

Good topic!
 
They are hilarious! Try to snuggle them and many times, they are very independent, like "I want to be alone". But be busy on the phone, or anything else and it's "me, me, me" "pay attention to me", LOL!!
