My mother-in-law

She will be 95 in May and still lives on her own. She is as bright as a button - moans a bit - but tells great stories of her childhood

my second cousin Bud, who lives in Ohio is 88, he works as a handy man at an outdoor theatre (3xw.tecumsedrama.com) The show runs every summer and tells the story of Shawnee indian leader Tecumseh. It's a fantastic place where the actors live on site for the duration of the drama. Includes living huts, shower rooms, kitchen, wash room, shop and ticket office and parking lots. Horses are used so also need taking care of.
