“Sexual energy…is more a function of health than age.”

Competing for Steps

Sassy Grandma wears a Fitbit. It’s the tiny one that fits in a pocket, on a waist band or hooked to a baseball cap. I’m a big water aerobics fanatic, so I wear it on my UCONN cap and log 10K steps every morning for the hour I’m in the pool. That time is a great start to my daily goal.

Sexy Grandpa tried to talk me out of the purchase and not because of the cost. “You are already motivated” was his comment and couldn’t figure I could do anything else to increase my commitment to health. Well, once I began bragging, he decided to step up his game (maybe less time in front of t.v. watching sports?) and was willing to make the attempt to get to his daily goal also, 10K which is the same as mine.

Not long ago, we experienced a wonderful vacation/adventure during a cruise in Southeast Asia. Of course, both of us wore our Fitbits every day on land or sea. Let me tell you, when you log 15K+ steps in a day and on some outings close to 20K, THAT’S motivational. We had fun comparing stats and did more walking than we might ordinarily (skipping cabs or buses) to offset heavy cruise eating!

When we returned, we have continued to ‘compete’. Some days I’ll ask Sexy Grandpa to do an hour of mall walking with me. If his Fitbit number is low, I get a “Yeah, sure.” Can you imagine? He is actually willing to go up and down between levels just to keep up with my success?

It’s so easy to fall into a rut. I suspect the same thing every day seems to be the norm for most couples. (and, sometimes for us as well.) Even this small change of behavior has enriched our lives. While I’m not willing to say Grandpa’s walking with me earns him benefits, I will go on record that he looks great, feels healthy and has increased his energy. Will leave the rest to your imagination.

Stay tuned. We’re counting on you to keep us young at heart!

Keeping Up with Technology

As I write this blog, I’m realizing just how out of touch with technology I am. Admittedly, I continue to struggle with You Tube and Twitter. I spend hours watching YOU TUBE Videos and now, to my surprise, Sexy Grandpa has his own YOU TUBE Channel. I’ll share more about that at a later time.

I’m trying my best to figure out Twitter with its hash tags and it’s limitation of 140 characters. While I continue to work on it I find it extremely difficult to say anything in 140 characters. After all, I’m an author of several books and I need to express myself fully.

Now, let me talk about Periscope. I realize that Periscope has many merits, most of which I am sure I have yet to discover. Yep! I downloaded it to my iPhone 6s (at least I have the latest iPhone) and for the last several days I’ve been staring at the app because I can’t even figure out how to reverse the screen.

I have a lot to say but I’m not sure how to publish it and then turn the video off. Hopefully, by the time you read this blog, I’ll be closer to resolving my own limitations. Of course, then there’s the Selfie Stick; technology at its best. I’m saving my comments on “the stick” for later.

Stay in Touch…

Just Asking

Sexy Grandpa got challenged to write: Grandpa Does Grandma: The ABCs of Senior Sex. A young woman was curious and asked him if ‘the older generation’ still has sex! Can you imagine? First, her having the nerve to even ask the question and second, the nerve of my husband to decide to write a non-fiction book about it! Well, we really thought ‘the book!’ would mostly appeal to our generation. Wow, were we mistaken. As we shared the story, it was actually our children’s age group that found us, the book and subject very enlightening! Without patting ourselves on the back, it seems, and without that intention at all, we are setting an example with all age groups of what’s possible when love, intimacy and commitment continue well into the latter years of life. So, we’re just thrilled that our readers span a wide age group.

What does this have to do with the title of my blog: Just Asking? For me to enlighten our followers, to engage you to expand your thinking by being open minded, I want to be sure that my thoughts, ideas and insight are resonating with you! Are you enjoying what I share? Are you letting others in on our secrets? Are you following along? Have you visited our website: www.GrandpaDoesGrandma.com and downloaded Sexy Grandpa’s PDF on the Myths of Senior Sex? We want everyone, everywhere to know that we are committed to enhance your life by engaging in lifetime intimacy with the person you love. Please post comments. Please send our ideas along to your contacts. Stay tuned. We’re counting on you to keep us young at heart! Sassy Grandma
