"Maria Amelia had been ill with pneumonia and various complications which left her weak, so she decided to go to a resort in Brazil for 15 days to recuperate.
Despite her illness, she was determined not to miss the trip, but worried about the long travel time. The trip took 20 hours, but soon after she booked in to a five-star hotel, she took to the dance floor!"
Please, a gracious tip of hats to Eric Shackle, who cued me in about Maria. Judging from Life Begins at 80... On the Internet, he's no spring chicken himself.
One of the really great things about being a nurse is that you get to meet and talk to people from other generations. It's not just that some of them have interesting things to say, and a way of interacting with people that reaches back towards more mannered times... it's, well, that they're old. They used to be young once, and in some ways many of them still are.
Maria Amelia says she started blogging when her grandson, who she describes as "cheap," gave her a blog for her birthday.
