    My neighbor amazes me......

    We have an old retired lady next door, she looks old and she even walks a bit slower already but she can still drive. But what really amazed me the other day was seeing her driving a 125 cc moped on a full set of gear, complete with helmet and backpack. I thought its the postman, then the helmet was taken off and it was her. Then today, she amazed me again, i was in the bedroom when i saw someone on a pushbike going so fast - it was her again Amazing lady! And i thought she was old I guess she is just old in appearance but not in spirit coz she sure has the spirit of a youth

    Bad news indeed, too bad for others, but i guess my amazing neighbor can surely cope on her own

    I'm pretty sure it was her and i suppose she's a real woman, although she's active like a man.

    Exactly like my mother in law as well. She's in her 70's. We had a get together last weekend and she arranged where were going so she led the way. We had a convoy - mother in law, brother in law and my hubby and me. And to my surprise, she is a mad driver!
    She drives like a mad filipino driver We hardly can keep with her. She doesn't stay on her lane and change lanes everynow and then, wherever is the fastest. And i was telling her after, that i never thought she had that in her, and we both laughed. But i doubt if she would wanna drive a moped or a push bike either
