They are the most energetic retired people I have ever known. This summer they have been working on their house, making their deck larger and getting their home ready for painting. They will do the painting. We first met them through Mark, my Dentist who bought a home along the shore, and who got to know David through golf. Also both Marion and David run races, regularly, and they win. Soon they will be 70. Whew.
Tonight they came to dinner along with Mary and Cliff. It seems silly to say goodbye when this is the first time we have seen them this summer but we have both been busy so now we were able to spend an evening together. Both and Marion and David were born and raised in Liverpool, and their ancestors too, so they can talk about the history of Liverpool. David worked as an upholsterer and he taught the job to his son Alan. Marion had a business selling craft supplies. They both worked very hard but when they were almost forty they took up golf. David could shoot 72 regularly but now he only golfs about once a week. They have always run but 20 years ago they started racing and they love it. "Keeps us young", says David, "and gets us out with young people". It is working. It was a pleasure to spend time with our friends Mary and Cl;if and these energetic folks, Marion and David.
