January 11, 2012. Playa Royale, Mexico. Getting Old.

She walked into the Mall and from a distance she looked quite young, except for the limp and the cane.   Her dress was sleeveless and in a bright orange color, ending mid thigh.    Her hair style was designed for someone in her mid twenties and was some color of red.  I watched her as she approached the tables and sat down.  With every step she made, coming across the floor of the shopping mall, it was apparent that this old lady just wanted to look young, but it reality, she merely looked totally ridiculous.

Now I am sure she is a nice lady.  She smiled pleasantly to several people while she was sitting waiting.  But why does she not want to look her age?  Pretending she is young when she is  not young  accentuates the fact that she was old, and probably looked older than she actually was.  It is a mystery to me.  Perhaps she looks good in pictures!!
