She's only seventy-two and still remarkably spry. Yes, she still treats us. After we left this shop, we stopped by a bookstore across the street and wouldn't rest until my brother and I picked something.

It's not a hassle or an obligation when you enjoy it. If only I could view my job in this manner.

Honestly, I never thought to ask for a definition. Of course, one has to be careful about asking questions. She's a retired librarian and will easily slip back into teaching mode. Even the simplest replies turn into lectures.

She must appreciate your help; shopping's very tiring for elderly people. I wonder whether she still want to treat you nowadays.

What a great memory. Go-roping - it must have meant something. Have you asked your aunt? I'd be interested to know.

It's a lot of fun, especially now that she's reached a point in her life when she speaks her mind about anything to anyone.

She's the one into exercise, working out everyday at the gym in her apartment complex.

It's nice that your Aunt took you along as children and it's nice that
now that you are grown, you still want to go-roping with her. Never heard the term, but it's very nice.

I know your auntie loved it, too. Now this is a kind of
sentimental lifestyle that works for everyone. And maybe burns a few more calories than watching championship fishing...
