Lee Cates age 72

Number one rule regarding women... never ask their age or reveal their true age.  Bull Shit is what I have to say to that.  As a woman I feel I have earned every year that is behind me and excited to add years to it.    I met this woman from Scottsdale last summer who stays here just for the summer time.  She walked into my little coffee shop with the biggest grin on her face.  I could have closed my eyes and still seen (felt) her smile.  We became friends right from the start.  She has eyes of a child but with much wisdom in them.  All summer long I heard stories from her past, present and the hopes of her future plans.  I sat, as a child would with her mother, intently listening to her talk with excitement in her voice recalling her life to someone who cared enough to listen.  I remember thinking to myself... "I want to be as lively as Lee is as I grow up."  Oh she just is walking in the door to the shop right now with a big smile on her face!!!  She is so adorable.  Lee just told me about a class she took on laughter.  Big Belly laughter is what the world needs she said.
