I'm Arlene Wisotzke, I'm 86, and I've just been having a grand old time with all of this snow.
(dynamic music) I like the seeing all the different scenery and I like the exercise of it.
I really enjoy that.
I just have a really good sense of balance.
I don't worry about falling.
And I always think, it's snow anyways, it won't be hard.
A reason I'm like this is because I have kept occupied with activities of all different sorts all through the years, and going to exercise, working out.
From May to October I'm sailing here every day.
And then I take walks, and oh, I Rollerblade, I forgot about that.
I Rollerblade too.
The secret is to really stay active as much as possible.
Well, I'm gonna keep on as much as I can.
My knees are a little bit, you know, complaining a little but I still manage to go.
Yeah, and I hope 'til at least 90.
