What can seniors do in their spare time to pass the time?

Keep flowers and animals.

My grandpa is like this, in my childhood my grandpa likes to raise flowers, dozens of miles around, just my grandpa in front of the house planted a very high, very high trees, but also planted the moon season, peonies, ironwood, and a lot of unknown flowers, I was a child I often followed my grandpa, watched him take a shower one by one watering over, he often pruned the branches, when I didn't understand, he cut all the I don't understand, he cut all the branches that grow quite well, then he told me, cut to grow better. When I was growing up some time has lived with Mom and Dad, once went to see Grandpa, he mysteriously called me to the room, showed me a kind of meat plant, now everyone calls it succulent, but I have seen it seven or eight years ago, Grandpa said called the jewel flower, I don't know if it's not the name he got himself, in any case, at that time, I think the plant is lovely, and also took back a pot.

Grandpa also had a lot of dogs and cats, all of which were given to him by other people's families as babies. Now the home is a yellow and white cat, a year ago when I saw it is still very thin, now has been raised fat, but still the same as the previous animals, even my grandmother touched all fried hair, only obediently listen to my grandfather, every time I go over to my grandpa will make a special call it to the front, and then the cat as soon as he saw me scampered away again.

In fact, I still quite envious of grandpa, he has been so old, but seems to be full of interest in everything, every time there is something to invite the credit as if to show me, this mentality I think my mother and I can not be compared, oh, yes, I will be generally called grandpa called grandpa, because this kind of affectionate a lot, I also very like. Now I often go back to see him, eat with him, watching him grow old is actually very heartbreaking, but he is still the same as always, like an old child, eat with me to take credit, but also with the grandmother fight. In fact, I quit my job partly because I want to stay at home with them more, after all, this is more than those illusory bank figures from the bottom of the heart to feel satisfied.
