Countdown: 137 Days Until Boomer #1 Turns 65

Overview: "My 65-year-old stepmother is an avid photographer who maintains her own blog and just bought her third camera in as many years. My 68-year-old stepfather "retired" in 2007, yet works seven days a week managing his rental properties. My 71-year-old mother runs three miles a day and is obsessed with trying new products, particularly if she gets a rebate. My 92-year-old grandmother doesn't drive, so my stepfather gives her a lift to the store every week where she makes her own product selections."
