My "stuff" is really just a means to an end at this stage of my life. True joy comes from music, people, dancing, singing, learning new things, my dogs, visiting new places, and nature. I guess I enjoy Alexa because I can ask for the music, and magically, there it is!
My kindle fire. I bought it to read books, didn't realize it's a mini computer. I'm using it right now!
Also my sewing machine and everything in my studio. I'm currently working with paper mache.
I also like my Fire. I bought it mainly as a way to keep myself occupied while waiting during layovers when we travel. Now, I read the Washington Post on it every morning and play games on it in the evening after dinner and before going to bed. But, I do use it as a computer when I can't get to the big computer or when it is not convenient to drag out the laptop.
At 69YO, I'll never, ever get tired of playing with my 300,000 piece Lego collection. In the past 4 months I've constructed five 40-50 story office towers and I'm now working on my most complex project, a 70 story condo building. Anyone want to buy the 70th floor penthouse? I always wanted to be an architect, but this is much more fun!

Stay young as old as you can!
My 34 year old son has a few fairly large plastic bins filled with Lego's. My 6 year old grandson loves playing with them, more so then his own. One day when my son was off he rebuilt a few of the spaceships and planes which my grandson managed to not trash for a few weeks; then he decided he had to make them better until they couldn't be put back together so back in the bin they went.

Most of the grandkids love Legos but we noticed that the ones today are kits to build something specific. The ones we had as kids, you used your imagination to build whatever.
I've never been into the Lego kits, I use my imagination with basic blocks. I've also bought a number of Lego's, specific ones, from the Lego store. I also mix them with Mega blocks, because they came out with the tropical colors which fit with the Lego bricks.

My son was born in 85, if I remember right, the kits came out when he got a little older. We have a few books on how to build various things using the Lego bricks, which he has a ton of; but he also has a few of the kits.
