Not long ago, 93-year-old Ray Boutwell got so bored with retirement. He says he could almost feel the obituary coming. “I thought I was going to pass on if I didn’t do something different,” Boutwell said.
So now, Ray gets up at 4 o’clock in the morning to unlock his newfound secret to longevity: cupcakes.
Once upon a time, Ray worked in a bakery, but he never opened a business. And yet, here he is, starting from scratch at 93.
His daughter, Rosana, thought this was a terrible idea. “I said, ‘No, you can’t do that,'” she said.
“Did you think this was dementia?” CBS News asked.
“I was beginning to wonder,” she said.
“Well, I could tell that she was deeply concerned,” Ray admitted. “And I understood that.”
