The reason for this e-mail is to ask if there is an exercise for skinny ankles. I have a good-looking physique for a senior, but I don't like my skinny ankles.

Because your ankles have very few large muscle groups around the joint, it is difficult to significantly enlarge your ankles. I do have ankle exercises in all three of my books. In Strong Women Stay Young, I outline Toe Stands and Heel Stands. In Strong Women Stay Slim, I outline the Calf Raise (similar to the Toe Stands). And in Strong Women, Strong Bones, I outline similar ankle exercise as described in my first two books as well as Push and Pull Toes, a wonderful seated ankle exercise. All of these ankle exercises will help to improve the flexibility and strength of the ankle joint and give you wonderful toned calf muscles.
