jean long here -

when my adopted grandkids celebrated my 77th birthday on May 20 I said to them - before we light the candles, I have a gift for you all.  Their eyes got brighter and they stiffened up and looked around!  I said it doesn't come in a box -- the gift is that I am the only "old" person you know who has fun getting older each year.  Do you know anybody who is old who likes being old?  No?  When I was 12 I decided I never wanted to be old like my aunts (in flour sack dresses) and my uncles (sleeping on the porch or playing cards).  Now there is nothing wrong with any of those things - unless that is the sum total of your activities!  I think I have succeeded in being Auntie Mame gloryifically thank you very much!!

What an adventure - I've never been 77 before!

I got a birthday card with 3 men talking. The first says, "it's windy." The second responds, "no, it's Thursday." The third says, "So am I. Let's have a beer."  Such is elder hearing. 

You know you're getting old when you and your teeth sleep in a different place.

While we are on this topic, I remember yesterday some comments about "the sound of heaven" . . . 

Judy says I am more and more concerned about the hereafter.  I walk into a room and wonder what I am here after . . .

Jim, your experience would make a good poem in the tradition of WC Williams, apologizing for doing something you are not really sorry for doing.—Diann McCabe

The other night, we were watching television after supper, and I thought about the ice cream in the freezer and got up to get a bowl.  I asked my wife if she wanted some, and she said "Yes, but don't forget the chocolate sauce. You know I like chocolate sauce on ice cream, and you always forget it."

As I walked into the kitchen the phone rang, so I answered it -- one of those phone solicitations.  When I hung up, I couldn't remember why I went to the kitchen, so I looked around and saw the pot of leftover soup on the stove that we had for supper.  I made a bowl for me and one for my wife.  I walked into the living room and handed my wife the soup.  She looked and said, "See!  You forgot the crackers!  You know I like crackers with my soup and you always forget them!"
