Good story. -----Original Message----- From: Jean Long via Dialogue <dialogue@lists.wedgeblade.net> To: Sunny Walker - Home <sunwalker@comcast.net>; Colleague Dialogue <dialogue@lists.wedgeblade.net> Sent: Tue, Jun 6, 2017 1:06 pm Subject: Re: [Dialogue] songs 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! jean loving the global archives On Tue, Jun 6, 2017 at 10:40 AM, via Dialogue <dialogue@lists.wedgeblade.net> wrote: Thanks for the belly laugh, John.

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

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!"
