Well, that just made me think of the time (early 70s) when gas was 25 cents/gallon and we got a free drinking glass with a fill-up... Sighing!

Today at McDonald's, a young worker asked if he could bring my tray to the table. Took me by surprise. I said " I am not that old". Not something that they ever do at this location. Thought to myself that I better hurry and drink my coffee so that I can perk up.
Felt real old. Crying

Cleaning crew is doing my house. I mentioned the breezeway. You know, that enclosed space 'tween kitchen and attached garage. They had never heard that term before. Is that an old people thing? Something from the past? Gene

God grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked anyway,
the good fortune to run into the ones I do... and the eyesight to tell the difference.

Some Points To Ponder:
1. I started out with nothing, and I still have most of it.
2. My wild oats have turned into prunes and all-bran.
3. I finally got my head together, and now my body is falling apart.
4. Funny, I don't remember being forgetful....
5. Funny, I don't remember being forgetful....
6. Funny, I don't remember being forgetful....
6. If all is not lost, where is it?
7. It is easier to get older than it is to get wiser.
8. Some days, you're the dog; some days you're the hydrant.
9. I wish the buck stopped here; I could use a few.

I can remember when kids in the back seat caused accidents:

When a job you think is only going to take an hour .. maybe an hour and a half takes three hours. Then at then end of those three hours, you are crawling back into the house totally weary. It didn't used to be that way ... Rolling my eyes.
