Oh, I don't know.... I know one old guy who is enjoying the

Yeah, I know some too, I'm still married to the same woman for 55 years. G

I have a list of places I go, the barbershop, the grocery store, a
nearby Big Lots, and the library, mostly to the library. Wife likes
trips, the dog and I like it when she's on one but are also happy when
she gets home. We have two kids, five grand kids, and six great grands,
we live within a few miles of all of them but we seldom see them,
they're young and busy, we're old and lazy.

I've been declared dead twice by doctors but I'm still here so there
must be something in my favor. Could be a loving dog and a garden to
peruse and sometimes am allowed to work on and in. It could be worse, I
could be in prison or dead. I just take it a day at a time and try to
stay happy.

Picked a two-gallon bucket of sweet peppers and eggplant today and the
damned things are blooming again. Also picked enough greens from the
winter garden to make a nice salad for dinner tonight. Believe it or not
the honey bees are swarming our flower beds and gardens, winter must be
close, there were hundreds of them out there today.
