Another Saturday, another day to take off from work and writing. My daughter and her two teen-agers were here for several days, three of which we spent in Disney World. We all love it!
One day in the pool, my 13 year grandson named Parker, asked me if I could live to be 100. I told him it was possible, and maybe even probable if I stay in good health. He asked how I'd feel about that. I looked at my daughter and said, "How do you think I'll feel when I'll realize I have an 80 year old daughter at that time?" He looked shocked. A moment later I was pretty shocked myself!
Age is an amazing thing. Some people at age 60 have the health and outlook of someone aged 30. Others at the same age have the health and outlook of someone aged 80. Here we are looking at a 55th high school reunion in a year! That's amazing, too! We're all over 70 now. Anybody feel that age now? (Be nice!) Come on in and talk here. I'm sending messages to lots of our classmates. If you know updated email addresses, please send them to me.
Cheers! Garda
