In fact, one of the classmates of our youngest is the son of one of the classmates of our eldest, which is a little bit strange. . .Craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12044041773404411751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-85178728200509001672015-05-27T11:38:57.829-04:002015-05-27T11:38:57.829-04:00I'll be 64 in September and I'm young too....I'll be 64 in September and I'm young too.

Lord above, it certainly illustrated the 66 year age difference. <br />I know that having health issues can add to it considerably too. <br />I can still do a lot of things, fish, etc. For the rest, there's dreaming, where I can still fake to the left, drive and go up and up, my hand at the rim.

It was dark and rainy outside, so I could see through the windows. Inside were a few seniors, playing a game at a table. I thought, "You know, that wouldn't be so bad. Instead of rushing to work, all stressed, just to spend the day hanging out, playing games!" I'm sure it looks much better from the outside looking in.Stephanie Farishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10461865229341760836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-43429215844820820012015-05-27T07:22:48.556-04:002015-05-27T07:22:48.556-04:00Heh, heh.

I also hate it when medical staff and retail people refer to me as YOUNG lady. I want to slap them and scream "STFU!"

I look at my ageing kids and think, hey, you're better than them. I just had my 81st so I know what I'm talking about...
