Dad and grandpa said... do not get old..  Both Air force.   Thank you all for your service..

 

I told them I will NOT EVER be an old man.. Too late

 

 That said, there is ALWAYS a way.

 

Your youth may betray you briefly, patience will prevail.  

 

Onward and upward always.  This is the way

Puts me in mind of the little grey haired granny who drugged and kidnapped a young man. Hooded and cuffed he came to his senses in the foreboding silence of a dank cellar.

 

Suddenly he heard a door open and light filtered weakly through the hood. 

 

He listened intently and in fear as light footsteps made their way down a creaking wooden staircase,  before slowly moving towards him; purposely, menacingly...

 

Then a female voice, soft yet somehow terrifying in its tone....

 

"Now what did I come down here for.....?"

I think what I have to add is relevant to a topic of aging:

 

Pam and I have matured to not needing store bought cards.  Hanging inside of our our camper is a piece of paper with a dollar bill taped to it.  On the paper my son, who was probably in 2nd or 3rd grade wrote "Happy birthday dad,  I know this isn't much but that doesn't mean your a bad dad."   A few days ago for  my birthday, Pam taped a dollar to a piece of paper and wrote "Happy birthday Phil, I know this isn't much but that doesn't mean you are a bad husband!  

 

The other day while shopping I told Pam to come to the card section.  I said "IF I was going to buy you a card, this is the one I would get."  Showing her a 6 or 7 dollar card.

 

We seem to enjoy trying to outwit the other with our cornball cards.

 

Pam starts cooking Thanksgiving meal way earlier than I plan to get up.  She came back an got in bed.  Kind of snuggled up to me and I said "Wow! You smell good!" "I do?" she asked.  "Yeah, you smell like kitchen!"  I guess she took that a complement because I heard her telling some of her girlfriends of my comments.

 

Some parts of getting older are pretty sweet.

My wife and I have been exchanging the same special cards for twenty or more years. A couple of them have sound effects when you open them and surprisingly they still work. Must have made better batteries back then.
