    Life's odometer

    Well gentleman, I have just logged another year on my odometer. I am now 84 and counting. I did get a free breakfast at Denny's this morning. It was good. By the way I am the youngest of eight and there are four of us still living. Clean living I guess.

    I consider that quite an accomplishment, making it to 4 score and 4.

    If you are going to do some thing dumb do it now while you can still blame it on youthful indiscretion !!!!
    We go through life trying to make the best decisions we can based on the best infomation we can find, that turns out to be wrong.

    Good Morning,
    Happy Birthday to all of you! I completed 75 trips around the sun on Sunday, September 30, no wonder I am tired. We celebrated at our Daughters house, I was surrounded by family, my good wife of 54 years, and God still loves me in spite of my many faults. I am blessed.

    Have a blessed day,

    Leon

    Happy Birthday to several of you who have just turned the page to another year. Especially to you, GOPHER SLAYER, the op for this thread. I will make my 73rd in January if the Good Lord permits it. I agree with smokeywolf in post #13 where he posted .."I consider that quite an accomplishment, making it to 4 score and 4." As we age there are bumps in the road that weren't there when we were younger, but it is a great life. The wife and I are very blessed to still be making this journey together at 51 years and counting.
    Mark 5:34 And He said to her (Jesus speaking), "Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace and be healed of your affliction."

    Hi...
    I will turn 64 in November.
    It is not the years...it is the miles.
    Too many of them have been over rocky roads.

    66 on wed, not a lot of excitement here. No big whoopie IMO.

    Good news is I am still here and still doing things I like to do.
