According to the calendar, I am now 93 years old, an exceedingly elderly female.
I used to hear old girls in their 70s and 80s claim they felt as young
and frisky as ever inside. I thought
they were full of old shoes.
Here is an honest fact: I still play golf regularly, still find
myself and my golf clubs in strange places like barns and supermarkets with
Tiger Woods’s type shots needed to get out of trouble. . . in my dreams.
I won’t be celebrating by seeing if I can
still fly an airplane, as I did on my 90th birthday. My walker would get in the way.
I’ve
been thinking it would be fun if you kind tearsandlaughterat90 visitors from other
countries wished me a Happy Birthday in your native languages. Click on “no comments” below, and a space
will appear for your comment, headed
by your name or “anonymous” if you prefer.
Then by all means take a look at my daughter Kathie’s very important
blog http://engagingpeace.com
It would be splendid if you would leave a
comment for her, as well.
Cheers and best wishes to all of you!

One hundred forty-seven visitors
yesterday but none left a comment. I had
a very nice birthday anyway, here at Linden Ponds where I’ll never again have
to load a dishwasher. The quality of the
food? Delicious. I have asked helpful server Diane to convey my compliments to the chef.

I printed the above and showed it to Diane when I was selecting my meal at the cafe this evening. She stood there reading every word, then said, “That’s lovely,” as she leaned over and gave me a kiss. One is never too old to appreciate a moment like that.
It seems illogical, but to in order to make a comment, one must click on No comments. Not the way I would manage things but what does an old crone know about designing blogs? Just enough to enjoy thoroughly being a blogger.
