I am in cruise mode, never-ever-having thought I would make it into my sixties…never. So if I can care for Annie, can some tomatoes, sauce, and ketchup and write about the Giants, until they scatter my ashes in the bleachers-any bleachers-I am contented.Mark O'Neillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16295762252612104201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1078324787471983933.post-69855221334375874162014-09-03T10:59:08.660-04:002014-09-03T10:59:08.660-04:00Thanks.

It is neat though that you had various styles over the last 4 years; I tend to stick with the same style for the last 10 years now that I think of it. <br /><br />Since I type medical reports for a living, I'm surrounded by people's ailments, illnesses, surgeries, etc. I have started to be very grateful taht at the age of almost 57 I don't have any medical problems and am in pretty good health, as is my husband at 61 years old. It is amazing how many people in our age group have a long list of diagnoses and take an even longer list of medicine. I try to remember that when I get that occasional (okay daily) ache and pain. <br /><br />My only contemplation seems to be "where did the years go?" <br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1078324787471983933.post-5895681163428471732014-08-31T13:44:54.160-04:002014-08-31T13:44:54.160-04:00Concentrating on the hair...
