I don't know?

Okay, I know the secret to long life. A kid was asked, “Why do you think some people live a long life and get real old?”
After a pause and deep concentration she said “It is probably because they forgot to remember to die.”

Can’t be more truthful than that. I think some folks just enjoy life so much. They love their family and friends so much they do not think about death. Now I hope you understand I am not taking a terrible life taking disease into account. (BECAUSE, If one of the mean ones get a hold of a person it takes them whether they are good or bad, rich or poor, famous or unknown!) That is something we have all have seen, some closer than others.

I took the time to inform my sons that as of Oct 17th, I had lived longer than my Dad. Jack e-mailed me back and said now give us 20 more. The way I feel now I can do that.
Most of you that read the Blog know Sherry and I live a mobile life. At present we are in Florida with all the old folks. More are showing up daily as it cools off in the North Country. Canadians and New Englanders are showing up. Wisconsin and Minnesota are next. Although some of those OLD folk spend their winter in Texas. I don’t know if stress takes its toll on you guys that stay behind or not but we rest better I think. I have mentioned it before, probably too often, but if I remain in NC, close to the family, I tend to want to run their lives. I can’t keep my nose out of their business. I want to fix everything. It has taken awhile, but it finally got through to me, if they want advice they will ask. And also, in this life we make our own mistakes and a big part of life is working through them. I think that is good advice, I just cannot assimilate it into my psyche.
Texican border or Florida? That is the question asked me a lot. I think the Snow Bird is more welcome on the border. Florida has become more tourist oriented and the Snowbird is getting in the way just a little. I just heard from Joan. She and Dick stay around Yuma in the winter. I think she is getting ready to go. I don’t think Dick wants to go until it gets too cold to golf out there in Utah. BTW they are the other Great-Grandparents of Elsie Mae.
I haven’t said anything yet, but I am out of space. Thanks for coming this way!
