Picture or the day:
Now for today’s stuff:
Sherry and I were talking yesterday about our lives. We know we are Blessed (fortunate) to have lived this long. We have lived longer than any of those in our families.
(I mentioned the other day that when your age starts beginning with an 8, you know things. LOL and think too much........ maybe)
WE grew up eating a lot of fats. Over the years our diet modified. A few years ago, we were in a country store in Eastern NC and I noticed cans of Lard, on the shelves. I hadn’t seen that in many years. In our youth lard and bacon grease was used in many recipes one way or the other.
WE even made it to Pennsylvania. They grow some delicious Corn. We were introduced to PA by the Fletchers... ;-)
I am not saying that diet alone is our secret (If there is one). WE have been frugal most or our marriage. We avoided stress of debts that many of our friends faced. WE tried to practice, "If we cannot pay for it, we won’t buy it!”
In our family Drugs and alcohol have caused the most stress. You are so blessed if those have not interrupted your family life.
WE have stayed active and listened to old folks. I remember more than once a person over 100 saying, “Just keep moving!” I interpreted that to staying active.
Travel? Pictures are fine, movies are good and enough for many folks. For some reason, we wanted to experience and see places. That doesn’t make us any better, nor better off than someone who is satisfied with pictures, I still enjoy pictures of places I will never see in person.
I would love to see Australia, but I never will. Imma thinking Ireland is still a VERY small possibility.
I have met some who travel and they identify as Canadian when out of the USA.
