Old Men…..

 Photo of the day:

 

Once on a visit to their home somewhere, Buddy & DI took us on a tour that included Sandia Peak that is  near Albuquerque.  Yeah they move a lot too!

This is the old man, I am sure I am younger than him. LOL

So for today:

Most men (boys) I know really liked the series, “Happy Days”. Most of us look back and think we were the ‘Fonz!’

There were a lot of boys I hung with and had a good time. BUT, but of course we all could not be ‘The Fonz’. However, watching the program each week we saw that the writers & producers were pretty good at including most character personalities of that time frame.

In my life, there was one threesome, VonDAle, Buddy (Richard) and Jack. Vonnie had a Motorcycle, and he was cool (we all were) LOL. .  Vondale and I hung together. Then a few years after us two met, Buddy came along. We all fit sorta like a glove and had a great relationship, never a falling out or gripe session. If we had a Fonz, it was Bud.

 

If you read Victor here, Blogsville, you see an OLD man who is witty and missed his calling as a priest.  Lately I read that Victor's priest looked forward to his confessions, (if for nothing more than the entertainment). I mentioned Victor because of his wit.  In our group, Buddy was the witty one, great with the great immediate comeback.

WE see each other seldom in our LATER years. But once at Bud and Di’s home in Florida, he said he read the Shipslog every day. Sherry and I mentioned lately,  we need to see Bud and Di on our next trip down to Florida.

And ‘just like that’ yesterday, I believe his first comment ever and it was Buddy to a ‘T’!

Wellllll......., tomorrow I will be as old as you, but until midnight tonight I'm still 85. I was gonna type something else but I forgot. I hope to see you guys before I become "Bud In The Mud" or before you become "Jack In The Box." Miss you two!!

Yep that is Buddy. The rascal found a young girl in the UK tricked her into marrying him and brought her to this side of the pond.  She is a sweet, loving and UNDERSTANDING lady, she must me, I KNOW Buddy!

 

Nite Shipslog
