THEY SEEM TO BE COMING FAST AND FURIOUS NOW WHETHER I WELCOME THEM OR NOT.

TODAY'S HAS A NINE AND AN EIGHT IN IT.  “STOP - GIVE me a chance to catch up.

I love the funny cards I get and the following is one of them: Everything hurts, and what doesn't hurt, doesn't work...

You feel like the morning after, and you didn't go anywhere the night before...

 Your knees buckle and your belt won't...

 You can only burn the midnight oil until 9 o`clock...

The twinkle in your eyes is the sun hitting your bifocals...

 Your back goes out more often than you do...

And another sure-fire way to know you're getting older is when ...

Cards like this start showing up on your birthday!

A friend picked me up and took me to lunch at Bonefish in Paramus. I had my favorate dish- twin lobster tails, garlic mashed potatoes, broccoli, a glass of merlot, and bread and butter. For dessert we had brownies with whipped cream and ice cream (mine came with a lit candle on it).

What a perfect birthday! I forgot to mention that my friend, Leisha, came to the house, before we left for lunch, with a beautiful bouquet of tulips. Joan, my lunch partner, presented me with a card and a beautiful Hyacinth plant that I can put in a pot until  the weather warms up a little when I can transfer it to my flower garden outside.  

I don't know how my 90th birthday next year can top this one.
