Random Conversation Sixteen

"When you are as old as I am, , ,", Rocky told me at breakfast.

I bet we are in the same decade," I replied.

"I am seventy-one," said Rocky.  "How old are you?"

"I am eighty-one.  If I were a year younger or you were a year older we would have been in the same decade."

(My daughter met Rocky later.  She told me Rocky looks older than I do.  Ivy is a sweetheart.)

Chuck, not enough money in the world to make a trade. I am blessed to have two loving daughters, Ivy and Ann.

She was just being truthful...71 year old thinks an 81 year old is younger than he...well there you have it.

Grace, you know I am eating up all this flattery. Honestly, my little sister, Ilene, below probably summed it up: good genes.

Ilene, I think that is the reason and it is something I totally had no control over.

Marsha, or her mother and I didn't raise any slow-witted children!
