Getting Old and Pickles

Ron is going to turn 60 in 2010! I have been making arrangements for his celebrations, we are going to celebrate all year in fact.

Sometimes I worry about getting old!

I love the Pickles Cartoon. The old couple have been married for 50 years. They are so funny and so real!

Getting old sometimes seems really bad. I can' see very well. I have so many aches and pains. I don't know where all these wrinkles came from! And the grey hair...!

But getting old has it's rewards too. Our kids are grown and out of the house. We get to spend our money on ourselves or the grandkids, because that is really fun too. Cooking for two is easy.
The peace and quite is wonderful, no fighting!

Young parents, do not dispair, your reward will come in 20 years or so!

I Loved the cartoon, too. I will start checking for it in Sundays Paper. You are right on about getting old, aging can be painful, but the rewards are well worth the wait!

Hi Mrs Donna! sometimes I think about getting old, and how I might be sad when the kids are grown up, and moved out...but then the dreams of Danny and I taking a Harley cross country kick in. LOL It will be strange to just be the two of us.
