Well, if someone had of told me when I was 20 that I'd live to see 70 I'd have called them a liar especially since my Dad died in 1966 of a massive heart attack at age 45! That was 2 weeks before my 21st birthday. That and all my aunts and uncles, etc on my Dad's side of the family either have heart trouble or are dead from it.

If I had of known I was going to live this long, I probably would have taken better care of myself when I was younger!

Life is good and every day above ground is a good one!

UPDATE: Well, here I am three years later @ 73 and I'm still kicking in spite of being diagnosed with Lupus, Poly Arthritis and Sjogren's Syndrome in the spring of 2016! I've learned how to live with Lupus WITHOUT the drugs, which is a plus and again..............Every day above ground is STILL a good day!!!!

So now I'll start working on making it to 74!!

Well, it's been another year and I did make it to 74 but there's been some changes in my health along with losing my best friend, David Brandt to kidney failure and congestive heart failure back in January.

Last winter the arthritis started coming back and now I'm looking to see a Rheumatologist within the next month or so and that will put me back on drugs again. That and back in April 2019 I was diagnosed with Vitreomacular Traction Syndrome in my eyes, which is age related and I'll let you look that one up to see where it's going.

Ennywho, in spite of the negative health stuff I'm still able to do our 1.4 mile walk in under 25 minutes so that's a good thing.

And the most important part is, I'm still watering the flowers instead of pushing them up!!

Laters...................

UPDATE: Well, here I am another year later turning 75!! 25 years ago I wouldn't have believed I'd live this long, but here I am!

Body health is pretty much "normal" and the Lupus isn't causing that much of a problem but I am starting to see some early signs of dementia as I'm forgetting words in the middle of conversations and short term memory is starting to suffer.

Oh well, I guess everything wears out eventually but all in all, life is good with my Darling Wife, Faye still here by my side!!

Here's looking for 76 next year!!
