Thursday #294 - For our Richard

[DJFyrewolf36]

A toast to dear friends, tell someone you love them today because it could be the last chance you get.

I love everyone on PT, you guys have been nothing but supportive through my struggles and you all have shared in my joys (speaking of joy, does anyone want to watch a cat play with a tennis ball? I've got one over here having a blast )

*HUGS* to you Richard and everyone! To me a hug is the greatest gift because they always fit and no one complains if you re-gift them to someone else.

David, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Here's to many more!

While were on the subject of sharing fond memories, let me share some about my dear grandmother. When I was little, I would spend a lot of time at my grandmas house when my parents were at work (especially when school was out for the summer). My grandmas yard had a pair of HUGE plum trees. I remember spending hours picking plums and eating them fresh from the tree. My grandma made the best plum preserves too Grandmas house to me was days spent outside, climbing trees or playing with all the toys that were at grandmas only She also had the coolest orange tabby cat ever. My parents had cats but they weren't nearly as friendly as old Boots. I think Boots really started me on the path to liking cats...now that I think about it Remus and Boots really have similar purrsonalites lol.

**knock knock**
Anyone home??? Is the bar still open?
It's early here.....just after 4:30am and I can't sleep. Got anything to help with this??? How about a Spanish Coffee????

**yawn** I think I'll just crash on the couch for awhile.

Gosh, I should've joined you, Slick. I couldn't sleep either. Well, I'm a little late so my hazelnut coffee will have to be w/out the Bailey's because it's morning now.

Richard, those are all great stories about your Mom. Keep 'em comin'.

David, turning 60 is like turning 59 or any other number. Doesn't hurt a bit.

As they say - old age isn't so bad when you consider the alternative!

Or - It's not how old you are - it's how you are old.

A neighbour of mine is in his early-mid 50s and thinks he is in an unemployable category because of his age.

I am 52 and started a new career as a computer tech!

there ya go....

Richard, I'd love a tortilla, it has to have avocado in it, and the rest is up to you - any cheese, meat and salad - but NO BEANS, please! And I'll have a Corona (or are they called Sol in Mexico) in honor of your mom. Unos Nachos con queso tambien, por favor?

David, don't worry! You won't feel your age, until the day after!

Slick, I'll join you on the couch - if you don't mind.
