Hello all,
My 60th Birthday today.
I would like to thank you all for the many birthday wishes !!
Although this piece was first written 3 years ago,
I think it deserves repeating today.
Many thanks, and y'all take care,
- Mark
Sixty
As I approached 50, I was
depressed.
And now, though it’s still
3 years away,
I race toward 60, and all
I’ve got
is a grand-daughter and a
great big smile.
She is sunshine and warm
hugs,
a romp around the
house. We turn chairs
and blankets into Princess
Castles,
then relax in Poppie’s
chair, and take a nap.
We make snacks out of
graham crackers,
and applesauce, maybe yogurt
out of a cup.
We mix batter and help
Gaga make pancakes,
with blueberries and
“Bo-nanas” on top.
We make a mess, and clean
it up,
and then we make another
one.
Think about 60 ?, no… I
smile and think about
my “Little One”…and next Saturday afternoon.
