Chevy - didn't Dodge have something like an "overdrive" that was the pre-curser to automatic? Oh that's too long ago to remember.
Sandra - good to see you. How was the rest of your short beach break? How is Mike doing? And how are YOU doing?

Morning Minus! I don't really know.... or remember... Ha! I know my Dad had a 1951 Buick, and I drove his car sometimes, to go cruisin' the Scotchman drive-in restaurant...
This was in 1955, and that's where I met my Husband to be.... I drove in, with my silly girl-friends, and he was already parked there, sittin' LOW in his seat, so I pulled in next to him.... He looked casually over and said "Big car ya got therre..." And I said "I'm a big GIRL!" And we all laughed... then we all left, and met up on Inspiration Point, and they got in my car, and we looked at pictures in each other's wallets.... HA! That sounds SO funny now! But we started dating, and 1 1/2 years later we got married.... 57 years ago....

Happy Birthday Ducky!
Chevy, I love your picture and the story about how you and your hubby met!
The sun is shiing here and hopefully we will be able to golf later today. I am going to use that as an inspiration to get myself moving and finish us a few of the things that still need to be done inside this morning. Funny how I now need inspiration and in my earlier years I just dug in and got it done and then moved on to the next chore. :-)

Happy Birthday. Yes, it sounds old, but how does it feel? I look on each birthday as a triumph - made it another year.

Wren....thank you, and yes your right................I laughed and said 79 didn't sound too bad........but 80, wow into another decade.........
But how many can say that.............I'm one of the lucky ones so far...........wish that for all my ladies here........

Well, age as they say is just a number. It's an important one but like you Wren -- I see it as an accomplishment. I also have had the attitude for a long time that I'll be here on this Earth as long as I'm supposed to be.
My hope for all of us is that we can enjoy life as much as it is possible and that whatever comes our way we can maintain some dignity ( while having plenty of fun, of course ) and be happy and grateful for all we have -- even if it is just a smile from someone or a cheery card in the mail. You will always be important to someone and I just want to be able ( even if I don't know who they are ) to honor that fact and not forget.

Chevy! You and your husband are SO cute! You both like you should be in Photoplay or one of the cool movie magazines I used to read. Your date was so innocent. Things have sure changed.
Happiest of birthdays, Ducky.

We're still doing ok. I'm trying to get rid of the remnants of the flu so I don't have lots of energy yet. I quarantined myself and wore a mask if I had to come downstairs so Mike didn't get it. Good thing because he had a little sinking spell the past week, but felt good today so he's on his way back up. Holding our own here.

Sandra, good to hear that you and Mike are holding your own.

Good Evening. I saw my ONC today. News is not good. I have mets to my liver. I have two spots. I will have a PET scan on Tuesday and then see the ONC again on Wed. We will stay at the Hope House.
My ONC is hoping that it is the same cancer as was my breast cancer, he says it is easier to treat. Here we go again. It has been 4 years. We are all pretty shook. Will do the best I can to fight it.
Hugs to all. Going to try and go to bed if I can get my brain to shut down.

Mommarch, We never seem to be able to leave it behind. So sorry, hoping they are able to get you back in remission.

We can learn to trust ourselves by inquiring within. To practice
doing this, sit quietly, close your eyes, and for a minute focus your
attention on your breathing. Gently visualize your inner wisdom as
a graceful butterfly. Admire her beauty, and encourage your
butterfly to sit on your shoulder and whisper her wisdom
in your ear. Be still and listen.Sue Patton Thoele
