Roy what a coincidence that the aging seminar is happening on May 5th. It is my 56th birthday on the 5th. We went to the international house of pancakes a few months ago and their "senior" menu was for over 55. I sort of felt insulted even though I got a discount.

 

Anyway. Here is to getting older and seeing more flowers and reading  and enjoying life.

That's what I need, Roy. We have a health expo coming up soon which will have several senio-targeted booths.

Roy: This is a good opportunity for Montgomery County residents to get screened, enjoy some fellowship, and gain some knowledge at the same time.

Roy, I have to stop and think that I am now a senior and need to go to events like these. Maybe that is how you stay young by learning the tricks.

It is sometimes a good idea to revisit old blogs and reblogs. We might even find some good ideas for new posts.
