BIRTHDAYS........



AS YOU KNOW I HAD A BIRTHDAY LAST WEEK AND TURNED 60. I SUPPOSE I SHOULD BLOG ABOUT THAT.......

I DON'T KNOW IF I SHOULD LOOK BACK AND TELL YOU STORIES OF MY WEEK LONG 40TH BIRTHDAY BASH, OR LOOK FORWARD AND PUBLISH A "BUCKET LIST".

IN REALITY TURNING 60 IS A LOT LIKE TURNING TWELVE. AT TWELVE YOU'RE STILL NOT A TEENAGER, YOU STILL CAN'T STAY OUT AT NIGHT AFTER THE STREET LIGHTS COME ON, YOU'RE TOO YOUNG TO GET A JOB, AND YOU CAN'T DRIVE A CAR.

AT SIXTY, YOU'RE TOO YOUNG TO BUY A NATIONAL PARK LIFETIME PASS, TO EARLY FOR MEDICARE, STILL HAVE A JOB, AND SOCIAL SECURITY SEEMS LIKE A DREAM.

AM I OLD? NOPE, MY GRANDMA RECHSTEINER DIED JUST BEFORE SHE TURNED 106 YEARS OLD, SO I'LL CONCEDE THAT I'M OVER THE HILL AND HALF DONE.

AM I GOING TO MAKE ANY CHANGES? NOPE, I'VE LOVED CAMPING SINCE THE DAYS OF THE OLD RED TENT, CANYON CAMP, AND THE SHADOW CRUISER.


AM I HAPPY? YUP,COME ON OVER AND LET'S HAVE A COLD BEER AND HEAD ON OVER TO HOOUCH'S FOR TACOS !!!

"SUNNY & 80" (ALMOST)
