IT'S MY BIRTHDAY TODAY - IN MY MIND I AM…

 In my mind I am 24, but my back is 55, my knee is 67 and my left hip turns 76 today.

A little humor for you on my birthday. 

Ostriches will often walk around and then forget where they are going. I have never related more to an animal in my life.


I am doing well with my prism prescription glasses and no longer see double (until I take them off).  This lady gave me a bit of a start when I did. It might take you a second or two, look at her hair above her face. For a minute I…

Thought this was a muppet.

An oldie but it still makes me laugh and I really am joking here, but my funny bone/quirky humor got a chuckle. 

The older I get, the more I understand why people live in the woods
and talk to squirrels.

I can be a bit naughty and that quirky humor can get me in trouble at times, but I do love squirrels.

“Hey, excuse me…but the Bird Feeder is empty.”

One of these does not care that I haven’t filled the bird feeder. Is he searching for his acorn? The other three aren’t telling and the one has forgotten he is supposed to put his hands over his ears, not up his nose! What's up with that then? Silly squirrel!
The fourth squirrel has arrived…he sees no one, hears no one and talks to everyone.”

And then there is this one.

“Happy Birthday lady, but can you now feed the squirrels, I mean birds.”


Okay, enough of squirrels, well almost enough.

Just look at her…the way she’s crawling to the coffee pot. Keep it up lady, you’re almost there.”

Ahhhh…

“Behold, the sacred brew has arrived.”

That’s enough of the squirrels for today. I am being taken out to lunch. I am not sure where yet, but I will tell you in a day or so.

Have a great Wednesday, 
thanks for dropping in and 
don’t forget to embrace 
your inner ostrich.

    May you stay healthy and creative—just as you are now—for many, many more years! That’s just how it is; the years fly by amidst the stress of daily life, and the mind barely has time to take it all in...

    The squirrels and your comments about them are so funny. I’d rather have dark humor than none at all.
