Where are we today ?
Today is my big day! And I am so Happy, turned 65 years old. Why happy? Never ever thought I would live this long for one thing. I am relatively healthy, I am living my lifelong dream with an amazing woman who loves me and our lifestyle. AND now our government starts paying me a pension, and pay for prescription drugs just for being old, so far I like being old. Officially a senior and even get senior discounts. They already pay our healthcare. It took a long time but now I have a paycheck. Not huge but a lot more than we have had since we quit work in 2006.
a few age related sayings I like
I am Chronologically gifted
I'm not old, I am youthfully Challenged
Inside every older person is a younger person saying what happened?
I did not change much over the years, did I, haha.
19 years old |
35 years old |
65 years old this picture was taken by a good friend Monique |
We even had a bit of entertainment as well. This coach below got himself a little stuck in a place he should not have been, but this small tow truck was able to winch them out, no problem
Then for my special birthday meal I whipped up one of my very favourites, suicide chicken wings, homemade fries, celery, carrots and blue cheese dip. A great price, so tasty, done the way I like them and awesome company!
Fry Daddy and Weber Q at work |
sure took care of my craving |
This is my cake before the icing went on, not ready to eat it yet but want to finish this posting.
only two candles, but I was able to blow them both out and make a wish |

Thanks Rick and Kathy.
DeleteHappy Birthday! Sure looks like you are having fun:)
ReplyDeleteAlways having a good time.
DeleteYou are officially a 'senior'. And you get a wage increase too. And....you had you cake and ate it too. Now, that is a very good day, Happy Birthday, George.
ReplyDeleteIt was a awesome day, how can you beat that?
DeleteHappy Birthday!! Nice to see you look at less serious than when you were younger!
ReplyDeleteWhen I was younger I had to work for a living.
DeleteHappy Birthday George. You haven't aged a bit.
ReplyDeleteMaybe not in my mind I haven't. Thanks Bill.
DeleteHappy Birthday, George! That Birthday Cake looks great.
ReplyDeleteYummy cake a rare treat for me.
DeleteWell, happy birthday to you. There definitely are some perks that come along with old age but remember you're only as old as you feel. For some reason I'm thinking you feel pretty young!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY.
ReplyDeleteI always feel young, but I know enough not to push myself too hard.
DeleteHa,ha, thanks guys .
ReplyDeleteSticky icing on the cake????
ReplyDeleteNo, that would have way to much then. Still was pretty good.
DeleteWay to go George. You don't look a day over...... Are you sure you're only 65? Just kidding.
ReplyDeleteThanks Larry.
DeleteIts been a rough life like I said amazed I made it this far!!
Glad you had a very Happy Birthday and it's even better when you get a check to go with it!

DeleteI skip reading Blogs for one day and look what happens. Happy Birthday George! The Big Six Five! Now you start getting some of that tax money that you have paid over the years back.
ReplyDeleteThanks Croft, want to get as much as I can too.
DeleteDear lucky George! Congratulations from both of us. You are an inspiration for everyone. Stay that lucky and you live until you are 100yrs.
ReplyDeleteThanks Peter and Bea.
Delete100 would be fine as long as we can keep travelling !!!!
Very happy birthday George!! Great dinner - let us know how you did that cake on the Weber. ;-)
ReplyDeleteNo cake on the Weber, but the store has great one's, that did the trick.
DeleteHappy 65th George. You look fabulous in your last photo and so happy. Hope you take some of your first cheque and tret yourself to something you wouldn't normally do. You deserve it.
ReplyDeleteThanks Contessa, I love being happy, is there any other way?
DeleteNot sure what we can do that I would enjoy more than what we are doing now.
Happy Birthday, George. Great looking barbequed food, as usual. We're sure enjoying our little Weber Q, thanks to you and the fine example you set.
ReplyDeleteThanks Russ, glad you enjoy your Weber Q, its an amazing cooking machine.
DeleteWishing you Happy Birthday, George! Just so you know, I've read every entry on your blog and have enjoyed it all! Blessings, Lynn (your fellow blogger)
ReplyDeleteThanks Lynnie, I am impressed thats over 1,600 postings in almost 9 years!
DeleteThanks for following.
Yes George, it was a lot of postings and it took me some time, of course. So, I didn't see the point in making any comments, with dates of postings so long ago. However, I live in Windsor, Ontario and would love to do what you both do... travel in an RV. I pray you had a wonderful special day on your birthday. Blessings... Lynn
DeleteGlad you enjoyed it, I have always said if you want to do it bad enough you can make it happen, there is always a way. They day was perfect!
DeleteHappy, happy birthday, George. You look pretty close today to that 19 yr old young man.
ReplyDeleteGlad you have Suzie along to enjoy the ride.
Haha that was another lifetime at 19 married with 2 children then, working three jobs.
DeleteNow Suzie she is awesome!
All the best.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday !!
ReplyDeleteThanks bunches.
