YOUTHFULNESS RESTORED

You have heard of the fountain of youth, you know the natural spring which revitalizes your body and you become young again. Well I have found it, and actually I have had it for four and a half years now. I never realized it was right at my finger tips. And the best part it was right in my backyard well down the street a little ways but it was here all along.

I should probably retract a little to explain this. Well those who read my blog know I have bouts of feeling old and have no energy. Life becomes a struggle and I feel very alone in my old decrepit body. Well that was a few months ago but now I have been given a new lease on life. I have found the proof I am still young. That's right back to the fountain of youth.

You may ask where is this fountain of youth and how can I get in on it. The answer is you can't as it was meant for only a few of us, today anyways. Today was grandparents day mt my granddaughters school and I was invited. I had a slow schedule so I opted out of work at noon to attend.

Well as I got there it did not take me long to realize all these people here were grandparents. Duh you might say it was grandparents day but you are missing my point. Most of them were old enough to be my grandparents. So you know where I am headed with this, I suddenly felt very young and revitalized in my way of thinking. I am still young even though I have grandchildren. I am not retired, I am not gray, I do not have the sagging cheeks, I have all my teeth, I do not need a walker to get around. Well lets just say I am way to young for all those things and I saw all those today at grandparents day.

So now that I am a spring chicken I feel like dancing around the neighborhood, and was getting my dancing shoe's on but JoAnne gave me that look, you know the one " if you do this you will never be associated with any of us again" OK you know the look, so I refrained from the dancing. But man do i feel great" And very young" Yee Haw

I have met other very young grandparents, like "Young Mom" you know who you are. I was just so happy to find out I was actually one of them. Yee Haw again.

On other fronts our band is preparing to play our yearly show at the July Stanley Cup party which is a yearly event among several friends. We have maybe twenty to thirty songs to choose from. I have to admit we are not very good, we have a ton of fun though and that is what it is all about for us. But this year our band well be rocking and sounding great, not because we got any better but because my son Darren will be joining us on stage this year. he is an awesome guitar player and even though we are not in his league musically he was thrill at the opportunity to play with the "YOUNG" old guys for a night. It will be a blast.

Before I leave you with my "Youthful Words" (come on I'm excited, give me a break) I want to say congratulations to "Young Mom's Daughter" as she took possession of her new home this week. She has not moved into it yet but I have heard threw the grapevine there will be orange on some of the walls. " I know she is new, she will figure out orange should never be part of a house" Just kidding ya, wish I were there to help paint. But I am in when the cupboards need replacing.

Thanks for reading and have a great night.
