Closing in On Being An Octogenarian

Any more it's becoming harder to celebrate birthdays on the actual birth day with busy schedules.

We had a fun evening together, eating pizza and cake after the usual chorus of, "Happy Birthday" being sung. I told my wife to keep the center candles and use them again in nine years.

I know I had a shudder when I realized I would be 76 next month. Lead the way for me so I know there is still photography in my life.

[Krista Marson]

Age is just a number....so they say Lovely cake

That's an optimistic statement about the candles. A lovely cake. Hope it was as tasty as it looked. Happy Belated Birthday. If your day is on the 2nd you and a good friend of mine share the date.

@blueberry1222 - Sometimes I get accused of acting like an 17 year old, but in reality I am not. But I like how you think!

@joansmor - Yup don't let a few birthday celebrations get in the way of you enjoying your past time

[Skip Tribby - ​🖖]

@randystreat - I'm never accused of being optimistic. My glass has always been half empty. Maybe my perspective has changed!

@ankers70 - Oh yes. It was an ice cream cake. We ate the last of it last evening.

@ollyfran - I have heard that the people who celebrate the most birthdays live the longest.

@beryl - Thank you! It was a fun time together. Two of my grandchildren who live far away from me also called to sing, Happy Birthday to me. That's always special.

@robz - I really did. Thank you!

[Skip Tribby - ​🖖]

@robz - I must be over the hill because I'm picking up speed. You might be right though. It's taken me a good while to get here! 😊
