I went to the eye doctor yesterday. She told me I am developing cataracts. But she said me I shouldnt worry because I probably wont need surgery for another 20 years. I didnt have the heart to tell her that I wasn't worried because I will probably be dead in 20 years.

  • Bridget! Don't say that!



  • Elias, i will be 102 in 20 years. that's old.



  • You'll never see it coming....



  • Bridget, same thing happened to me! How did this happen? In my mind (and heart) I am three or so years younger than my youngest daughter. Lol.



  • Wait, Bridget, your math has to be off! 102? - no way!



  • i was born in 1911. I think I look pretty good for my age, dont you?



  • I was so confused...the math wasn't working out...too funny.



  • You know you will live another 50 years!!! Lol!


  • , I will not live another 50 years.

  • Don't put down a deposit...



  • Bridget,my mom is 84 years young and is more active now then when she was younger. You have more than 20 years left in you!



  • Stop it!



  • Domenic Pedante, yes and they come with beer coolers.




  • -I hope not, I only planned for a 20 year retirement. If i go longer than that, I will have to go back to work.



  • You, Vicki, Karen, Jaye and I can live in a compound and drink wine and watch Vicki try and find her keys and clothes!



  • Oh yeah, don't forget K.T.



  • Hopefully when your retirement runs out, it'll be after my wife and I set up our veteran's retreat in St. Croix! I know I could find a worthy job for you and it'll be in the Caribbean!

  • @dennis, I can be the beer master. Can I bring Fonda, Vicki, Jaye, Kt and Karen . They are a lot of fun.



  • Sounds like a plan!



  • Dom, she is getting old. Memory is always the first to go. She already promised me the kayaks. You can have the coolers.



  • @ K.T., you all can keep the kayaks and the tents! I'll keep the homemade sangria flowing! Oh, yeah, I will help Murph Dog find her keys!



  • Fonda, you can be the Vicki watcher, It was my job at5 Gabby' wedding. Exhausting!



  • Fonda,I forgot about the tens. Bridgey, can I have the teepee tent?



  • I'll be the cook at the retreat but I don't want any responsibilities other than making it restful, fun and filled with good drink and food.



  • You have to stop talking about your premature demise!



  • Still love your sense of humor



  • You r certifiably insane!!!

    • Like

  • Please remind me to kick your ass to the moon the next time I see you.

Just before Dawn on the Ganges River


Just Before Dawn 
on the Ganges River
Varanasi, India
July 2015

I went to India for my 60th birthday and wandered around the Ganges, this magical river.  By the time I left, I didn't see the magic and I was disheartened by the polluted waters.

A Storm Is About To Break



Great Sand Dunes National Park
Colorado
July 2017

We stood there, a short distance from our car and decided we should seek shelter immediately.  We didn't make it to the car before those clouds opened up and caused flash floods.

In the Sprimg of 2012, I taught in China for a semester.  I was teasing leadership skills to the young women in a university.  Six months after I left, I heard from Gloria. She sent me an email and, as always, I was so happy to hear from her.

> Dear Bridget,
Since I decided to pursue a further study of Master of Science in Marketing, I've been focusing on the personal statement and resume and the preparation for GMAT exam. The process is really difficult yet exciting. I begin to have fun in math which is a surprise to me! :
Life is treating me well. Do you know about the Springfield College? what do you think of it?  If you have leisure time, would you please consider looking at my resume? I have revised tens of times and look forward to professional

This is why I finally sold my house and moved in to an apartment.

Well, I am sitting here, watching the plumber bring in a 50 foot snake drain which he told me just increased my bill by $100. And then I just heard him mutter, under his breath, "Holy Shit." Things don't look good here. I am getting a bad feeling.
