This e-mail made me laugh and since we are going to see each other soon, I thought you might enjoy it. 

See you soon,
Carolyn


 
Perks of reaching 50 or being over 60 and heading towards 70!

1. Kidnappers are not very interested in you.

2. In a hostage situation you are likely to be released first.

3. No one expects you to run--anywhere.

4. People call at 9 pm and ask, did I wake you?

5. People no longer view you as a hypochondriac.

6. There is nothing left to learn the hard way.

7. Things you buy now won't wear out.

8. You can eat supper at 4 pm.

9. You can live without sex but not your glasses.

10. You get into heated arguments about pension plans.

11. You no longer think of speed limits as a challenge.

12. You quit trying to hold your stomach in no matter who walks into the room.

13. You sing along with elevator music.

14. Your eyes won't get much worse.

15 . Your investment in health insurance is finally beginning to pay off.

16. Your joints are more accurate meteorologists than the national weather service.

17. Your secrets are safe with your friends because they can't remember them either.

18. Your supply of brain cells is finally down to manageable size.

19. You can't remember who sent you this list.

And you notice these are all in Big Print for your convenience.

Forward this to every one you can remember right now!
And Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.

Wally, I have been gathering information and it is slowly coming together. In the next couple of weeks I will make headway. I have been slammed with video projects. I had a deadline to meet for Nashville.

Yes, i got your e-mail. I am sorry about your home. I hope you have been able to rebuild but I know you can never replace your treasures. My daughter's home burnt down to the ground in the middle of the night a few years ago. It was surreal but I was just thankful that everyone was alive but the kitty didn't make it. See you soon!
