Birthday Boy

Yes...it is my birthday and I am late getting to that place I go to. Well I can see this day is not going to be much different from all the others. I have to race out of here now but I will add more to this when I get to that place.

I am at that place and ready to add more goodies to the journal. On the way in this morning while weaving in and out of the NASCAR traffic I received a phone call from Jenny J one of my close chat friends on RV-Dreams.com. She had called me to wish me a happy birthday. Jenny that was soooo sweet of you to get up at 5:00 am and call an old guy like me. It was 7:00 am here and I was almost to my turn off. We talked for some time about my age Social Security and my trip that I am planning to the North Western United States...where Jenny just happens to live. We had such a good conversation and when I pulled into my parking space we said our good-byes and agreed to meet again tonight on chat. Oh and by the way Jenny...thanks so much for posting my photo on your blog. I now see this will probably be the last Birthday I get any calls or cards...once they see me for what I really am...LOL

Being that this is my Birthday... I want to let everyone know how much I appreciate all the cards and best wishes from all my Dreamer friends out there. It is so great to have made so many friends in the past two years on RV-Dreams Web site. And to think that they are scattered all over the USA and parts of Canada!

I received cards from:

Dee and Jim http://tumbleweed-jimdee.blogspot.com/
Sandra and Gordon http://srmerrikinblog.blogspot.com/
Jim and Ellie http://www.justravelin.blogspot.com/
Jesse and Ginger http://kram-a-lotinn.blogspot.com///
Ed and Marilyn http://mytripjournal.com/Dray-TheHappyWanderers&p=1
Mac and Nette's http://macandnette.blogspot.com/

I read all these Journals and enjoy them so much. I have another list that I read also and it keeps me very busy. Thanks to all the above for being so kind to me...I know it is because they feel sorry for me...TEE HEE

Charles (Roz) put a post on the forum about my birthday...I think he has a motive for doing that and I have yet to find out what it is. Thanks Charles and thanks to all that commented on the forum wishing me a happy day. Believe me you all make my day happy just knowing that I have you all for friends. Communicating on a daily basis with so many fine people ...all have like interest and being able to meet up as you travel through. Visiting and sharing day to day events with all of you makes my days go by quickly and leaves a smile on my face.

Sherri called me on her lunch break and wished me a Happy Day. Told me she long to be with me and that she was counting the moments that slowly ticked by. Oh how she wished that Thursday was here and that she could run to me like the two folks on that deodorant commercial coming into each others arms on the beach as the sun set in the background.
AHHHHH like no way did she even think those thoughts....It was more along the lines of Hey I am at lunch and we are eating lasagna and tossed green salad with Italian bread and all the trimmins....and whatcha eaten...Me?? Oh I am eating a hot dog with some chili and Frito's. Kinda broke off the diet for my birthday and the other 364 days....well I may do the same. I am also in Weight Watchers...I watch every ones weight and try to top them on the high side. So far I have been pretty successful.

You know it ain't so bad getting old really. I can forget what I want to and remember what I want to. I keep an uncluttered mind that way. I wish that I had some way to learn all of your birthdays out there. I would like to be able to send out wishes to all of you but I have no way of getting that information unless we all put that information on our profiles. I would not want to know your ages but it would be nice to know when someones birthday is so that I could send a card to you are post your picture on my journal...Jenny...So if I miss your birthday it is because I have no idea when it is.

Again I want to thank all of you for your kindness and wish you all a Happy Birthday....

Somewhere in Time.

Had no idea it was your bd. Kit and I don't get on the chat. Neither of us can type that fast and I am not a speller. I hung it up 5 years ago and started ss at 62. Your countdown is getting the job done for you. Good luck!
