Family Reunion


We all got together Saturday for the first time since 1979. Barry and his family flew out from TX CA on vacation and spent a few days at Sherry's house. Pam and Matt flew in from MA, Judi and Mom drove across town and I drove over from AZ. Barry had his younger kids with him. My daughter Megan picked up Ryder in NV. Rachel came up with Barry and Genelle. Other's were there and I enjoyed their company. Fun was had by all. I have a great family. God Bless them all.

When I'm sixty-four

















I woke this morning with this song on my mind.

When I get older losing my hair,
Many years from now.
Will you still be sending me a Valentine
Birthday greetings bottle of wine.

If I'd been out till quarter to three
Would you lock the door.
Will you still need me, will you still feed me,
When I'm sixty-four.

You'll be older too,
And if you say the word,
I could stay with you.

I could be handy, mending a fuse
When your lights have gone.
You can knit a sweater by the fireside
Sunday morning go for a ride.

Doing the garden, digging the weeds,
Who could ask for more.
Will you still need me, will you still feed me,
When I'm sixty-four.

Every summer we can rent a cottage,
In the Isle of Wight, if it's not too dear
We shall scrimp and save

Grandchildren on your knee
Vera Chuck & Dave
Send me a postcard, drop me a line,
Stating point of view

Indicate precisely what you mean to say
Yours sincerely, wasting away
Give me your answer, fill in a form
Mine for evermore.

Will you still need me, will you still feed me
When I'm sixty-four.
And guess what, tomorrow I'll be sixty-four. I'm glad it's only a short seperation.
