I Ain'T Dead Yet

Feeling fantastic today Caused by a number of reasons The main one... Heard from a dear friend That I thought I would never hear from again It has sent my spirits soaring Floating high above the clouds What a feeling... what a feeling Some might call me silly They think at my advanced age I should just sit in my old rocking chair And wait for that heavenly call NOT ME! Still got lots of living to do Still got lots of love in my heart to share I AIN'T DEAD YET © Jack Ellison 2014

The way you write... we know you're not any where near death... and it's hard to stay in touch... but go ahead and visit or write... Those old friends probably need as much fun and cheering as us... Dragon says if you're in for a penny, then be in for a pound and go to visit this bloke. Dragon ought to know... my new scale he did broke!... Yeah you Dragon!... Ha Ha! Spring is in the air and a good run around the lake should do us good... Errr... Dragon... You know I was only kidding, don't you?

Spring is taking it's own sweet time this year... and after that horrible winter, we're extremely impatient. Cool it Jack... it'll start to warm up soon! XOXOX
