It's a Golf Cart From Now On

Gonna start using a golf cart to get around Till they finally read me my last rights Feeling a bit under par In golf terms, that's really good In health terms... hmmm not so good Don't be alarmed though Just the normal aches and pains Of old age creeping up on me Whatever happened to my golden years They were supposed be filled with Happiness, joy and laughter More like a double bogey for yours truly Definitely need a handicap... no wait I already have one, it's called old age! © Jack Ellison 2014>center>

Think my Dad's feeling it too. He's staying in Arizona this summer... I told him I'd fly him out here and he fussed with a He__ No! Stubborn old fart wouldn't let me or my brother Dale Drive him in his truck either!... A touch more child like than last year. That worries me... Him being sooo many states away... He talks good on the phone... but beginning to wonder if he needs someone around a little closer to check on him... He lives alone. But I want to give him his freedom for as long as possible... Decisions... Decisions...

Us old farts do tend to get stubborn as we age! So far, I'm still of sound mind and body BUT signs indicate that normal changes are on the way! Eventually, I'm sure he will realize he needs someone else around... we all do! XOXOX

Lol, something to look forward to. But you are a trooper, Jack. You just take it with strides. Hey, that;s better than walking. And the handicap space puts you right up front :) Get to spend the whole day in sunshine and doing nothing... Yeah!
