When I'm 64

It's not a mop cap..it's a kat kidston shower cap!

The family came around last night for a belated celebration for my sister's birthday. You couldn't really tell that now she is in her mid sixties, she has far too much chutzpah for that and could never, ever be mistaken for one of those grey hairs, who watches Countdown with her slippers on, her pen and pencil at the ready.
Ann is our family's matriarch. She possesses an iron fist in a velvet glove kind of personality that would have "won the war" if indeed, she was living in 1945. and she is the constant backbone for a family which is now happily heading towards it's fourth generation
Happy Birthday Chuck
and we did enjoy your rendition of this little "ditty" last night!


"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 til'' quarter to three,
would you lock the door.
Will you still need me
will you still feed me,
when I'm 64!"

  9. When Paul McCartney turned 64 several years ago, it really brought home the incredible speed at which we age--and how irrelevant it is!

  10. Sis looks like a pip! Happy birthday from me, as well. As for the shower cap... baldness has its benefits! (What a good sport.)

  11. Rhyl Journal- A man in his early fifties,who has not been named was found in a dazed condition wandering around Trelawynd on Sunday afternoon, he was humming a Beatles tune and suffering from a dead leg and chinese burns to both wrists. Police are looking for a very attractive, slim, well dressed woman in her early 60's who was seen driving away a speed wearing a show cap.

  14. How come you get a fun sister, and I have a cranky, can't-stand-her kind of one? Not fair.

  17. "I could sit and "?" by the fireside . . . Sunday morning, go for a ride!"
    I can't remember what he does by the fireside.
    I came here looking for your "Sunday cheer" post, as it's grey and dismal here . . . but it's gone (?)

  19. Haha. It's funny you have this song. My hubby said the same thing to me, but had to add 'in four years' for me. ;o)

    Happy belated birthday to your Sister!

  20. Belated birthday greetings to Ann! I also had to sing along and laughed out loud at Ann's comment regarding the man in his early 50's and slim, attractive woman driving away in a shower cap.

  21. Happy Birthday Chuck, too. We are all as old as we feel and we should dress accordingly. I refuse to be old, so there.
