Our new Portrait

We are so lucky to have the great friendship of Gus and Marilyn Lopes. And now we find out that Marilyn is a great artist as well a superb chef.
She recently made the portrait you see us holding in the photo below.

I know you cannot read the poem she added to it so I am putting it here so you can read it clearly.
.

We cannot see,

We cannot pee,

We cannot chew,

We cannot screw,

Our hearing stinks,

Our memory shrinks,

No sense of smell,

We look like hell.

The Golden Years are here at last ......

The Golden Years can kiss our ______ !!!!!

And here is  close up of the picture so you can see it more clearly.

It sure is wonderful having friends like them!!

Father's Day

Carol and met with John and Mary Lou Serafin to go to dinner today to celebrate Father's Day. I have known John for about 70 years ... yes, 70 years!! We were both raised in Trafford, PA and lived about 1 block from each other. John was 2 years ahead of me in school but the class size in Trafford at that time was about 45 in each class. Every one knew everyone else in  our town of 2500, at least by name if not personally.
We chose to go to Rosebud's for our dinner and here we all are waiting for our dinner.

Since we have known each other for such a long time we spent much of our time talking about the "good old days" and everyone we knew in Trafford. It is amazing that we can spend so much time talking about such a small town!!
All of our dinners were excellent and Rosebud's is a superb place to have dinner in our area, Carol and John had veal liver and onions which may sound strange to some people, but all of us like it. Maybe that is some of the Trafford heritage!!

Here we are again, toasting each other!!
It was a wonderful way to spend a special day with special and wonderful friends.
