Being old and feeling old is only in the mind of the person. That is why when asked my age reply....I'm a young 81.
Do have a Grandaughter age 32 (first grandchild) who is herself a mother of a 1 yr old girl.
I do remember as a 2-1/2 -3 yr old standing on my trilke....opening the gate lock...riding around the corner to the neighborhood bakery where I asked for the pastry (creampuffs).
The woman thought that my mother had sent me there so she put some in a bag...gave me one to eat and I rode home.
My mother quickly returned to pay for the pastry saying that I had gotton out of the locked yard.
Now this was in 1933-34 so "I am so old"....................
I remember when a pack of Marlboro was 79 cents, Schlitz 12oz beer was 50 cents, atari, commodore 64, pica/elite typewriter, and adult magazines were on shelves at stores.
