Wisdom from Grandpa...
Whether a man winds up with a nest egg, or a goose egg, depends a lot on the kind of chick he marries.
Trouble in marriage often starts when a man gets so busy earnin' his salt he forgets his sugar.
Too many couples marry for better, or for worse, but not for good.
When a man marries a woman, they become one; the trouble starts when they try to decide which one.
If a man has enough horse sense to treat his wife like a thoroughbred, she'll never turn into an old nag.
On anniversaries, the wise husband always forgets the past - but never the present.
A foolish husband says to his wife, "Honey, you stick to the washin', ironin', cookin' and scrubbin'. No wife of mine's gonna 'work'."
Many girls like to marry a military man - he can cook, sew, and make beds, is in good health, and already used to taking orders.
Eventually you reach a point when you stop lying about your age and start bragging about it.
Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me, I want people to know "why" I look this way. I've traveled a long way and some of the roads weren't paved.
How old would you be if you didn't know how old you are? (Like this one!)
You know you are getting old, when everything either dries up or leaks.
Old age is when former classmates are so gray and wrinkled and bald, they don't recognize you.
Have a GREAT day and keep laughing! It's good for the soul.
Better to be looking down at the grass then looking up.
The people who want to live to be a hundred are those that are ninety-nine.
We're all gonna get old... if we're lucky.
Shared. Thanks!
Iffin' y'all gots a fifty year old fart; see a butt doctor FRiend. :-D
Old folks boogie.... down on the farm...
Your mind mak’n promises your body can’t keep...
I’m going to be 60 on my next birthday in May—and it’s freaking me out.
Hope you’re on the mend and recovering from your nasty pneumonia and busted rib.
I spent the first eight years of my life on my dad’s dairy farm before he sold it and retired (he was in his middle 50’s and I wasn’t born until he was almost 46).
My childhood seems like a million years ago and the drastic changes I’ve witnessed in my life are breathtaking.
Praying to maintain my reasonably good health for at least another five years to enjoy PDJT KAG!!
When my dad was in his 90s he used to say it was hell getting so old. I always reminded him that the alternative at his age wasn’t so good either. I’m turning 70 tomorrow and have decided your best recompense for getting old is having grandkids. Blest with two grandsons this past summer and a four year old granddaughter.

Ain’t that the truth! It’s what keeps us young. I got five and some of the best times of my life are the ones I spend with them.
I loved it
Bump for later

You know your getting old when I attend a Boz Scaggs concert this week and people attending are using walkers and most have White or Gray hair and I turn to my wife and say sheesh these people are old :)
Old age is when you can’t remember a time when you sat down with out making a noise
