Beat you to it by 53 weeks - welcome to the club! Would you prefer us to registered you as an “Old Codger” or a “Curmudgeon”?
Not really a GD fan, but, “What a long, strange trip it’s been.” [And I wouldn’t trade a moment of it for all the “friends” on Facebook.]
“Death closes all: but something ere the end,
Some work of noble note, may yet be done,
Not unbecoming men that strove with Gods. . . .
Tho’ much is taken, much abides; and tho’
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved heaven and earth; that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.”
Again, congratulations, and may you have many more wonderful years to come.
I don’t know of anything where 60 is the cut-off, but at 62 you can buy a lifetime senior pass to the National Parks for ten bucks (if they haven’t raised the price by then).
CH—Happy Birthday!
60 is a great milestone.
Some don’t get the privilege, so relish the moment.
And be thankful you never received a Darwin Award!!!!!
You going to have a Lutheran potluck dinner tonight??
60 is the new 45 or 50. I got you by just over a year.
I lost about 30 lbs when I got away from behind that desk at the end of 2011.
Happy Birthday, Pastor!
When my Father was about 93, though in pretty good health for his age, he told me it was hell getting old. I told Dad, at your age the alternative to getting older isn’t so good.
Fifty is nifty! Congratulations!
Although, Catherine of Aragon, I thought you were more like 527.
Most people can't believe I'm as old as I am. The other day someone said, "SIXTY?!? How is that possible?" And I said, "By being born on March 7, 1953, and hanging around."
Happy Birthday and God Bless!
From the late Henny Youngman:
Doctor: “You’re in perfect health. You’ll live to be sixty.”
Patient: “Doc, I AM sixty.”
Doctor: “See, what did I tell ya.”
I hope so. My own 60th birthday is coming up in a few months.
Recon the zone and let me know what you think. If you don't like 60, then I think I'll pass :-)
Happy Birthday, it’s my birthday too, so we a twins!
Congrats, and many happy returns of the day.
I envy you. I walked down the wrong side of the road until I was nearly 40.
Lotta wasted votes and much disillusionment in that time, but fortunately, my core values eventually led me home.
Is that so? Well, I'm impressed. You're a sharp cookie for such a young whippersnapper.
Happy Birthday, Cathy!
LOL, that’ll do it
Aww (blush)
Thank you, Windflier, my friend.
Well, a girl never tells her true age. I just wear it well. ;)

Rev. Charles Henrickson
finally comes to this
day (there's no doubt!),
Scorched by the flames from the
candles ablaze, which the
sexagenarian
now must blow out!
Happy birthday! Count the happies, not the birthdays!
I hit the big 5-0 later this month. Not sure how I feel about that, yet.
