My mother came to visit all last week. 95 and still sharp as a tack. 
What a memory. Filled in all the names and birth dates of all kinds of relatives clear back to the 1800's. 
I hope my mind stays with me at that age.
Pay no mind to the guy who needs to trim his beard.

You are both beautiful @squatting dog! You're so lucky to have your mom, for many more years, I hope!

Yep, 1942 was the year that the two of us blessed the world LOL.
I'm there, too. Should we be proud that we are unique or embarrassed that we are still taking up space?

Well, Gennie, as long as can contribute cogently to a social discussion, share our continued love of family and hopefully pass on to whoever requests it, some wisdom we've acquired through the ages, we can be proud. More like delighted to be here yet, I think. We belong to a unique club if you think about it. If I had stuck to my guns, what a book I could write.

I couldn’t find the numbers for 82, but my last class reunion was pretty sparse.

Pappy, those of us in our 80s are considered obsolete I guess. Folks don't know what they are missing. I was already starting kindergarten when you were born in '38.

You're good looking SD. Your mom stands straight @ 95, I wish I'd look as fab IF I reach that age. I can't wait till I get to 70s to get my "license" to lose my filters so I don't worry about being PC.My mother came to visit all last week. 95 and still sharp as a tack.

1933, I think in this day and age, quite a few. Some I went to school with are still around. I graduated 70 years ago from high school, but due to the pandemic we will have no reunion.
