You are NOT old. When I was a baby, my mom took me to see Dwight D. Eisenhauer and he waved at me. I was a year old. Eisenhauer was president.

THAT is old. LOL

Hugs,
JoAnn

I agree: you're not old, Mary! Also, you know the saying: you are as old as you feel. What sometimes makes me like 60 (more than double). I liked the idea about the yeat, btw, got to check it out!

And I named the lawyer in Hot Shot Gina Black. Just came to me for some reason ;)
