On Getting Old - 7

My wife and I attend a 7:30 AM mass on Easter. We’ve been doing this for years. Attendance was normally low, but the church has been crowded over the last couple of years. Hopefully the trend is towards more people coming back to the church.

Easter morning was quite cold. As we sat in the pew, Rosemary slid closer to me, and we pressed our shoulders together and held hands. Her warmth and support bolstered my spirits. A smile spread over my face.

What better candy can there be early this day.

Ciao

  2. I am quite late arriving here and I apologize. Wally, for petesake, if getting old means doing things like community theater and going to the Amazon,I'd say you have it over most middle-agers I know.
