..i turned 70 in the middle of lockdown so at least i was spared the party thing. Happy birthday.. i do hope its a great day for you...

When my Mom turned 60, she told everyone she was living on borrowed time. lol She lived to be 86. Great example for me!

May this be only the beginning.

Thanks!

its not too late.

Enjoy the week with your daughter!

There is just no further denying that I am an old man....Don't get me wrong, I am not complaining about getting old, I just didn't ever think that it would happen.

I thought I'd be dead by 35, but it didn't happen, so I keep sticking my head out of the fox hole a little more each year

I hit the big 7-0 earlier this month.

Thanks!

I forget to.

If I hadn't been kneading the bread, I wouldn't have thought of it.

All of the aunts and uncles are gone, so my generation is at the top of the tree

and I'm having some this week! lol

...just get yourself a good mixer and you can keep making bread until you're 100

Happy Birthday! 🎂

I have one, but I still like kneading the bread. Such a good time to think and get in touch with myself

... you are actually the timeless witness of the calendar, clock and changes; the changeless awareness that is at the center, the true nature of "Self".

BTW, when I was your age, I was seventy-too.*

Hat tip to the entertainer/ comedian from I first learned the joke (best heard, not read) in my 10's.

And thanks! I might use that, if I see any of my older friends any time soon

I've written a few short stories, but I realized any book I tried would take my whole life to write

YOU go!

And thanks! Hope you love your new home

I started a booth at a vintage market, soft opening Sat.

When I was a kid I thought that my parents were old when they were in their 40’s. Now that I’m 42, I don’t feel at all that I’m old.

I feel that I’m starting to be more adventurous and crazier the older I get. I’m sure I’m going to slow down and want to get settled down again at some point, but I’ve been “settled down” since my youngest daughter was born and I have a lot more life to experience.

I've had the weight of the world on my shoulders many times over the years, and felt done. Right now, feel like the world is my oyster, if I'm in the mood

The kids will keep you young. I'm lucky to live near my grand kids and have been with them daily or weekly since they were babies. Now my teen grand is taller than I am, and my tween grand is looking me in the eye.

It is funny you should about how I feel. I remembered when I was in grade school, I calculated how old I'd be in 2022. So my younger self is right there with me, amazed

A few changes on the outside, but still having fun. I 'll be 74 in a couple of months lol. My dad died at 59, mother at 103. I think I still have a good 20 or so more years. Happy Birthday! Words of advice...Keep thinking you're young and you will stay young.

and happy early birthday to you!

No more birthdays beyond 70.

I’m Level 74 now.

And health allowing get those 10,000 steps a day. I do 5000 in the AM & same in afternoon sometimes using a rowing machine. Once we slow down, it’s more difficult to get up and go. My experience.

Welcome to the club!!!!

Happy 70th Leveling Up Day
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Although the great leveler is kind of a game changer I was taking a exercise course on zoom, but they ended that. I don't want to go into the class-all r's and I'd do better exercising on my own. Thanks for reminding me to keep it up!

I entered in April.

lol!

Just better Thank you!

I just adjust the timing and sometimes get out all my ingredients and premeasure the day before and then mix, knead etc. bake the next day. Sometimes an overnite rise in the fridge breaks it up also. I also do that with a lot of my more complicated cooking recipes. Home made bread rocks all the senses and keeps you young.
Not sure about the young part but that's my hope.

I sometimes get things ready before I start. I'm glad to hear you are still baking. There is a lot of satisfaction in turning out a tasty delight. My daughters bake, and they make everything delicious and pretty.

Invited everybody that’s been nice to me since we moved to Costa Rica.

I can’t believe everyone showed. Including the fruit guy from the corner, the guy who fixed my cell phone ( he brought me flowers ) and the guy who took us on our Visa runs to Nicaragua.

All the other expats.

It was so much fun.

PS. My dad lived to 93. So 🤞🏻

I love unexpected presents. It'll be a fun week for sure

Happy belated!

(I turned 71 a couple weeks ago.)

and thanks!

long enough to stretch for miles until it gets right past my window where most mysteriously it will get bites taken out of it, about 2 per every drink of coffee!

Watch for it to come by

And as the Grateful Dead said -“what a loooooong strange trip it’s been!”

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/What_a_Long_Strange_Trip_It's_Been

I can't trade anything, but I've had some great moments, and will probably have a few more May as well enjoy the ride.

take advice from someone who has.

for 65 years. I'll be 70, she is turning 29. Again. lol

and thanks!

Our bodies start to believe the lies we tell it, it's best we tell it good things only
I see you baking bread for your family until you're well past a 120

my children will continue the tradition

And the story of my rolls will never die! lol

It keeps getting better...

I'm listening to my grandaugther doing her zoom piano lesson. It does get better and better

I turn 70 at the end of October and I intend to celebrate in some way. My husband passed 2 years ago. It’s terribly sad but I understand I need to move forward and I intend to do so, just not sure in which ways, but it will happen. Again, happy birthday!

I really don’t think about it got way too much to do.

Happy Birthday!

I cook and bake a lot and hope I can keep doing it. Will be 75 next month. Read once about a poll of 90-yr-olds being asked how 90 felt. They all agreed it felt no different than 70. So, there is that.

It is time to start ticking things off the old bucket list and enjoying them. Those memories will provide smiles in the decade that follows.
