<div dir="ltr">Happy Birthday Ted!</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr"> Thank you for sharing your photos & some of your life experiences. Very interesting. You & Joe & my brother all having the 80th birthday the same day. Also interesting is how many folks in the world think of the age factor being such a big deal for the job of the President. Remember all the age flack during the pre election season last time around. Now the Trumper is just as old as Joe was then. <img title="Emoji" alt="Emoji" height="16" src="https://s.yimg.com/nq/yemoji_assets/latest/yemoji_assets/1f644.png" width="16" style="padding:0px 2px;vertical-align:middle"> Go figure. I wonder how loud the voices will be now. </div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr"> I just arrived home from Fayetteville, TN where I attended a surprise Birthday Party for my Brother, Dan, who also had his 80th birthday on the 20th. We are very fortunate to still have him with us and still riding his dirt bike through the trails with his pals. He survived a CODE BLUE heart attack this past summer, as well as two knee surgeries this past year. He is a tough little midget. </div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">I am so happy to have made the drive down & back, just me and my little Yorkie, with no problems except getting all tired from the drive. It was well worth it. I was able to have some quality time alone with him & my gift for him was a steak dinner. It was great just having some good old chat time away from everyone for the first time in years. Personally, my belief is age is more a frame of mind than years.Some folks think 74 year old gray haired women should not be out on such long road trips with just their 6 lb. ancient Yorkie! I say, nothing ventured, nothing gained.</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">I wish you a very happy, healthy year ahead to your 81st.</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">Peace,</div><div dir="ltr">Brenda Lisk </div><div><br></div>
