How to tell If You’re over the Hill

Your arms are almost too short to read the newspaper.

You buy shoes with crepe rubber soles.

The only reason you’re still awake at 2 a.m. is indigestion.

People ask you what colour your hair used to be.

You enjoy watching the news.

You have a dream about prunes.

You have more than 2 pair of glasses.

You read the obituaries daily.

You wear black socks with sandals.

You know all the warning signs of a heart attack.

    The sun is shining, my heart is singing and I am off for a walk! Happy Sunday.

    Chris, are you ready for a hot toddy as well? Steph will be up in a minute, as soon as the kettle is boiled, so come on over.
