Cliff,
Many congratulations on your special birthday today and plenty of celebrations with family and friends 

This is the view over Pewsey Vale... a quintessential view of English countryside and a favourite spot  :)

Many, many, many thanks Robin ... such a beautiful card ... apart from the very large number on it, of course!   :-* :-* :-*

I'M SIXTY TODAY
And proud of it!

I'm the life of the party... even when it lasts until 8 p.m.

I'm very good at opening childproof caps with a hammer.

I'm usually interested in going home before I get to where I am going.

I'm good on a trip for at least an hour without my aspirin, G & T, and antacid.

I'm the first one to find the bathroom wherever I go.

I'm awake many hours before my body allows me to get up.

I'm smiling all the time because I can't hear a word you're saying.

I'm very good at telling stories. Over and over and over and over.

I'm aware that other people's grandchildren are not as bright as mine.

I'm so cared for - long term care, eye care, private care, dental care.

I'm not grouchy, I just don't like traffic, waiting, crowds, children, politicians.

I'm positive I did housework correctly before my wife retired.

I'm sure everything I can't find is in a secure place.

I'm wrinkled, saggy, lumpy, and that's just my left leg.

I'm having trouble remembering simple words like...uh???...uh.

I'm now spending more time with my pillows than with my Sue.

I'm realizing that aging is not for sissies.

I'm anti-everything now: anti-fat, anti-smoke, anti-noise, anti-inflammatory.

I'm walking more (to the bathroom) and enjoying it less.

I'm going to reveal what goes on behind closed doors. Absolutely nothing!

If you are what you eat, I'm cherry yoghurt and All Bran.

I'm sure they are making adults much younger these days.

I'm in the initial stage of my golden years.

I'm wondering, if you're only as old as you feel, how could I be alive at 150?

I'm supporting all movements now...by eating bran, prunes, and raisins.

I'm a walking storeroom of facts, I've just lost the key to the storeroom.

I'm a SENIOR CITIZEN, and I think I am having the time of my life!!!!

ALWAYS REMEMBER: The world was made round so that we would never be able to see too far down the road.

A very happy birthday Cliff. Don't start to whine yet about your sagging, etc and loss of memory and need to know where the bathroom is. Believe me, it gets worse. ;D
