I am an elderly lady and I live alone, but I don't get lonely. I have some men friends who keep me company. I take long walks with Charlie Horse, eat meals with Will Power, and spend my days with Arthur I. Tis and my nights with Ben Gay...
Things are not the same. Everything is farther away than it used to be. It is twice as far to the corner and they added a hill I noticed. I have given up running for the bus, it seems so much faster than it used to be...
It seems too, that they are making stairs steeper than in the old days and have you noticed the smaller print in the newspapers these days? There is no sense in asking anyone to read it aloud, they speak in such low voices, I can hardly hear them...
Even people are changing! They are so much younger than they were when I was their age. On the other hand, people my age are so much older than I am. I ran into a classmate of mine and she had aged so much she didn't recognize me!
I got to thinking about the poor thing this morning when I was combing my hair in the mirror and in doing so, I glanced at my reflection.....and confound it, they don't even make mirrors like they used to!!!
