This Day in History

[Carruthers]

Thanks for all your efforts, Grav.
There's always something interesting to read and ponder over.
However, some of the occurrences that I remember well, and thought happened only a handful of years ago, actually took place a couple of decades back.
Perhaps that is what happens when you are no longer in the first flush of youth.

You mean closer to the last flush?

I'd read them all but never used the links, if something blew my skirt up I'd Google it.

Yes, I'm painfully aware that there are more flushes behind me than there are in front of me!

I made a will a couple of years ago which hammered home that stark fact.
It's life's only certainly, but it's difficult for me to articulate just how much making that will affected me.
It didn't help matters that I'd taken my canine chum for a walk through the church yard just before signing.
For some reason I took an inordinate interest in the inscriptions on the grave stones.

I suspect I could be as old or older that you.
I'm looking for a couple of big dogs to clean up and gnaw my bones when I kick.
That way I won't have to look down up and listen to him bitch about the cost of planting me.
