"Mr Rooney, sir" God! That makes me feel as old as Denzel thinks he is.

But seriously, thank you all for the kind wishes.

Considering that I never knew anyone over sixty when I lived on the Bank Top. This business of being 74 is as big a surprise to me as it is a welcome, though unexpected pleasure.

My family and I had a great weekend in Banff celebrating early. I have to stay away from cakes, cookies, and good wines. But that didn't stop my son , daughter, and four grandchildren from indulging (Except no wine for the grandchildren.)

One of the highlights of the weekend was a comment from my youngest grandchild, Regan (Aged four.) She asked me how old I would be on my birthday. "Seventy four" I told her.A startled look crossed her face, and then it came. Grandpa she queried, "shouldn't you be dead". Dear sweet child, I should know better when I answer any question from a child of that age. But it was fun. And thank you all again.

By the way Swalnalla, things are much the same as when last we met. I trudge along, try not fall down too often, and welcome every day I get.

Again thank you for your kind wishes.

Regards,

Joe
