Update on Brother and Comments on Songbird Picture

I just can't resist posting this picture of my brother. Wasn't he a little cutie?!! That hair was red, red, red. It is so much lighter now that he is older. In other news, HDT is recovering nicely from his recent surgery. He has much more flexibility in his right arm and hand than expected at this point in time. HDT is still struggling with his left-handed ironing and he has added a few more things to his "hard to do with the left hand" list. Shaving and brushing his teeth have pushed ironing down to a third place ranking.

Thank all of you for your wonderful compliments on my picture. I forgot to mention that I was 72 on my birthday in July. Isn't that amazing? I've always liked my smile so I try to use it alot. And my eyes truly are the window to my soul. I can't put anything over on anybody because my eyes always tell the truth. In response to Tiggerlane's comment about my perfect teeth....they aren't perfect, Tigger! As you know, I had to have four teeth pulled before getting braces in the ninth grade. I had the overcrowded teeth problem, but braces definitely made a difference. In response to MJ's comment about my skin.....I wear sunscreen and a big hat when I work outside. I use Oil of Olay age-defying anti-wrinkle replenishing night cream (what a mouthful) every single night and I use St. Ives collagen elastin moisturizer in the morning. I use Almay line smoothing makeup products that also have sunscreen. I don't mind getting older, but I do want to look as young as I can for as long as I can and I am totally not into surgery or Botox.

Thanks again for the compliments! Oh.....I'm really 48.
