Amen to all that! Except for going on dates with my husband... And the only way I will have a tea party is if it is with a granddaughter. I want to be able to still throw and catch a football, preferably with numerous grandsons. Maybe even take them all the way out to GreenBay for a game. It would be nice to know I had left an idea or two behind, maybe even a book full of them. And I will always keep telling jokes all the time, even if no one thinks they are funny (especially if no one thinks they are funny). Not only am I looking forward to hearing “Well done, my good and faithful servant,” but also “enter into the joy of your master.”
