Today I turned 70.
My daughter Carly and her children Kyla, Tim and Lisa, My daughter Laura and her son Nick, my son Adam and his twins Laurie and Jennifer and my other daughter Sharie and her son Kyle came around to visit.
They had all got together and made me a cake. I had a quarter of a piece of cake and an orange. Laurie, Lisa, Kyla, Tim and Kyle had drawn a big picture of me. I loved it. Jennifer made me a card that had a picgure of one of my dogs on it. (I breed kelpies) Nick couldn't make me anything because he is only eight months.
One of the good things about being old is having children and grandchildren.

Today it is the anniversary of my husband's death.
Luckily my C.F. (cystic fibrosis) has been good and besides wearing glasses I have been in really good condition.
One of the bad things about being old is you have to die someday.
At three-ten pm I am going to the movies with Laurie and Jennifer to see a new movie called "Bingos Back." In the nineties when I was in primary school there was a movie called "Bingo". Bingos Back is a follow on from that. One of the bad things about being old is that you don't enjoy doing the things you used to.

Today I am starting to feel a bit sick. I am going to go to the doctors for a checkup. Before I go I am going to go on a special outing for old people (that is another good thing).
I am also going to pick up my pension of $100 dollars a week (another good thing).

June 22nd 2055:

Yesterday at the doctors I was diagnosed with a new disease called Homygladsa. With that it means you have it for about a year before you start to feel sick and when you do feel sick you have the maximum of five days to live (minimum of two).
As you can probably guess, it is a pretty bad disease! My family and I were very sad but we were not surprised because that is what my husband died of.
