This is it. Thank you. The other picture shows the bar in the back. Two door.

Shiny because I keep it that way. At one time, my dad had a red one, sport version with a porthole type window. I forgot about that before he sold it for the Road runner.

My dad was in late 80's when he would drive from San Francisco to Sonoma County to visit in his Road Runner. Kids would come up to his car to look at all the time. My one son has restored the Road Runner and it's beautiful.

A hobby of my sons.

Thank you for the picture.

@qvcaddition You sound like an amazing 90 years of age young woman! If I knew you personally, I would introduce you to my 92 years young dad who is also living independently at home and still driving, although not a T-Bird. Take care!

Do you feel comfortable telling me about your Dad and what keeps him young and living life? Wow, what a lively fun pair we would make.

Give him a big hug and keep living life.

Most people when they meet me and hear my age, and I'm not kidding or full of myself, just being truthful, their mouths literally drop open.

They assumed Im in my early 70's. I don't have a lot of wrinkles. I have a few, but not real deep. I think it's because of my Italian heritage and I did not go white, although , I love the white hair I see on women or men,and they look beautiful, but it is not for me. Been there, done that and it's not me. I wish I could go white, would save on haircoloring.

I never had work done, but use great face creams.

OK, enough about me, would love to hear from other people and how they are coping with the mature age we have been fortunate to reach. We could have our own blog. Have a wonderful Sunday and again Thank you .

qvcaddition Hope you continue to enjoy your 1997 Thunderbird. Glad it passed.

Hope tomorrow is a bit more stress free.
Today was good.
My T-Bird is long and has a bar across the top of trunk. It's a 1997 model long.
The man from an office next to the smog shop came out and said, "O what a beautiful car, what year is it?" I have had a few asked if I wanted to sell it.
Of course not. I actually wish I had sold it when my husband passed years ago, because I had an MG convertable and he sold it for the T-Bird and I hated the big car.
Thanks for asking about my day. Took dog for walk, did errands and treadmill and bike. Tomorrow, is back yard flowers and trimming, and front yard watering and trimming. Then weights, dog walk and yoga stretch.
I'm alone, except for my 18 year old Poodle mix, white, but I have enough to keep me busy. I take care of her like an old person that she is, very special.
Take care.

Like this? 1997 T-Bird with a bar across the top of trunk.

That's it, beautiful. Love the color. Thank you.

@qvcaddition Please don't "cool it". I enjoy your posts and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

As I mentioned to you in another post I lost my little dog in April and still crying for her most days. We have a chocolate Lab 4 years old. I love her dearly but there will never be another Daisy.

Autumn brings alot of work but its easy to overdo. Nice to hear you have a caring neighbor. I'll cool it now :Bless you..

Trees are the lungs of the Earth

@MoJoV

Thank you. I do remember you and Daisy. O I do know the hurt, Daisy was and still is a part of your family.

The hurt when my cat died was terrible.

It took quite awhile to be able to think about him without crying.

My husband died the same week of a heart attack. I knew he was going, but the neighbor that use to live next door, had a rotten son and he killed my cat and dumped it on the front under the window. I never let the cat out, but my husband didn't know this because he traveled a lot. and I was down sick, so he didn't want the cat to disturb me. He felt awful. My house was so empty with both gone.

I didn't get my dog Melanie until a few years later, because I always had cats and dogs are more work, plus I wanted to finish College. I was72.

Glad I did. it's day by day now. Today was not a good day for her, didn't want to eat.

Also, my daughter in law passed away this afternoon. It was a blessing, she was suffering so much. She would have been 62 tomorrow. She is finally at peace and in God's hands. She was in hospice care and had Alzheimer's

That is why, I live for today, because tomorrow is promised to no one.

Enjoy your family and your four yr. old Lab. Give lots of hugs.

Don't Cool it, I love hearing from you and the other people. I do not see my big family at all, just one son that comes once a month, but has me text at night that I am OK.

I have always been in the people business in my jobs, because I am a talker, so I get too long on my post. I talk to everyone near me at the check out counter at the store.

Two young men live next door and we have had some interesting conversations. He said, I put him to shame with my yard, so he started fixing up his yard, pulling weeds and really has it in nice shape now. His big tree is losing leaves, that time of year.

Thank you again for your post. Daisy is Over the Rainbow Bridge having a good time. Hugs and Blessings to you, your family and your Lab. I bet he/she is beautiful and very lucky to have you.

@qvcaddition My dad has always kept himself mentally active even after retirement. He's also a very socially active person. His diet since my mom passed 2 years ago is not so great, but his doctor says he's in perfect health.

The other thing that I think makes a big difference is his positive attitude. I live 2000 miles away so don't see him as often as I would like to, but I'll definitely give him a big hug in March. He wants me to take him to Vegas!

Lucky him, Vegas. Yes, sometime its hard to be positive, but we have to be. Life is tough and more so when you age. Good for him. You do live far from him. It's not the distance, it's how you show your love, no matter the miles.

It's the love and communication that count. Sounds like you are a good daughter.

I have family all in town, but only see the son 20 miles away in another town.

Everyone too busy. I had so much fun with the grandkids when they were small. Took them every where. Disney Land twice. Minature golf. I have to stop there. They are 40 and one in her 50, but never hear from them.Use to make me very sad, but I had to overcome it if I want to live a peaceful life. I can't say more or i will be writing a book. I just don't understand it and would like everyone to have a sit down and iron things out, but no one is willing.

So, I chose to live my life the best I can and find happiness, though I do get lonely, but refuse to get down. I only hurt myself then.

Your Dad is a lucky man to have you in his life, no matter how far away you live. You show him love and that is everything. You said he is 92. he is living and being positive and in good health. Good for him. I bet he gives the ladies a pleasant time, because he is a positive person.

I would love to find someone like that, but they only like my car. A little humor here. I bunped into a young man with my car at a stop sign a few months ago. By the time we exchange insurances, we had talked so much about each other lives, he forgot the whole incident and it was just a small bump, he said forget it. We hugged, took each other's phone number.

This was just before I was to renew my license and with no accidents, didn't have to take the written test. He was so nice, saved me. People are good, you just have to talk to them and smile, even ones that look unkept.

If a person saw him on the street, he was not the best in dress and a little sloppy, but goes to show, you can't judge a book by it's cover. He was a very nice young man.

You are a good daughter. Your dad is lucky, but so are you to have him in good health. Have fun in Vegas, lucky him. Blessings.

@qvcaddition I have 3 children. 2 live close by but are so busy with their own lives that I don't see them very often. The other one lives across the country and I hear from her more than I do the other 2,

This is life. It's not up to others to make our life what it is. It's up to us.

Keep living your best life - you do sound like an amazing person!

qvcaddition · ‎03-10-2010

I reached out to my Grandson and face talked with him last evening. His mom died yesterday and he is coming to see me. He is so lost right now and needs someone and I'm glad he feels like coming to see me to give him comfort. His mom was his Best Friend.

She suffered so much and it was a blessing that she passed.

My son is handling it different. Going to work and that is how he is coping. He really took care of her for a long time, but for the last month had to put her in a home when she got violent. He went above and beyond taking care of her when she should have been in a home. Her BD would have been today. Sixty-two.

Everyone who met her, loved her, because she was a very giving person.

Just the disease made her violent at the end. May she now rest in peace.

It's the living that are suffering now, which is understandable.

This is a Different morning then the one I started this blog with last week.
