If you remembered 0-5 You’re Still Young

If you remembered 6-10 You are getting Older

If you remembered 11-15 Don’t Tell Your Age

If you remembered 16-25 You’re Older Than Dirt

I might be older than dirt, but those memories are some of the best part of my life! “God grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked; the good fortune to run into the ones that I do like – And have the eyesight to tell the difference!

There will be Older Than Dirt Prizes at the end of the next Membership Meeting, October 14th for all of you who answered the questions correctly. Your editor will be the judge because she remembers every one of them, and is Older Than Dirt!
