"A man over ninety
is a great comfort to
all his elderly neighbors: he is
a picket-guard at the extreme outpost;
and the young folks of sixty and seventy
feel that the enemy must get by him
before he can come near their camp."
Olive Wendel Holmes
Just was reading through a little book, saw this quote, and chuckled a little. My sister-in-law's mother turns 90 this weekend (not sure of the exact day)---she's still feisty as ever!
My brother and his wife will be going to Columbus, Ohio from Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania and on the return leg of the trip, I will meet them for dinner. I haven't seen them since the fall, so am looking forward to the visit. We were supposed to meet over Christmas, but a horrendous snow storm prevented that from occurring.
The pictures were taken at our little town's train depot.
good quote.
ReplyDeleteand i hope you all have a good meeting.
Got a good chuckle from Mr. Holmes. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteAs for the photos - you have a train depot in your town? How cool is that?
What a grand window over the top of the window ... our old depot is being restored to use as a museum of sorts.
