I look a bit different than I did about 77 years ago. You've seen this photo before, but it suits me to post it again today. I was cute then.
I had the boys take this one yesterday when they treated me to birthday lunch. As you can plainly see, I am no longer cute or good looking, and where the heck did my hair go? Isn't it awful what time does to a boy an old man? I converted it to b&w to go with the previous photos. I will probably keep the colour version on hand to include in some possibly far-off Orphan Photo post



I would say you are a dapper old man, especially with your jaunty red hat on.
ReplyDeleteA big Happy Birthday to you.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy!
Looking at 16 year old you, I can see where Danica and Jonathan got their looks. We all get older. We may not look like we did when we were younger, but if we look inside, we will still find that person.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! I can see family resemblance, and the 16 year old in the 80 year old!
ReplyDeleteWow! Great to get to the eighth decade! Welcome! Pizza sounds good. As well as coffee and a walk where hopefully you'll do some magic with your camera. You have the same twinkle in your eyes, a little cute, a little mischievous. Enjoy the next trip around the sun!
ReplyDeleteHappy 80th! And I'd say you're still pretty cute! Here's to a wonderful new year!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, big fella! You may not be cute anymore but you're handsome and, as my mother would say, "you've got a nice face"; stop being so modest.
ReplyDeleteAt 67, I still don't feel old but lately I've noticed serious wrinkles on the insides of my upper arms, and if THAT doesn't convince me I'm old, what will! -Kate
