Never have to buy this again ...............

Another thing occurred to me today, about getting old, and continuing to live, I jut showered, shaved, and put on my Aqua Velva after shave, I am going to need to buy another bottle of after shave. I remember a long time ago when I bought that big bottle, "I won't be buying another bottle of this, it should last" but I am going to have get another one.

Coffee filters, when you buy them, there are so many of them, that's another "probably never have to buy them again" moment. The older I get, the more of those moments I have gone through. The good news, I keep on going, and having them.

Table salt is another one, should last a long time, but I've bought salt a couple of times since. Now I do have enough to last. We are cutting way down on salt and sugar and white bread. Lost 20 pounds, "stand up" dizziness has decreased and health improved, just thought I would mention that.

We have a lot of different "moments" in our lives, moments to forget, and hopefully, many more to remember. My first moment to remember, goes way back, Mom got me a little Kodak camera. I took a picture of laundry hanging out on the line in our backyard, 319 South Brown  Street in Dayton, Ohio. We still have the picture. I do have a memory of sitting on a lap, in front of a gas fireplace, in an upstairs bedroom, same house. I was told that "Goldie" occasionally watched me. I was just a baby then, but I do remember the moment.

I imagine we have all had moments, I'm glad I have stayed around long enough to make my "last time" ones not come true.
