A Letter from My Grandfather

"A Letter from My Grandfather"

I've sure gotten old...

I've had 2 By-pass surgeries.

A hip replacement, new knees.

Fought prostate cancer, and diabetes.

Am half blind, can't hear anything quieter than
a jet engine, take 40 different medications that
make me dizzy, winded, and subject to blackouts.

Have bouts with dementia.

Have poor circulation, hardly feel my hands and
feet anymore.

Can't remember if I'm 85 or 92.

Have lost all my friends.

But.....Thank heaven I still have my DRIVER'S LICENSE!

Ain't Florida great?

"Crossing Border"

An elderly couple was crossing the Canadian
border to go to their winter recluse in Florida.
At the crossing they were stopped by an over-
zealous border guard, on his first day at work.
He commenced to ask the couple a battery of
questions.

The husband, on behalf of his almost deaf wife,
answered the barrage of queries.

Officer: "Where are you going?"
Husband: "We're on vacation and going to Florida."
Wife: "What did he say? What did he say?"
Husband: "He wants to know where we're going."

Officer: "How long will you be gone?"
Husband: "About one month."
Wife: "What did he say? What did he say?"
Husband: "He wants to know how long we'll be gone."

Officer: "Where are you from?"
Husband: "We're from Toronto, Ontario."
Officer: "Toronto, huh. I was there once. Nice city.
Had the worst romantic experience in my life."
Wife: "What did he say? What did he say?"
Husband: "He says he knows you!"
