Getting old is not for wimps!!!.............................

And so another birthday is upon me...my 71st...and I am happy....
some lovely relatives I wish were here aren't...left me much to soon...
I'm lonesome for my sister Elizabeth...my mother as well....
Most of you out there know the pain and the heartache of losing
a loved one....It is so hard...my sister Liz has been gone almost
14 years now....seems that long ....she was older than me by only
1 year...so we were very close....best friends really....It's hard
very hard to be without her in my life...she was only 58 when
she passed and I 57.....So love...love...love your family members
and cherish every moment that you are together...I imagine you
all do that already....
In my old age...oh let me use a phrase that I adore...I stole it
from the  actor Peter O'toole...he said while giving a speech for
an award that was given to him....He said as I "Totter Into Antiquity"....
Love that ....I'm okay with Tottering Into Antiquity...I will Totter as
long as the good Lord gives me tottering privileges .....to do so...
And so on July 24th, 1942 at Saint Vincents Hospital in New York City....
I came into this world....That's my story and I'm sticking to it.....
See you folks in the funny papers.... Louisa............P.S. here I am about
five years old....Yep...Easter picture.....what a cutie.....
