History 101.5

We paid our last respects to Vinko.  He was 101-1/2 years old.
In the funeral parlour there were photos dating back nearly a hundred years.  Like right out of the History Channel.

We were at his 100th birthday party a year and a half ago, where he was like DJ Hundred.  I think the headphones were for hearing and not music.

We're in the top row on the right.  How often do you get to say happy 100 b-day.  Hope you have many more.  eh?  This was one off the bucket list.

Once Mary and Julie had notified their cousins in Slovenia that Vinko had past away, they came straight away. Arriving hours before the funeral to pay their respects.

And they brought with them some artifacts from his homeland.
One is soil from the farm that Vinko's brother had owned, that was torched by an invading nation.




The other was a piece of a mountain that many Slovenians strive to climb.  And Vinko never got the opportunity so his nephews brought it to him to be buried with him.






I hope I look as good or feel as good, or have a mind as good in my retirement years as Vinko did in his 90's.
It's important to keep exercising the mind, eating healthy, cut out salt, limit the fast food or cut it out completely, go for walks because a couch just trains your body for the casket.  If you look a casket, it's cushy like a sofa.  And when they lay you to rest, it's like taking a nap in a chesterfield.  Notice that?  Think about it.

And I hope Kieran takes care of us, like Mary and Julie did their parents.  Training is already in progress.   And Kieran said he would buy me a house that I wanted.  For $500.00.  Sounds like it'll be made of pretty nice cardboard.  Better be somewhere warm.
