Amazing Old Timers

Chosen by Turtle

I had this forwarded to me recently and have watched it several times. I love how this couple who have been married for 62 years still have a sense of humor and slap each other on the ass when they change position. If only I could be so lucky and meet someone to spend the rest of my days being this happy with.




An elder couple walked into the lobby of the Mayo Clinic and spotted a piano. They've been married for 62 years and he'll be 90 this year.

It's all in the attitude. Enjoy!!

Good Morning Everyone!

Wooooo-Hooooo!!!

Zona said...

KGRL: Loved the video..they are so frickin' cute! I hope Mr Z and I are as zippy as they are in 37 years!!

You are an amazing and wonderful person KGRL..and I know that you will find your forever soulmate soon. :)

Thanks for the happy video today..it was great!

Zona said...

I've got blogs to catch up on. Our computer crashed on Thursday..and we just got it working again today. We spent hours and hours on the phone with the techs and ended up having to wipe the hard drive. It was headache inducing!

I'm off to read and see what I missed!

I hope everyone has a wonderful day! SWAK!! :D

Zona said...

FIVE!! Cuz it's my lucky number!

Maureen said...

KGIRL...when I saw this last week, it made my heart dance. Such a great thing to see. You will find your forever girl one day...and she will be the luckiest girl to have found you.

ZONA...welcome back!! Glad you are back on line. You and Mr. Z will put these two to shame! Not only will you two be zippy, you'll still be "swimming"!!!

Maureen said...

ooops, how rude of me...

...ZONA...congrats on 1st!!

Maureen said...

I am going to see the Indians vs. Yankees today. I scored free tickets and a free parking pass!! WOO HOO! Too bad they are losing and my track record at pro games is the team loses. Oh well, at least we didn't have to pay for the tix!! A day in the sunshine is worth having the team tank!!!!

Lynn D said...

Morning Glories!

Zona so glad your computer is back up and working! I have had that happen and it sucks! Sucks for me because Mr. Lynn D goes into bitching and moaning mode the whole time he is fixing it! LOL Congrats on first!

Turtle loved this video! They are wonderful and you can see the love and humor in this video! 62 years amazing!

Hey Mo have a great time at the game! Sneak in some snacks because those will break the bank too!

Maureen said...

LYNN...if I could figure out a way to sneak in snacks, I would! They go thru your purse. I have had to throw out an almost full bottle of water when I forgot and carried it to the stadium from the parking lot. At the concession stands if you buy a soda pop, you don't even get a lid...afraid a minor will buy a soda and an adult will fill the cup with beer! My friend said she wants to get a stadium hot dog...I told her to go to the bank and take out a second mortgage!!

Lynn D said...

Mo how big is your bra??? I dare them to search it! Actually they search the bags here too! For security reasons! Yeah right code for you better not have any contraband like water or cheetos.

bonachichi said...

Good morning Mo, Kgrl, LynnD, Zona and everyone else who passes this way.

What ever happened to love like that? I've heard of it but never seen it. Good for them! They stuck it out and are laughing at the world.


Good luck at the game, Mo. Remember that sunscreen!

Maureen said...

LYNN...well hell, if I can get felt up just by having cheetos in my bra...I'm there!!!

Lynn D said...

Mo our luck it would be some little troll with warty hands that would do the feeling up! LOL

Morning bonacci

Maureen said...

LYNN...I didnt know you.ve been to the gates at our stadium!! LOL@warty hands!

BONACCI...good morning (or afternoon by you!). I need to find the sunscreen...thanks for the reminder! What fun things are you doing today?

Maureen said...

Gotta jet. See y'all later!!

I hope all of you have a glorious day!

bonachichi said...

Hi Mo... It's been cool and cloudy all weekend, but I took Zia to the open market. It's like a Farmer's Market but so much more quaint. We bought a ton of cherries because they're going out of season and they're delicious! I love to watch her check citrus by scratching the outside and smelling. She's such a blast from the past... Never been married and delightfully devout.

Zona said...

MO: I hope we'll still be swimming..hate to think of us as floating!! :D

Have fun at the game..catch some foul balls..well not TOO foul.. ;)

Have fun!

LYNND: Oh..don't let the fact that Mr Z is easy going fool you...he was a all "grrrrrrr" this weekend..

G'morning BONACCI!

Zona said...

CPGEM: The picture of you with Melissa and Jessica was wonderful. The three of you are absolutely beautiful. I hate to have my pic taken as well..but I can't for the life of me see why you do. You're incredibly photogenic. Loved the pic..and the blog, thank you!

DEEDEE!!! You got FIRST and I missed it! Dang! Congrats..and come by more often, kay? LOL @ "One endorphin left" oh my..I don't think so... :D

good morning..

Zona got first, Zona got first!!
congrats and I'm SO happy that you got your computer fixed -

MO - have a great time at the game - I LOVE going to major league baseball games - AND - i have become the master at "sneaking in" snacks - it's all in how you pack your purse!!
:-)


Lynn D - the only time a hot dog actually tastes good is at the ball park - I have NO idea how they do it......

Bonacci - yes, love like that!!
:-)

waving howdy to Zona, MO, Lynn D, Bonacci, and everyone else who fortunate enough to STILL be sleeping!! and all who land later!!

I hope everyone has an excellent day!!
:-)

MEK in AZ said...

K'girl - thanks for sharing the video....
this past week, Jay Leno showed it and then he and Kevin did a little take of their own - pretty funny!!

Zona said...

TINA: The video from yesterday made me laugh, kinda reminds me of Mr Z's "moves"..I have to admit I thought someone was gonna get hit somewhere along the way! ;)

JODI: Thanks for the Glazer donuts and chocolate milk..dang it's been a long time! I missed them!

MO: Congrats on FIRST..love your QOTD!

BIRDEEEEE!! I hope you woke up headache free today!

SCIRISH: Praying for you and your mom...

SACBARB: OMG! Did you get a second estimate on the AC? Holy cannoli!!

ITEACH!! I miss you!

J/L: I'm so sorry to hear about your kitty.. {{hugs}}

DIANNE: So UP is a thumbs down?

Geez I hate when I miss a couple days..I miss so much!

Zona said...

Mornin' MEK! Are you all ready for the hot week ahead? I'm moving into the room at the bottom of the pool... ;)

night.owls.sb said...

Hi Zona...

Yay, ur computer is working!!!!

Happy First... and Happy Blue

night.owls.sb said...

I had a great day yesterday, thanks to everyone who asked about my day..

I love the Jersey Shore, even with all its pollution.. :O)

night.owls.sb said...

Mo..

Enjoy the game.. Your team is playing my team.. Fun!

night.owls.sb said...

Turtle..

Loved 2days SMV, I know in my heart you will find the one.. Patience is all you need.. ♥♥♥

night.owls.sb said...

Mek..

I sneak things in to.. It kinda makes ya feel like a rebel.. which is always fun!

night.owls.sb said...

Iteach..

Miss you lots, and think of you all the time.. Looking forward to school being over, cause then maybe we will get more of you..

night.owls.sb said...

Mek..

Yes, I think its gonna be sad, Msgr G, has been at this church for 50yrs, and he so does not want to go, which makes it even sadder, that he has to..

night.owls.sb said...

Zona...

Just keep swimming in that pool of yours, and I am sure you and Mr Z will be zippy 4ever..

sacBarb said...

Happy Sunday Owls.

K-grl, Loved this vid of such a sweet couple. They must have played this a million times and it looks like they love doing it. Your true love is out there and I'm sure she will find you. (((HUGS)))

sacBarb said...

Zona, Our #1 Owl today. You know you are always #1 in my book. Do you know why your computer crashed? Could it have been something on MS or FB?

I am getting a second estimate for my A/C on Monday, but I'm still going to the credit union, cause I'm sure it won't be too different from the first one. I've checked with two friends who have recently replaced their H/A/C and they both paid between $8,000-9,000.

sacBarb said...

Mo, Don't let the team know about your track record.

LynnD, Morning Glory!

Bonacce, Most Catholic churches hold Mass on Saturday night and it counts just as going on Sunday.

MEK, Are your rocks all in place now?

Carol, Since I have been an adult, we have never had a priest/pastor for longer than 10 years. It is sad that they make them retire, like putting them out to pasture.

night.owls.sb said...

Sacbarb..

That is exactly how the parishioners felt, lots of them try to fight it, but sadly they lost the fight.. Msgr G is a great man..

I am off to church..

See ya all later..

East Bay J said...

Good morning / afternoon!

KGirl I loved the video! This couple was on Good Morning America, I think it was Friday. They are adorable!

Thanx for posting it this morning!

Congrats Zona for 1st!

The year is just about half over, and I have yet to get a 1st. :(

This kitten is keeping me busy today. MR. EBJ had to work, and you have to watch her every second. She is tiny but fast, and into everything.

I filmed her chowing down this morning, will post the video as soon as the batteries charge up and I can transfer it from the camera.

Hope everyone is having a nice Sunday!

bonachichi said...

Wow. It's quiet... Thank you for the clarification on mass. I have made various attempts to become more spiritual. The last attempt almost had me until the Minister got fired because his married girlfriend was pregnant with his baby, his wife had filed for divorce and he got arrested for drugs. Too bad, that. I really liked hearing the guy speak.

ibebold said...

Good Afternoon OWLETTES!!!!
just a fly by today...
Zona..WELCOME back to the cyber world.. and congrats on 1st...
Waving at Zona...
Mo... enjoy the game...
LynnD...Bonacci..
MEK...Carol... and EBJ...
waving at all who land later..


I am on my way to a "celebration of life"...
I don't care what you call it , it is still a funeral...
This lady is only 56 years old.. and has worked at the Melting Pot for 36 years...
Diagnosed with lung cancer less than a year ago... was told 2 weeks ago it had moved to brain... and she passed on wednesday...
I hate this word...cancer....
our relay for life event is next weekend!!!

Sorry to be a downer...

Wishing everyone a better day than I am having!!!!!
then I have to be to work at 5...
fun... NOT...

Just_Lin said...

Zona Congrats on first today! I'm glad your computer is up and running again. I missed you. I hate it when I don't have my computer or my car.

Kgrl Thanks for the cute video today. Custard and I had that kind of playfulness but, alas, time and distance, plus the bad economy, and we drifted apart. I'm still very sad about it.

Just_Lin said...

IBB (((HUGS)))

Zona said...

CPGEM: Thank you for the Happy Blue...it always makes me smile. :)

I hope we'll be swimming for a long long time... :D

SACBARB: Prolly FB...ijs.. ;)

EBJ: I'm going to go check to see if your vid is up yet. Kittens are so cute..I love the way sound when they 'talk'..

IBB: I hate that word too..big{{HUGS}}

J/L: I spent a lot of time pacing up and down the hall while Mr Z tried to fix this dang computer..I'm sure that helped a lot.. ;)

I'm sorry to hear that about you and Custard..I was still hoping things would work out...

Zona said...

VIG: Safe travels..as always! Did you get to pet Ogopogo? :D

Zona said...

Ok..I'm tired..I think that was an unnecessary 'yet' EBJ. ;)

TINA..I try..I really do. ;)

bonachichi said...

Zona, why not learn to wipe and restore the hard drive yourself? When you fubar your PC, you can sneak it back to health.

Tina~in_ut said...

Bonacci!!!! omg.....wheezing....lmbo!!!! oh....that was funny~ :D

Tina~in_ut said...

Zona~ congrats on first~

Kgrl~ cute video~ maybe you should try making a vid instead of cd's? ijs~ :)~

Carol~ so sorry you are losing a priest.....i hate it when we lose a good one~

IBB~ celebrate her life....remember...she's pain free now~

Mo~ maybe if you buy a dog, your team will win~ :)~

Hi to LynnD, J/L~ Mek, EBJ, and SacBarb~

iteach said...

Shhhhhh, I'm hiding from the mower, I hope it doesn't find me.

iteach said...

I totally loved that video, very very cute.

I don't want to mow! Ugh!

goldie said...

Hello Hooters! I'm baaaack....

the grad party and weekend with the relatives was a blast and couldn't have gone better.

K-girl, I loved the video and am happy to say that I DO have that kind of love. I am a lucky, lucky lady- and I know it1

5 days and the babies are here. When do I have to stop calling them my babies? They are 3 and 2 now.

My Mom leaves on Sunday for her annual summer in Germany- we met up with her on Friday and she was having a ball (several glasses of wine later) with her girlfriends. I sure hope I am having that kind of fun at age 78.

Hope you are all well and talk to you tomorrow.

iteach said...

Just got back from mowing the front lawn.

Don't you just love the smell of freshly mowed dog poop ? Not me and I don't own a dog!

I usually love to mow, but our mower needs to be repaired. There is thingy on it that makes it go easier and faster. The thingy broke, so now you have to push really hard and I'm all sweaty.

iteach said...

Goldie have fun with your babies!

Maureen said...

Good evening feathered friends!!

I had a great time at the game...and they WON!! And our "best" guys are all on DL! The second string did great! Sorry, CAROL (not really!!! bwahaha).

I did buy a dog and a bottle of water...$8.25..highway robbery, but the dog was soooooo good!

After the game, my friend said that since I asked her to share in the tickets and I drove she wanted to buy me dinner. We went to Panini's...AWFUL. The food sucked and the service was even worse. I will be writing a letter later!

BONACCI...ya didn't remind me to put sunscreen on my scalp where my part is!! Got a nice red streak from front to back!! Oh well, it was worth it!

SACBARB...I'm glad you're getting a second opinion. Maybe even if the price is comparable they will have a better financing deal. Good luck.

HODI...LOVE the pic. The necklace is kewl as a bracelet. I am surprised tho, that you of all people didn't show off your rack!!! ijs! BTW, no spotted cow at the races?

GOLDIE...they will ALWAYS be your babies. Don't fight it!! And your mom sounds like a hoot!! It seems you come by your humor and spirit via your mom!!

CAROL...yes, the Joisey Shore is incredible. Glad you had a great time. I understand that here, they try to rotate priests every few years. I think they should let them stay where they are as long as the parishoners still attend. But, I am Jewish, so what do I know about it!!!

MEK...I guess you are officially a ROCK STAR!

ITEACH...yep, the smell of fresh mowed grass is delighful..freah mowed poop...not so much!

JUST LIN...Thanks for the QOTD!! And my smart ass thanks you too!
I'm sorry things have not worked out with Custard. But never say never. {{HUGS}}

sacBarb said...

Goldie, Like Mo said, they will always be your babies, only @ some point you will have to stop saying it out loud...maybe when they are 30ish.

Tina~in_ut said...

good grief~

Tina~in_ut said...

is this for real?

Tina~in_ut said...

Tina~in_ut said...

Jodi said...

ZONA - Welcome back!! And your welcome for the Glazers and chocolate milk!!

Jodi said...

GOLDIE - Can't wait til Saturday!! And you're right....I could just see you and the MR. like that!!

sacBarb - you are REALLY going to bed early - hope you sleep well!!

jodi - CHEERS!!!

Iteach - love the smell of freshly cut grass (as long as I'm not the one doing the cutting, LOL)..

IBB - (((HUGS)))

Goldie - your guy won the golf tourney today!! How did you fair on the course??!!

Zona - NO, i am NEVER ready for the HOT HOT... but - ready or not, here it comes!!

MO - after reading your comment, I found myself singing "Pink"!!
:-)

glad you had a good time at the ballpark!! sorry your dinner sucked.

Just Lin - sweet dreams to you!!

I'm off to bed myself.... I have nothing on my calendar tomorrow, but somehow the day feels full already!!
