When I was seventeen
It was a very good year
It was a very good year for small town girls
And soft summer nights We'd hide from the lights
On the village green When I was seventeen
When I was twenty-one
It was a very good year
It was a very good year for city girls
Who lived up the stair With all that perfumed hair
And it came undone When I was twenty-one
When I was thirty-five
It was a very good year
It was a very good year for blue-blooded girls
Of independent means Wed ride in limousines
Their chauffeurs would drive When I was thirty-five
But now the days grow short
Im in the autumn of the year
And now I think of my life as vintage wine
from fine old kegs from the brim to the dregs
And it poured sweet and clear It was a very good year

Just got word that two more old friends have passed on. Enjoy today as if there is no tomorrow.
The motto on my Family arms "While we live, let us LIVE."
Good morning, everyone! Saturday, in the park, but it's August not July. No matter. It looks to be a nice day. Except for the rains that will fall sometime during the day. I forgot to close the window in my cave last night, but lucked out with no rain overnight. Now, with a big mug of my new English Breakfast tea beside me, we await the delivery of 'the last piece of furniture.' My wife's desk 'should be' here within the hour. Then we are 'officially' settled in! Yippee!

My best friend back in the States just got word that his 38yr old son will be moving back home for a year. I guess we never stop parenting.

Thanks for reminding me. This afternoon, if the weather permits, I want to go the tea shop and buy a sampler of their Lapsang Souchong. It smelled really nice when I was there the first time, and I haven't a clue why I didn't buy some then. But no time like the present.
And speaking of 'presents,' this new English Breakfast tea from the same shop just keeps tasting better, better, and better! I'm going to brew up a second mug of the stuff right now!
