ما باید مادرانمان را دوست بداریم
وقتی اخم میکنند و بی دلیل
وسایل خانه را به هم میریزند
ما باید بدویم و دستشان را بگیریم
تا مبادا خدای نکرده تب داشته باشند
ما باید پدرانمان را دوست بداریم
برایشان دمپایی مرغوب بخریم
و وقتی دیدیم به نقطه ای خیره مانده اند،
برایشان یک استکان چایی بریزیم
پدران
پدران
پدرانمان را ما باید
دوست بداریم
یکی از بزرگترین آرزوهام اینه که خانه های سالمندان خالی بشه
..with it comes poor teeth, poor eyesight, etc etc!!!! Spotted on a gate on a walk to Pwll Du beach recently. HBW!
It was always fun to chase trains on the Siskiyou Line. On the last Saturday of Spring 1988, I had lunch in Medford with a colleague from work. As we were sitting down in the restaurant, I heard a westman blasting through town. Once lunch was over, I rolled south down I-5 over the Siskiyous, knowing there was a train lurking somewhere along the line.
Near old Ager siding between Hornbrook and Montague, I caught up with my quarry. The SP 7378 west is shown rolling along Willow Creek, a tributary of the Klamath River.
Wisdom doesn't automatically come with old age. Nothing does - except wrinkles. It's true, some wines improve with age. But only if the grapes were good in the first place.

Hundreds of ritual fires, heritage of the old age, decorate the night-landscape of the Treviso region, in Italy.
End of fire, end of holiday, end of party time...
Fuochi nella notte
Centinaia di fuochi rituali, retaggio di tempi antichi, decorano la distesa notturna della marca Trevigiana.
Fine del fuoco, fine delle feste, fine dei giochi...
The Voyage of Life is a series of four paintings created by the American artist Thomas Cole in 1840 and reproduced with minor alterations in 1842, representing an allegory of the four stages of human life. The paintings, Childhood, Youth, Manhood, and Old Age, depict a voyager who travels in a boat on a river through the mid-19th-century American wilderness. In each painting the voyager rides the boat on the River of Life accompanied by a guardian angel. The landscape, each reflecting one of the four seasons of the year, plays a major role in conveying the story. With each installment the boat's direction of travel is reversed from the previous picture. In childhood, the infant glides from a dark cave into a rich, green landscape. As a youth, the boy takes control of the boat and aims for a shining castle in the sky. In manhood, the adult relies on prayer and religious faith to sustain him through rough waters and a threatening landscape. Finally, the man becomes old and the angel guides him to heaven across the waters of eternity. Image courtesy of the Munson-Williams-Proctor Arts Institute, Museum of Art, Utica, NY.

My long time friends and I are turning 65 this year. One in March, April and May and we have been friends since we have been 13. We are all many miles apart from each other so we will take pics of ourselves and photoshop them together. Sadly, one of the friends has cancer now and we are of course, hoping for the best outcome for her. I hope we can get together if this Covid will settle down for travelling. Look in first comment for a picture of the reverse side of these masks. Mine is the one with the bicycles on it.
OH yeah, In Canada when you turn 65 you get Old Age Pension! LOL ~ I'm in soon.
I received some sad news today that my ex-husband's mother died peacefully in her sleep at the grand old age of 94 years. We have kept in touch since my first marriage broke up and after surviving two bouts of breast cancer - one in her 30s and the next just before her 80th birthday, she is proof that miracles can and do happen. Her husband used to love pelicans and before he died 20 years ago, he told her that whenever she saw a pelican, that it would be him watching over her.

Thumbs up!
It never ceases to amaze me how my father remains in good spirits. He has more courage than me. Perhaps he learned that stoicism playing football for Sturt in Adelaide, or when he did his two years of Army National Service in the early 1950s. Most of all though, it comes from an indomitable faith. Unlike my own faith, my parents’ has never wavered, never swerved at all from the straight and narrow of their upbringing. But now it is being tested one last time.
It is time for yet another zebra. It seems I have become stripe oriented in my old age. Such a magnificent animal.
No se su nombre, lo encontramos pidiendo en una céntrica calle de Cangas de Onís, Asturias. Me llamó la atención la expresión de su cara, su pelo de color, su mirada serena y su piel curtida por la experiencia.
I do not know his name, we found begging in a central street in Cangas de Onis, Asturias. I was struck by the expression on her face, her hair color, his eyes calm and your skin toughened by the experience.

My father, 97 years old having an afternoon sleep. He is an retired Fireman with medals for bravery fighting fires and rescues in the 1950s. Dad is now battling old age and a fading memory. ..he is still my hero.
False friendship, like the ivy, decays and ruins the walls it embraces; but true friendship gives new life and animation to the object it supports.

The man who lived in the house before us was a tinkerer. Nothing was thrown out, it was always resued. We have often joked our garage looked like a boat and a tank collided and was then was abandoned. It has been repaired over the years with random pieces of wood, fitted together like a crazy quilt. It is nearing the end of its structural life. I thought I would immortialize it in a few pictures.
I used to think that growing old was reckoned just in years.. But who can name the very date when weariness appears?
NGC 3384, visible in this image, has many of the features characteristic of so-called elliptical galaxies. Such galaxies glow diffusely, are rounded in shape, display few visible features, and rarely show signs of recent star formation. Instead, they are dominated by old, ageing, and red-hued stars. This stands in contrast to the sprightliness of spiral galaxies such as our home galaxy, the Milky Way, which possess significant populations of young, blue stars in spiral arms swirling around a bright core.
However, NGC 3384 also displays a hint of disc-like structure towards its centre, in the form of a central ‘bar’ of stars cutting through its centre. Many spirals also boast such a bar, the Milky Way included; galactic bars are thought to funnel material through and around a galaxy’s core, helping to maintain and fuel the activities and processes occurring there.
NGC 3384 is located approximately 35 million light-years away in the constellation of Leo (The Lion). This image was taken using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope’s Advanced Camera for Surveys.

Wrinkles should merely indicate where smiles have been.
