THE FICTION
THE FACTS
THE TRUTH
Let me "raise a toast of gratitude!" I have lived longer than both of my parents and and my youngest sister. In just two years, if things keep going well, I will have lived longer than three of my four grandparents! In five years I will have outlived the last of them!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY FR. RON and many happy returns of this day. I will join you for a virtual G&T this evening.
ReplyDeleteHere’s hoping and praying you live to be 100 +. There’s pleanty of steam left in the engine yet and a lot more projects to be undertaken.
Kindly take note of this advance notice and follow the instructions: take out Irish residency for the month of April 2034. This will entitle you to a little Irish surprise in the form of a Centenarian Bounty. God alone knows what the bounty will be then, but check out its current value below (US$ 2,800). We can visit Knock Shrine and share a few gins afterwards.

"The Centenarian Bounty is paid to all Irish nationals and foreign nationals resident in Ireland on their 100th birthday.
You will receive €2,540 and a congratulatory letter signed by the President on your 100th birthday."
