This is post number #300! Wow! Impressive huh?
Today, I celebrated post number 300 with 20 people. We went to the Oil City Railroad with the Lighthouse Golden Age (60+) group. The train trip...that was...wow...ahhh....interesting to say the least. Every car has their own "tour guide." Our guide was Matthew. Now Matthew's fiance was supposed to be there, but she was not there for some reason. Matthew had never played tour guide before. You know those tours where there are memorized lines. Well I don't know what Matthew was thinking or talking about. I heard the words "bomb, kill, died, murdered" and we were talking about drilling oil. Very odd. Now Jaimie went on the trip too, and we were amused, disgusted, and just wanted him to shut up. Funny he actually asked "should I shut up now?" More funny, 1/2 the car said "Please." Of course, it gets better. On the way back we got to listen to high school karaoke that well...was just not good.
After the eventful train trip, we had lunch at a nice restaurant when all of a sudden the conversation turned to the new "health club" in the area that teaches pole dancing. Well for the remainder of the trip we had a bunch of Golden Agers talking about pole dancing. Some had no idea how to polka with a pole. So you have 1/2 the Golden Agers trying to explain to the other 1/2 what pole dancing is. Wow! The whole trip was definitely legendary!

The older generation is a hoot! I loved talking to the people who lived at my mom's personal care home. They had life experience and they weren't embarrassed to lay it all out on the line. I'd have loved to been there for the pole dancing conversation!
Hahahhaaaaa!!
This is great! I can't even begin to say. I will always cherish and remeber this day. Isn't that "ironic" Dan!
