I never heard about Storyworth .When I had my birthday party last Sunday even though the invitation stipulated no gifts nearly everyone brought gifts. One person gave me money.Trying to return it would not work.Therefore ,my thinking is to use the money to buy the Storyworth.

The interesting thing is that it was made in Hong Kong.

TSOTD is from one of my favorite cities on the planet London,Ontario. We were there the first time in 1976.We did a driving tour of cities in Ontario and Quebec with our then 2 year old daughter.It was a 5 week vacation .

I bought it in 1964 .It is no longer available,

Is anyone here familiar with Storyworth ? It is a sort of writing an autobiography but not for publication.It is a way of sharing events of one’s life with family members. A friend of mine recently did one and his wife told me about this at my recent birthday party. Although I began writing for publication in 1964 I have not written that much about myself other than a journal that I kept from age 12 to 37. I

I just looked at all 18 pages.An absolutely wonderful way to celebrate an anniversary.

Belated anniversary wishes.I must have been in a cave because I was not aware of this thread.I hope you both had a wonderful cruise.

My first cruise was my best cruise because it “introduced” me to the world of cruising.It was in 1973 on the Cunard Ambassador a 7 night cruise from NY to Bermuda.Every evening there were A list entertainers The food was delicious ,the best I ever had on a cruise.The crew were wonderful .

TSOTD is Royal Bingo.Described as one size fits none.It was raffled at a Meet and Greet on a cruise I was on in 2019.I was sitting next to my wife and I told her that I hoped I would win it .I did not but a woman sitting behind us apparently heard me because she won the shirt and gave it to me.

We did a 7 day land followed by a 7 day cruise in May.We were originally planning a June or July but opted for a May.

Portable battery operated fan that fits in the palm of my hand.

I knew that .He is still drawing crowds just like 83 year old Ringo Starr.

Aside from making my birthday party my daughters and families also gave me presents .My daughter who lives near me brought them over today:Seven CD’s and Seven books.

I just had my last Singing For Parkinsons of the summer.We sang 7 songs and I did not care for 6 of them but the majority of the people in the group enjoyed them: Bad Bad Leroy Brown,Mack the Knife,Mandy,Valerie,Me and Mrs.Jones,Sweet Caroline and the one that I liked Johnny B.Goode.

I have more than 80 message tee shirts.I always wore message tee shirts on cruises.It is a way of starting conversations.

TSOTD:80 Never Looked So Good This is the last tee shirt that I received at the party

I doubt that very much

No restaurants in my part of NY have closed due to failed violations in the years I have been living here.

I have never gained weight on a cruise.My wife and I went to the Fitness Center every morning for an hour .We eat as healthy as possible.While fattening foods may be vert hasty they are not healthy.

We did a 50th.birthday cruise for my wife leaving from San Juan .We actually flew into PR and did a land tour first then the cruise and an additional land tour post cruise.

Perhaps not but it might draw a lot of people to the idea of a healthy cruise.The older one gets it is more difficult to lose weight.

I have one more message shirt that I was given Sunday that I will wear tomorrow.

TSOTD reads :This is what an awesome 80 year old looks like. This is one of the shirts given to me Sunday

Whenever I have cruised I have always abstained from liquor and as many fattening foods as possible.

I always request brochures from cities I visit.
