Man 90 Cooks Christmas Dinner for 25


What do you think of somebody 90 years old.
You think wheelchair.
You think nursing home.
You think bed confined with a nurse.

This friend of mine names Vernon is none of these things.
He lives alone, cooks, cleans and bakes.
He drives cross country once a year by himself.

He is now going to cook dinner for his family and friends this Christmas.
25 people.

I find this man truly amazing.

I asked him his secret.

He said it was my wife. She straightened him out.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Vocal Variety When Speaking


Do you ever give a speech?

Do you have a problem when trying to change the pitch of your voice.

The answer is simple.

Read childrens books to your kids or anybody's kids.

If you don't have any kids to read to pretend.

Really make the voices seem real.

Change the pitch.

Get the emotion in the books.

Make your kids laugh.

Make them ask, "read it to my again."

When you can bring vocal variety into your speeches.

You will not put your audience to sleep.

Amazine 90 Year Old Man Still Drives Cross Country

Do you know an amazing Senior Citizen? I know several. The man I am going to write about today I have known for almost ten years. He is a retired plumber and his wife died about six years ago. He is 90 years young.

Once a year Vernon takes off in his motor home and travels east. He is gone for months at a time. His usual trip is from California all the way to Montana and Wyoming and back. He lives alone and he cares deeply for his neighbors, who are not as fortunate as he is in their health issues. He has a large extended family who love him dearly.

When he is at home Vernon takes daily morning walks and swims in our large pool at the Mobile Home Park we live in.

He also has a creative side to him. He takes along with him on his trips an old portable typewriter. This typewrite is his constant companion. When he feels like it - he pulls off to the side of the road and writes a poem or a short story about the area he is in.

I have read his poems and his short stories and they are loaded with history and locations which are probably not on the map today. This friend of mine is an amazing cook and he bakes the best cookies you ever tasted. He brings his cookies to all the dinners we have in our mobile home park.

With so many senior citizens in such horrible health by the time they reach the age of eighty or ninety, it is nice to know there are some which can still get around and take care of themselves. Independence is a horrible thing to lose.
