I had to laugh reading that you receive AARP materials too! I often wonder why they don't check things out better before they ship materials out in mass mailings to medicare peeps. Glad I'm not alone! (33 and on medicare and receiving AARP . . . I get a kick out of having a Silver Sneakers membership at the gym, too! Wish I was able to make it there. It used to be great fun!)

These places waste postage on mailings to people who don't need them and then complain about their postage costs. ARRgh.
My husband and I have been receiving AARP 'junk mail' for 25 years! And we're only in our mid 40s! We always just laughed about it and figured they'd stop sending it just about the time we became eligible for it!
You have one cool dad...LOVE the cowboy boots! I love seeing old pictures of my dad playing with us as kids. What treasured memories!
Happy Birthday to your Dad! 65 years, sounds younger and younger to me all the time. I love both of those photos of the two of you. There is nothing sweeter than Daddy daughter mutual adoration, which I am sure is the case.
When I was growing up, we had a neighbor who always wore his cowboy boots and shorts while mowing the lawn. It must have been a '70's thing. Although, my younger son used to wear the same ensemble when he was in preschool!
I agree with David above -- why did our parents look so much older in their 20's & 30's than we ever did?!
Isn't that crazy? I always want to write back and say that I may walk with a walker, but it doesn't mean I'm 80!!! :-P

Never thought of that, but yes... they could definitely be saving on a paper and stamp in my case. :-$

Oh, David... I know EXACTLY what you're saying. When I flipped that photo over and saw it was of his 32nd birthday I couldn't believe it. I just can't be as old as he was already!!!

I wasn't kidding about him running in them either. I can't imagine him wearing them now.

I remember when we were at a restaurant and they asked Dad if he wanted the senior citizen discount [it started at 50] when he was around 55... he told them 'no thanks.' I figure saving money will be one of the benefits of getting older!

My grandpa used to bring boots and belts with their names on the back to my brothers... I always wished I was a boy so I could get those cowboy gifts, too!

I love that you let your son wear it, despite the obvious fashion statement :)

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the new header!
Happy bday to your dad today! And a happy bday to you (a week early). Didn't know your birthdays were so close together.

Hi, sweetie :) I JUST put up that header a few minutes ago! The woman who made my other font had asked if I had any other writing styles back when I did the original one, so I did my normal handwriting for her. I just heard from her yesterday and she sent me the new font, so I used it to write Gitzen Girl in the header. I'll send it to you if you want it.
Hey... could you also email me your address and phone number? I lost some contacts when my computer died and I don't have the info anymore. Thanks, girl! :*
Love the boots, but love the Daddy-love even more. Just a number, and AARP gives some great discounts! I joined as soon as I was able, just for cheaper hotel rooms! Happy Birthday to your Dad!

Nothing compares to a wonderful dad.
