Quips by Ted

These are just a few I remember

The other day wanting to start the day on a positive note I said to Ted: “Sweetheart this looks like an other beautiful day!” To which he replied (while looking outside where it was snowing): “Yes, it looks very promising!”

-------------

One day Ted got up at 9:30. I mentioned to him that I had already done my “upon rising” exercises, had breakfast, updated my blog and did my almost one hour run/walk downstairs. Then I added (to make sure he realized what good shape I am in) : “Did I mention that in a little over a year I'll be 70?”

Well”, he said, do you have any questions about being 70? 'Cause I have a lot of experience!”

--------------

Visiting friends on Christmas day, the discussion was about the blessing of giving and of receiving. To which Ted replied: “That is why I like to give to myself so that I get a double blessing.!”

---------------

For Christmas Ron gave Ted a nice sturdy adjustable cane to which Ted replied: “Thank you Ron, I am very happy with this cane, so much in fact, I am not praying for healing anymore!”

----------------

The other day, Ted was feeling especially good and wanted to go out. He looked at me and said: “Do you feel like going out, you have your make up on?” He knows I would not go out without putting my face on first.

Me: “No I don't, can't you tell?”

Him: “I can't tell the difference!”

Me: “Sjees, a good thing I do it for myself!”

Him: "Sweetheart, that is because you are sooooo beautiful!"

Glad to hear Tim inherited the Decock male traits - humour and a big heart! (not to mention stunning good looks!)

Glad to hear you are doing well, Aunt Trudy! My Mom just turned 71 last week - she says "the water is fine!". She will be coming for a visit just before Easter - perhaps you could come by for a coffee???
