March 16. 2012. Double D Ranch, Texas. Richard and Marilyn.

The four of us talk non stop, just catching up on everything since we saw them the last time, which  was last June in Galveston.  They drove all the way from Houston just to say hello.    In many ways our backgrounds were similar, in that we were all poor and we have all achieved.   Tonight we talked about how Richard, Marilyn and Ken got to be doctors and the difference it has made in their lives.  And we talked about getting old and cutting back on some of the travel.

The main topic of the evening over dinner was money.  The question is whether or not we four will live longer than our investment funds.  It is a good question.  It seems to me that as we age, our need for money decreases.  We don't need to buy new clothes or jewelry, and at some point we won't travel much so perhaps I am missing some point.

It is always wonderful to get together with old friends especially when we are talking about being old.  We are all interested with the outcome and we hope to observe it for many years!!.
