Copy of quotation taken from your blog "The world is a book and those who do not travel read only a page"
Well Bb Billy you have certainly read a lot more then just one Page.
Congratulations on turning 60.

After all is said and done,
the 60th has been and come...
You've had that special birth day,
but most of all you did it your way.
You've travelled a long road...yes you have you old toad...
At 60 life only begins,
it's not a race to see who wins...
it's a time ahead to enjoy,
with family, friends and your little grandboy!
if he's anything like the old block that you are,
in his life till he turns 60 he will have come quite far.
God Bless you my brother,
you are like no other...
Carol (with respect to Franky and Kevin who are also like no other and unique in their own way).
Is anybody HOME?
