I still have my health!

I have a Medtronic's Protecta XT ICD. When asked, "How did the move go?", I always answer, "damn near killed me!"

My health and sense of humor.

The coolest thing I own is a 72 year old man who has been hanging around for more than fifty years. He is very good looking and has the warmest smile. He fixes me coffee in the morning and brings it to me in bed with a kiss and he knows just where the hitch is in my neck and can make it go away. He seems to know when my day isn't doing too well and always manages to somehow set it straight. He directs me back to the sensible thing to do at least three times a week. He has the same children and grandchildren as I do and seems to think he loves them more.

He is a prize, that boy. I am so lucky.

It would have to be my 1977 mint AMC Gremlin. When people see it they just smile.

We have an elephant chair, one that was used for riding elephants. It's called a howdah in Thailand, where we got it. It's almost always in our entryway, although I'm not sure where it will fit when we get our furniture delivered to our Sanibel house.

My Arabian horse, Marty. He's my man! I.ve had him for 5 years and would never give him up!

A long time ago [like in October 2009] BogeyBoy posted that he had an old silver dollar [post #38 in this particular thread].

I thought that I should add that I also have an old silver dollar which I've carried in my pocket since late 1957. One side [tails] is virtually blank. The other side [heads] does still have an image of a head, but that's about all!

I think the coin dates from 1918 or thereabouts. I'm pretty certain that it couldn't be used as legal tender anymore, but it is extra special to me! I got it in change at The Three Fountains restaurant in St. Louis between Christmas and New Year's Eve of 1957. That would be the same week that my parents-in-law-to-be threw a big engagement party for me and my bride-to-be! We were married in September 1958 and had a wonderful life together until her passing in May 2000.

Lots of memories here!

I bought an 1973 Corvette 11 years ago to celebrate my upcoming 50th birthday. The car is in excellent original condition, 57K miles, L-82, 4 speed, and puts a big smile on my face every time I take it out for a spin and hit the gas. It is up in CT right now but I will be bringing it down to The Villages in the spring time.

I own a large handmade American Walnut dining table which was built by hand by my great grandfather in 1866 when he returned home from the Civil War. The table was built to be used in the new home that he was setting up with his bride, Belle, and was used during his lifetime, then passed to my grandfather who passed it to my father and ultimately passed to me. I am named after my great grandfather who passed away in 1925 so I never knew him except by reputation as a man whose word was his bond. For most of his life, he was a circuit riding Baptist preacher in North Georgia and was known as the most honest man in Cherokee County.

So many great stories are told about him that I wish I had known him. But, I have his table and it is my most prized possession.

The plaque and certificate commemorating my 91 hour motorcycle ride from Jacksonville FL to San Diego, CA and back to Jacksonville. Also my two Italian Greyhounds but I am not sure whom owns who there.
