Here is a short list of what turning 70 means

Seen racial segregation
Born shortly before Pearl Harbor
Lived through World War Two and the Cold War
Born about the time of penicillin, other antibiotics, and sulfa drugs
Drove a week on a dollars worth of gas
Knows the comforts of an out house
Pushed a lawn mower with no motor
Bought his first car with paper route money

Happy birthday to my dear husband, Gale
