You'll turn into a grumpy old man wanting things to be proper, with no nonsense?
No, me neither.

Ever Wonder If When You Get Old......
Born and raised in the suburbs of Montreal 7 decades ago. Began playing with toy soldiers at 5 years. Started painting & converting at about 12 yrs and wargaming about 15 yrs. Never really stopped.
5 years in the Black Watch of Canada Cadets, 5 years at the Collège militaire royal de Saint-Jean followed by 4 in the navy. 25 years with CPC in IT simultaneous with 23 years running a boarding kennel. Inherited my love of toy soldiers from my mother's father. Married with a pack of litle Italian Greyhounds and a cat. Prematurely retired and enjoying leisure to game, maintaining our 170 yr old farmhouse and just living.

Don't intend to get old - I'll always be Young :)
ReplyDeleteI can't argue that!
DeleteIs that Snow White I see? I’m looking forward to being a curmudgeon!
ReplyDeleteLiving in a little cabin in the woods? With a woodsman? Talking to a little bird? Naaaa........I'd have probably have to pay royalties.... just looks like her....
DeleteIt sneaks up on you, I have a mug that says 'Grumpy Old Man' on it so it must be true. Don't like the look of that chap in the last picture - think he may be up to no good.
ReplyDeleteMugs rarely lie.
DeletePretty sure I am a grumpy oldish man. FYI, I will be bitterly disappointed if this scenario doesn't involve teddy bears.
ReplyDeleteTraining is important for these things.
Deletehmm Bears in Teddies? Lets just hope the Maiden Fair doesn't put honey in her hair.
A friend once told me I was born 45 years old. That makes me 115 this month--70 years of trying to put things in their proper order, and no nonsense. It's a dangerous thing to leave me next to the bookshelves in a thrift shop. I start organizing. But it makes me less disgruntled. And as my mug says, "A Grumpy German is a Sour Kraut."
