Sorry I have not been around much lately but my hands have been hurting lately especially my thumbs when I type. I guess I am getting old and arthritis is setting in. I got a birthday coming up in the 3 of March and I will be the same age as the year I was born I wonder if any of you can figure out how old that is? If you love brain teasers this should be a good one. I guess I am lucky not everyone gets to have their age be the same as the year they were born some die before they reach that age. I would really love it if someone would give me a birthday party this year, but what do you want to bet no one even realizes how special this birthday is to me.
As I may have mentioned not only is this a special birthday year for me this is also a locust year in my area. They are not true locust they are actually cicadas an insect that resembles a fly with a glandular problem. They are about 3 inches long with clear wings with vanes in them, and they make a loud noise while they mate. They only come out once every 17 years. When they come out of the ground they look rather like armadillos they their shell cracks open and they craw out of the back of it and their wings open allowing them to fly. I will attempt to capture a picture or one of them for you all when they come out.
