Will You Still Need Me, Will You Still Feed Me, When I'm 64?

This tune has been in my mind today for some reason. Just lost a cousin who was 69...not very old in the scheme of things...luckily I have many cousins. How lucky? Well...just had breakfast with a "real" cousin (first) and her son....today after church, had a wine fest with another cousin..."real" (first)...yesterday...is that wonderful, or what? How many cousins (first) are we alloted in this weird world? How many cousins.......and we went to see my husband's "real" cousin today to bring back a trailer he had loaned us...while my husband was ripping off the roof of the garage...he's old...but he's good (my husband, that is!)....I'm thankful today for all the cousins I've been granted along the way...now I will name them all...

You tell me...that's just my side of the family...how lucky can one person be, pray tell...? And all have a history...all KNOW ME (doesn't mean they LIKE me!)...

Will you still need me, will you still feed me, when I'm Sixty Four?

Ah..Joanne and Jimmy......closer than cousins, eh?
