Don't Let The Old Man In



When Clint Eastwood was playing in a golf tournament this past May, he had a conversation with one of his fellow golfers, a singer/songwriter by the name of Toby Keith.  Clint Eastwood is 88 years old and Toby Keith expressed his admiration for the fact that Clint Eastwood is still working at such an age. Clint said to him, "I get up every day and don't let the old man in."  Well, of course, that is just the best thing to say to a songwriter!  The song, "Don't Let The Old Man In" is featured in the new film "The Mule", which will be out this Friday. (Directed by Clint Eastwood and starring Clint Eastwood!)






I really have no idea if I will like the film or not but the music video with the song is quite good, I think.

Of course, this makes me think that I shouldn't "let the old woman in" but I just went past a mirror so... too late! HA!

We have had lots of rain lately, so hardly any nice sunrises or sunsets but last week, Richard got this of the sun coming up and you know I asked him to take a photo for you.


Now, I am getting better...I keep telling myself that! Hope you are all well.

  1. I admire Clint Eastwood for his acting and directing and that is a great line of his on aging and not letting the old man in.

    1. It tickled me to read that story about Toby Keith listening to him and then, using it for his song. I also like Clint Eastwood!

  2. Clint Eastwood is like the Energizer Bunny -- he just keeps going and going and going . . . !

  3. Thanks for sharing that Kay! I like the song a lot. I'm afraid I may have let the "old woman" in too many times already too!

    1. Sara! Lovely to see your comment here! Hee, hee...we will be little old ladies together! I love the photos that you have on Instagram, by the way. I don't have too much time in the day to look at it but when I do, I always love your San Diego! xx

  4. That sunrise is stunning - thank you for posting the picture, and thank you to Richard for taking it!
    Ah, the old woman can also be our friend... she does not have to dominate our lives, but she can help us be a bit calmer and less hectic about things :-)
    Like you, I am getting better, and will go to the office again today after having worked from home on Monday and Tuesday.

    1. Oh yes, I was just trying to be funny but I do want to try and maintain a youthful outlook even if I can't look youthful myself!
      Oh, I am glad that you are getting better! I always look forward to your visit to the Christmas market!

  5. I am glad you are better I had a horrid spell with a hospital stay. I am a pretty healthy person too. I love don't let the old man in. I think our spirit never grows old at least mine doesn't feel older.

    1. I saw on your blog that you had been in the hospital with your illness. That must have been a bit scary. Glad you are doing better now! My spirit is very young...but the rest of me is not! LOL!

  6. You always have the greatest new things for me to take in. Now my new mantra will be Don't let the old woman in! I could only hope to be doing as well as Clint Eastwood at the age of 88! The sunset picture is amazing! I do hope you continue to get better...all is well here.

    1. Thank you, you are so sweet! We will just have to remind each other...don't let the old woman in! (Maybe we will be in our 80's and 90's and telling each other that!) As long as we look on the bright side, that is the most important thing! xx

    1. I know, sometimes I look in the mirror and I look so much like my grandmother's sister, it startles me. :-)
      Hasn't our Georgia weather been crazy? Maybe you haven't had as much rain as we have...it seems to rain every day!

    1. Oh, poor you...I saw all that snow you had! Hey, we were told we even had a dang EARTHQUAKE at 4:14 this morning! Did I feel it? No way, I was fast asleep!

  9. It's never too late to push the old man/woman back out for a bit longer, if you want. Wonderful song, and a very, very pretty sky.

  11. I try to live by that motto myself and like to think I still have a young-ish mind set... until I run for a bus that is or try to get up off the ground fast after lying flat out and find someone has stolen my turn of speed and replaced it with slow motion reflexes in a world of sticky treacle. They don't tell you that gravity increases with age.

  12. What a wonderful thought to live by! ("Old woman" in my case, though)!

    Glad you're feeling better, Kay...keep doing so! :)
