I got absorbed in the Good Book a while ago. Specifically Abraham. Lot of people read about him but they gloss over some juicy stuff. Most people know that he was 99 years when Isaac was conceived, but they don't really notice that Isaac was, most likely, in his twenties when they went to the mountain to make the sacrifice.
Sara was 124 years when she died, so she lived to see her son grow up, and be a man.
After Sara's death. Abraham was ready to pack it in, so he made his servant take an other to find Isaac a wife. The servant did that, and Isaac moved his new wife into Sara's house. Abraham apparently like that and he stuck around.
Abraham married again when he was, most likely, about 130 years old or older, and had 6 kid. He finally died at the tender of 175.
Wonder what the neighbors thought about a old guy marrying a child bride of only 62? I don't know the age of his bride, but he got the job done.
It's a good day.
