Officially Middle Age...

at least according to many (45yo). However, I don't think I will really feel like that or be there until 50 - only time will tell.

My son sang me a cute song this morning:
This is your birthday song, it isn't very long - Happy Birthday!

I also have this cute little cake by my avatar on Ravelry & have already received birthday greetings on there and here on my blog. The internet makes this so fun - I get to 'hear' from people all over. Well, off for my day of leisure and yarn related activities!

What I hope old age looks like for me...



So, I received these pictures from a friend who was visiting my great aunt. She is 102.9 - I add the .9 because she will be 103 in March. She still lives in her own apartment - not senior living - they don't have that in the small Iowa city in which she resides. I know she is ready to go home to the Lord, but if you are going to live a life as long as hers - to have your mind, most of your body, wonderful family memories, a love of reading and family that loves to listen to her stories - that is the way it should be. The only thing that most family members avoid is the discussion of politics & religion. I guess it is good to have strong beliefs - keeps her on top of the political scene. If you are a hard-core Hilary fan, love Bush bashing and are Roman Catholic to the core - give her a call! You might even get added to her will ;)
She is an amazing woman.
