You know of course as you get older there are more things to worry about than when you were younger? Well, maybe not more but different. My Sister Dana said something very profound last night...the "Golden Years" aren't very Golden! Life happens and choices are made and you try and do the best you can raising a family, making a career for yourself or maybe in my case having a well paying job, and finding love that lasts through the good, the bad, and the ugly right up into those "Golden Years", but not all of it comes out like you dreamed it would. Getting older does happen, for better or for worst. I should be wiser than I am, but I'm not, and that bothers me sometimes. Learn from the past and change the future...now, I don't think I've heard that before....yeah right! We are blessed in so many ways but sometimes when you're older you look back and say...cripes what was I thinking! Fortune has been elusive but I keep on trying. Fame was never my cup of tea. Love has been profound, fleeting and hurtful but I gotten through those three and am enjoying the easier path now, loving myself with all the flaws and baggage that have hurled me into these not so "Golden" years but they aren't "Pewter" either.

What a wonderful Birthday I've had. It started on Saturday when Dana came down and spent the day with me..Love my new purse, isn't it cute cute cute?





This morning I opened by gift from Angie and just started laughing so hard I couldn't stop. Cats in Wigs don't know how they did it but I know IttyBitty would draw blood if I even touched her let alone put something on her!

Christmas 2008

Christmas Is

Remembering - Loving - Family

Mom, I miss you! I remember how you made this time of year very special and loving. Dad, I remember how you used to make sure we had the best tree, even the white painted one was way cool! Grampa, Gramma, you always got us the bestest gift's and made all us kids sure that it was Santa that left all those great "I want's" under the tree.
This is the second Christmas that I can't be with my Girl's and my Kidder's over the Holidays and I miss them like crazy. So, I decorated the tree and mirror, put all the present's under the tree and took some pictures. I love how cheery everything look's now and can't wait to see everyone on the WebCam on Christmas morning.
