Hello. Sherri tells me I need to blog. So here goes. I have a big birthday coming up in Sept. and I thought I'd share with all who read this what it's like to get older. Your outside changes (boy does it!) but your inside doesn't. You may be amazed really at how little it changes. Of course you have all that wisdom----but really you remain about 30. You are even startled & puzzled sometimes when you look in the mirror. You think Connor (HGTV) & John Travolta etc... is/are HOT!! I'm not raising children anymore like most of YOU are----but I'm still interested in what every ones concerns are. I think of my grandchildren as my own children. My daughter lets me do this :). I like to do a lot of the same things all of you do. I love reading and the movies. I care about being "green" and doing the right thing. I hate feeling "invisible" as you will all find out some day. Just thinking and thinking........
New subject: We just back from Mississippi. Dean is feeling very tired, and has been resting for over a week now. He has had a cold for about a month, and is now on anti-biotics. This is the result of his CLL. He is getting better, and is finally playing golf again. We had a fun time in the Gulf and saw NARNIA-PRINCE CASPIAN & the new INDIANA JONES movie. We really enjoyed both. Also got to go to a couple of casinos, and did some shopping with my SIL Debbie.
The kids have basketball camp this week and theater camp----so maybe Sherri and I will head out to Hobby Lobby!!! YES! Ok enough for now----no more thinking.

Hi Gogo! this is Bekah. I have a blog now too. I sent you an invitation to read it.. so check it out.
It's so interesting to me that for so much of our lives we're wishing we were somewhere else in our lives. I have no doubts that you are happy where you are in life but the changes and challenges are some of the same things I've heard my own mom speak of (her magic number is 35 "because you're old enough to not be bothered by all the little things that used to bother you and young enough to still do all the things you want to do").
I am happy here at this place in my life (and again I might as well be right--where else could I go?) but I was just thinking today how distressed I am at what nursing three kids--soon to be four--has done to my *ahem*s. It's just not fair. It makes me almost weaken my stance on how horrible plastic surgery is but then I think how it only serves to remind us how fleeting our flesh is and how it shouldn't be what is most important--though that's no comfort when I'm trying to look decent in a bathing suit.
Good thoughts and happy early birthday!
