It's official...I AM getting older.

Have I mentioned that I've noticed these funny looking lines around the edges of my eyes when I squint? Crows feet some call it. Funny name. Mine resemble more of a map of the Grand Canyon in the height of summer.

I've even noticed some darker blotches of skin on my face. Sun damage to be sure. Just a whiff of Hawaiaan Tropic Oil bring all the memories back! - or was it baby oil??? Was SPF even invented way back then?

As I revealed in an earlier blog, I get sick now on anything with four wheels and some good fishtailin'. Roller coasters make my head spin. Heights...well, I never did heights.

I never broke a bone until this last year. Then I broke a bunch all at once. Now I can predict the weather to a 'T'. The smell of Bengay threatens to haunt my house soon. I'm sure of it.

And yes, my sight is going. As I type this, I rely solely on my smell checker and 22 font.

Despite all these symptoms of aging, I've denied nearly everyone of them. (Of course, that is a sure sign of aging right there). So what is it that can really convince me to face the truth?

My second daughter graduated high school yesterday.

  1. Hope "smell" checker was part of the humor if the blog. If not, maybe your sight is going. Hard to pluck any violin strings for you though, cuz you still look great!

  2. Yes, the humor was intended....if I remember correctly.
