Like most older ladies I was hoping this Birthday would come and go sort of un-noticed. I think once you go over the 55 year mark.. you just don't want to be reminded another year has passed. I suppose I should look at this in a positive manner... one year closer to retirement!!
I had to get a new drivers license this year and it really reminded me .... how truly old I am getting. I compared the photos from the last DL to this one and Oh my Goodness!!! There was only 6 years in between. I had a few grey hairs 6 years ago.. but in this years photo.. I almost look totally grey!!! Not to mention those dreaded words ... added on pounds!!! Yes I am like 35% of the ladies out there.. I lied about my weight on my DL. :) I know bad APP!!!
Having gotten over the shock and realization that I really am getting older.... I have sort of come to terms with being older. I look back and remember my young self saying I am never going to have wrinkles, grey hair, and extra pounds....
What I have to say about that now my sweet friends...
My wrinkles must be from too many smiles and lots of laughs with family and friends!
My grey hair ... Natures way of frosting my hair without having to pay for it in a salon!
My extra Pounds... Good meals with family and friends.. besides more of me to love!!!
Having said that .... what this post is really all about is the love... my friends have for me!!

What a sweet Annie doll - she looks absolutely adorable and happy and is sure to cheer you up and forget about getting older - just remember that there is just one alternative to growing older and that one is no fun at all!
