It has happened....I am officially getting old!  Yesterday I hit fifty! 50? Where has the time gone.  My forties were like a blur. But to be honest I am pretty excited about the fifty stuff.  I received my AARP card last week on cue.  I checked out all the potential savings you get by being a member and I am always looking for something free.  Young people are looking at me differently. I told a waitress I was fifty and she stepped back - really?  I took it as a compliment!

Truthfully I am thankful. Anonymous wrote:

I guess I am very young and very blessed.  This weekend I will really celebrate my birthday and get to have dozens of my good friends gathered together.  A real joy -- getting old is fun!
