HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!


The big 6-0 today.....oh man, am I old! Can't believe that I am now an official sexagenarian. (Now don't get excited. That is a person in their 60's.)

Tuesday we bought a new car from Claire Westover. I am calling it my birthday present. It is a 2006 Buick Lucerne and it is loaded! I've never owned a nicer car. It has seats that get cold or warm on your back and rear. And, this thing I really love, dual temperature controls in the front. So now Wayne can set his side at 71 degrees and I can set mine at 69 for my 24/7 hot flash that I seem to be having. The car is white with kind of a gray interior and looks brand new. We are excited! Our current car was a 1997. If we keep going the way we have been, our next car will be a 2019.

I'm not even depressed to reach 60. My parents died in their 40's so each additional year, or decade, is a bonus to me!!! Also, Happy Birthday to my ancient brother, Colin, who turns 66 tomorrow.

I Sinned In The Pre-Existence!

I am convinced that I did, and must have really done a good one, because God gave me allergies and sent me to live on a farm!

I sort of thought I'd get away without them this year because they started almost a month late. (I usually get them by Memorial Day) We had three straight weeks of rain which delayed them but also allowed those tall grasses to grow much taller than normal.

Well, to make a long story short, THE GRASSES ARE HERE AND DOING WELL, and my eyes are suffering bigtime. I took an allergy pill earlier this morning and have been wiped out all day.

Think I need to move to San Diego.......perfect climate, and no tall farm grasses! The problem goes away when I go to the city - even Preston! I could live in a condo in San Diego overlooking the ocean. I could even be packed and out of here by tomorrow................
