aging gracefully
as graceful as a bull in a china cupboard

Mid-life Madness
tis true
just sayin'
this is my attempt at making light
of a very SeRioUs (insert dramatic music) event...
because
if there is 1 thing
I've learned in 50 years
is that
I take life too seriously.
seriously, you heard it here first.
one that I've been dreading.
like. the. plague.
but here it is...like it or not, ready or not.

no supersize photos here...these may be the last ones you see of me like this:)
I'll probably be mortified tomorrow when I look back...and then hit delete
and
now
because I am in such an (unreserved) mood
I'm going to do something I've been thinkin' about for awhile .
YOU ask me questions.
all sorts of questions
(and i'll answer)
that will give me plenty
to blog about
in my spare time.
Now, I'm off with my girls...it's a surprise!
I'll be back tomorrow to show you my birthday present.
I know you want to see it.

Enjoy your day! I remember when I turned 50! It isn't bad really...we definately know ourselves better now. And we look so much better than our moms did when they were 50!!
Have fun celebrating!!
Happy Birthday Miss Fabulous Fifty! It does get ever so much better. Have a Fabulous Fifty year.
How beautiful you are...please post one of these on your sidebar.
Your girls are the image of you.
question?
1. did you find a new camera?
2. what program do you use to make those gorgeous shots you take?
3. what made you decide to start blogging?
4. Do you ever get mad and delete?
5. are followers important to you?
And I love everything about your blog, EVERYTHING...AND I wonder why you quit with the lace.
I hope you have a great day with your girls...
hugs,
glenda

Well I think you are looking good girl. And although you talk of growing shhhh! 'older' gracefully, I think we all have to lighten up a bit and enjoy being so YOUNG!!

Rene- I love your photos of you. You look wonderful and Happy Birthday, again!
I hope you and your girls have the bestest time together today.
50 isn't a bad number...and it's just a number...your heart never ages. It may mature but not age. I am sure there is a lot of joy and happiness in those 50 years and I am sure in that time you have made more people smile than you will ever know.
Hugs- Tete
Rene', I am anxious to see what you received for your birthday. I love the photos! I will be 48 in November and am thinking about the big 50...what I will do, how it may change me, setting new goals possibly? All that! Just finished my yearly craft show and did well...nothing like having lots of ladies in one day appreciate what you create! Please stop by if you get a chance! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! deb
