Am I Old??

My son, Adam, has lived in Fairfax, Virginia for a week now. It is his new home and I don't really like it. I am proud of him because he has a good job, but I don't like it that he couldn't come over for dinner tonight. I don't think I am old enough to have a son who lives half way across the country, making his own salary and his own dinner tonight!

However, our dinner tonight was fun even though we missed Adam. Most Sunday's, Aaron (my other son) and Amy (girlfriend) join us for dinner. I heard Rebecca (my daughter) tell a friend that we always have pasta or meatloaf on Sunday nights. True and sort of funny. Tonight was Italian night. We also included a friend of mine and her two children. It was fun...crazy but fun. I choked on black pepper and thought I would die coughing! Then, I accidentally let Amy's dog out and fell down while trying to catch her. Fun stuff. I am certainly too old to chase dogs and apparently too old to eat pepper!

We have a new family member. Our niece delivered her baby last night! Makena Ryan Grace Voyle entered the world last night at 8 lbs and 5 oz! This is our first great niece! Wow! I feel really old since I am a GREAT aunt.

Ok, I thought only old people fell asleep in church! Ha! I did that today and don't even really know why. The message was good, I was just so tired. I think I kept my mouth closed and I am pretty sure that I did not snore, but I can hardly believe that I did that!

I went to see a movie last night with some girlfriends. I can say that I didn't feel that old because the movie we saw was based in the 1920's! We saw Leatherhead and it was very good. But what did make me feel old was watching George Clooney and Renee Zellweger play young parts. One of the girls that I was with is around 30 years old, and she said that George Clooney was old and that Renee looked a little wrinkly in the movie playing a 31 year old. Now, I was thinking that they looked pretty good and were able to pull off the young parts. I happen to know that George Clooney is exactly the same age as myself...is that old? Anyway, the movie was good...go see it if you get the chance. It is a decent chick flick about football! Who would have guessed?!

Speaking of old...it is past my bedtime. It is after 9:30 and that is when I usually go to bed. My kids think that I am really old because I go to sleep on the couch if I don't go to bed at my bedtime!

So, I guess some people might think I am old...but I know that I am young at heart!

The Unexpected

Sometimes, things just don't happen like we expect. Occasionally, the unexpected is a nice surprise, but sometimes the unexpected can turn an event, circumstance, or even a life, upside down. Last week, my daughter and I went to spend Spring Break with family. Our flight was lovely, the weather perfect, and we were looking forward to a stress free week. The first thing we did was eat lunch at one of our favorite Thai restaurants. As usual, we looked forward to our fortune cookies. We took turns reading and laughing...and then my daughter opened hers - "Be prepared for a change in plans." Uh-oh. We didn't like this one but we decided our week would be stress free and fun in spite of what a cookie said. Continuing on through out the day, all was well until that night. I sat outside on the porch of a friend I have known for 35 years and received news that changed something I have believed for 30 years. The words were horrible and made me so ill that I got sick within min...

I Close My Eyes

Well, I did it. I took the writer's challenge at a blog that I have been lurking around for some time. I found this blog through Laura at Wellblog 's place and have been enthralled ever since. I have dabbled in poetry on and off. Written some invitations, cards, and even a few song lyrics (for fun) but have been hesitant to post any. (roaring lion? see below post ) With the encouragement of a friend, I decided to take the challenge on L.L.Barkat's blog, in a lesson on seeing. I chose a subject that is cherished, a memory that was real and something close to my heart. The beach. Many, many days were spent at the beach in the 12 years I lived on the Southern Virginia coast. The memories are real, and when.......... I close my eyes and I can still see the beach. The endless spans of water Sometimes blue, green, or gray. It moves Gently and Violently Bubbles rise and falling forward. On and on. I close my eyes and I can still hear the crash Of tidal movement As earth slowly spi...
