I do not know quite what happened or when , but my hubby and I now qualify for seniors' discounts at some venues. This creates a quandary; in order to save money, but not face, we have to admit to our age. HMMMM..... We definitely do not consider ourselves to be old. In this day and age ,when people as a whole are living longer and healthier lives why are 'young seniors', those in their fifties, like moi, considered 'old'?? It's so true that age is just a perception! "Maturity" is very objective/subjective, and I object! Whew, a few years have skittered by since I composed this biography block. Those "fifties" are in the rear view mirror and they are distant, fond memories. Oh, I do not plan to stop writing any time soon.
I'm getting a huge dose of sand swallowing here today. It's very windy here in the desert. It feels like glass cutting your skin. I didn't last long outside. I watered and came immediately back inside.
I'm glad you're joining us, dinner and drinks will be quite relaxing tonight. Apparently the Aussies don't drink as much tequila as the Mexicans do on Cinco de Maya.
Gosh sorry you missed the train. I hate it when that happens but you are here now. Yippie! ha ha poor Opal. I knew one girl named Opal and she had an October birthday like me.
I would've never guessed you to be an adrenaline junkie, Sandra. Way to go girl. I agree swallowing salt water isn't refreshing. As a child I loved swimming in the ocean, as an adult I think about all the stuff dumped it in.
You have lovely memories of your library. You must have lived close enough to go on your own. I loved my local library too. I went on Saturday morning with my dad.My favourite books were Little Women, What Katy did, Heidi, and any Dickens books.
Happy 10th WDC Anniversary, SandraLynn Team Florent!! I'm sorry I can't battle alongside with you, dear Florent. Go forth and go well! You are doing excellent!
March 10th Prompt:How many languages do you speak? If you could instantly learn any language, and be able to speak it fluently, what would you pick? How would you use it and where would you go? Well, my mother tongue is Canadian English. I speak with the letter 'u' in colour and valour. I refuse to wear a toque in winter. No matter how they dress it up a toque is still a hat and I don't like hats. Je parle francais aussi. My youngest has a French name, Danielle, and now she's engaged to a French-Canadian. I'm on board with teaching their daughter , Alexandra,French. I find myself warning her, "Touche pas." Years ago, my eldest grand giggle who will be nineteen in May,(gasp), admonished me one bedtime. "It's good night Nanna NOT bonne nuit." Oddly, she never minded my saying, "Je t'aime." If I could somehow magically speak Gaelic, I'd be thrilled. My paternal heritage leads to Ireland.I'd love to meander the Emerald Isle. Knowing the local lingo would make my exploration authentic. The language seems so rich and vibrant.
