My random thoughts and reactions to my everyday life. The voices like a forum.
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.

"Blogging Circle of Friends " April 24th, 2024.PROMPT: Write about a library, or libraries of your childhood.
          Ah, the local library of my childhood. It was my second home, my sanctuary. I would stroll there. Occasionally, I pedaled my bike there. I could and did spend hours there lost in exploring the banks of shelves groaning under the weight of books. Sometimes, I actually curled up in one of the armchairs, but most often I sat cross-legged on the floor comforted by the shade, the shadows of books waiting for me to select them.
         The Hardy Boys, Nancy Drew, Black Beauty, Call of the Wild, Wind in the Willows, Charlotte's Web, Anything and everything Dr. Seuss, I devoured them all.
         I remember being in awe that I was permitted, no, entrusted to borrow books. I treated each one as the treasure it was to me. Having my very own library card made me feel special, too.
         At one time I considered the position of librarian to be a coveted, revered one. Imagine being surrounded by books all the time. Heaven!
