"Loveland...where everybody loves to live"
--Stephen Sondheim, "Follies"
With all this pink, isn't it just so me, darlings???????? Let me tell you something about turning 61; with 60, you can fudge it if you want to, kid yourself, saying "I'm not in my Sixties--yet!!!!!!!!!!!
But, once you get into the numbers, there is just no denying. Now, I never played this game with myself; whenever I reached a zero year, I accepted the newness of that decade. But, now that I turn 61 today, I cannot play that game, even if I wanted to.
The scary thing is how closer I am getting to the age when my mother passed away--64. Of course, she had lung cancer--big time!!!!!!!--and, hopefully, that will elude me. That number figures in a John Lennon song, so I hope I am around three years later, to post that song on here.
As for today, once I finish writing, it is a day of relaxation--reading, visiting the dogs in the neighborhood, opening cards, (Birthday Party Barbie is once again out, for the next 30 days!!!!!!!!) and, later, meeting my beloved David, and having a birthday dinner, at our favorite place--Chadwick's.
Another year, yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
