Happy Birthday, Twinkly! *********
Two things: #1 You are not old at 49, #2 Great sign, and I agree with Emily’s quote.
I don’t think 49 is old, but it’s toward older.
I am not sure about Emily’s quote. She died young by today’s standards, for one. I find age comes on suddenly more than once. It keeps happening. The shock is not gradual. So that’s what I think.
The “sign” is from an art installation of little white houses with quotes from Dickinson’s poems. It was so great, but of course, I heard kids were just going under the houses and getting high (probably making out, too!). Getting high and making out are pretty poetic for some people I suppose!
Take care, Lydia, and thanks for the wish! twinkly
Happy birthday, twinkly!
THANK YOU, kamper. It was a good one! swak, twinkly
that’s what 49 should look like! happy b-day, twink!
ptd
should or shouldn’t, in this case, it does. Thanks for the bday wish. You used a hyphen unnecessarily methinks. Just sayin’.
Happy belated birthday TS! You look great! We’re peers. Well, I’m actually older as I’ll be 50 in November… I hope you enjoyed your day 🙂
Not too much older! I thought you were a younger person (30s?) for some reason. It must be your incredibly bold and hip blog. Keep them guessing! twinkly
