(a reflection of all my family) i still love german chocolate cake, the beach, the sunrise over the ocean, the sound of the waves, the lightning storms over the ocean, italian food, my best friend from high school, good friends, God, studying and learning about God. i still love to laugh. i still have the same features (since i haven't opted for plastic surgery to correct the effects of age). but my heart has changed, become, not *stayed* ... and for that, i am grateful. i think it depends on the lense we look through. there was a time, before my grandmother died, i think after my first baby was born, where she said to me, “You’re still the same Ame.” i took it as an insult. i had worked so hard in my life to *become* … not to *stay*

Not a thing wrong with that though, is there? I’m betting you are probably still very much the same, deep down inside, as you were back in 1972 -just a tad more mature.

Nice meeting you. I'm here from the Bloggers over 50 blog roll, and I'd love to have you added to the membership. There is one step you need to do before I can add your blog url to the list of members. You need to go back and copy the blog roll script and add it to your sidebar, and/or link the graphic in your sidebar. Either or both! That way, as the members are surfing the roll, they have access to all the others!! So, when you have that added, let me know and then I will get your blog link[s] added. Also, if you want more than one of your blogs added, the roll has to be added to each one! Find the instructions on the main site <a href="http://bloggerover50.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Here</a> Hi. Nice meeting you.

But isn't that just as it should be? The years have been very kind to you, Danielle! I am more than just a little bit envious that your friend can retire so early! It was quite cold here last night as well, 35 degrees as I recall. It was an "extra blanket night" at my house! Brrr. Yes, we all are! But isn’t that just as it should be?
