End of a week

Friday!  Friday, Friday!!  Friday of a long weekend ahead.  Camping plans, canning plans, fresh blackberry plans, family dinner plans.  I weekend to rest from my labors and reconnect with my son.  It seems that all week we are just two people working toward a common weekend.  Friday afternoon means my hot date and I start the weekend!

woo-hoo

Now to pack for camping.  Tent, check.  Sleeping back, check.  Smores stuff.... double double check.

I am NOT old

When I was young, older people were, well, old.  So-and-so's mom was old.  They had old people's church callings.  They had old people's jobs.  They drove old people's cars, like mini-vans.

I was at a baby shower for a friend today in my old neighborhood. Most of the people are the same from when I lived there.  And they all look exactly the same as when I was itty bitty.  

And I won't add up the years because then I would realize that when I was young, they were... my age now.  It would be too heart-wrenching.  I realize that and then I cry.  Then I wonder who thinks that I am old.

I don't feel old.
