Time does fly, doesn't it. <br /><br />I loved the scene you painted going to dinner at the hotel. I felt as though I was right there with you, icy wind, crooners, and all. <br /><br />We share the same year, but not the same date, for birthdays by the way. We are both Oxen in the Chinese calender.I am older than you, but not by much. My 60th was in June. I find it difficult to comprehend being SIXTY. <br /><br />I'm beginning to understand my great aunt who, when looking in the mirror, once commented, "Oh, I see you have your mask on today."<br /><br />I maintain I have a mind a good twenty years younger than the body that is carrying it around for me. Hope we are still in touch when we hit seventy. <br /><br />Happy birthday!sarah corbett morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06327514344421041651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-238084856370735932.post-40579785028450330422009-11-16T16:38:26.823+00:002009-11-16T16:38:26.823+00:00Hi there, Suz!
My "pudding" was vanilla...Hi there, Suz!<br /><br />My "pudding" was vanilla ice-cream; my friend Gavin had something involving butterscotch and pastry or cake; Judith went with ice-cream as well, but a selection of flavours; Alan may have had fruit.<br /><br />When you were little, say 9 or 10, I must have been about 19. Sort of an adult, at least by the numbers, if not the mind. <br /><br />Remember the film "Logan's Run"? When you reached 30 the alarm on your hand went off and you were disposed of. I saw that film when I was 28, and at that time thought 30 was pretty old and it might be a good idea to have that as a "use-by date".<br /><br />So it goes!<br /><br />R.Ross Eldridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09250071187770548501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-238084856370735932.post-28253878461007715972009-11-16T16:22:26.881+00:002009-11-16T16:22:26.881+00:00snork on the antacid!
your post here starts musing...snork on the antacid!<br />your post here starts musings in so many directions. when i was little you seemed an adult, and infinitely older than i. now it's only 10 years and seems like nothing. i just turned 50 a few months ago and the time has flown alarmingly since then. i can easily foresee how i will turn 60 in just a few months more and be shocked. <br />your blog is such a source of gentle delight to me. i've been too busy to read much lately and when i come back to it i always think 'this is something i should do for myself every day.'<br />michael buble and stormy weather sound like a lovely way to spend a birthday celebration, especially since you didn't stint on the pudding. since you english so oddly describe all desserts as pudding, what do you call pudding?<br />curiouser and curiouser<br />suzsuzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04232899709402267181noreply@blogger.com
