- I am 49 and don't feel a day over 32.
- Well except when I’m around my daughters friends, then I feel 49.
- I don’t know how to act because I have never been this old before.
- Inventors must have thought I’d be a hot one since they invented the smoke detector the same year I was born.
- I lived in this world before Emails, cordless phones, automatic sliding doors and ATM’s.
- No one knew what a laptop computer was or a GPS.
- Prozac was also invented after I was born. They saw me coming.
- Did you know the first personal computer was invented in 1983 and called an “Apple Lisa”? Just had to throw that out there.
- Microwaves were just getting popular in homes and moms actually cooked.
- We didn’t have Xboxes or Nintendo .
- We played pong until Atari came out.
- We also played hopscotch, jack rocks and marbles.
- We swung on a swing set almost every day
- And played in the woods all the time.
- If we were not playing outside, it meant to our friends that we were grounded.
- I just realized, I’m too young to be this old.
The birthday fun actually started last weekend when mom prepared a wonderful birthday dinner with family. Four out of six of us have May birthdays. The fun will last through this weekend with a short get away with my daughter and husband.
I need to enjoy it while I can still get around.
Here is a the “Apple Lisa”
That's funny - but so true!! I have never been this old.....70 in September. I used to worry about my son - who lived in California at the time - seeing me after a long time and thinking I was old. Now I tend to think....oh, well. Trying to grow old gracefully is my goal. The best years of my life have been since I passed 50! I also try to remember - THIS is as good as I will ever look. Enjoy it. Someday I will look back on my ohotos of this year and say, "Wow! I looked so YOUNG!!!"

ReplyDeleteAfter 83 years on this earth, I’ve learned that if you stay alive long enough you’ll get old. I’ve tried to avoid that by applying a “stay young” philosophy. Let me explain. My youngest son was 53 this year. I am 36. The best way to explain this anomaly is to tell you about something that I read in one of Kirk Douglas’ books. A “senior” movie actress was being interviewed. The reporter said, “Forgive me, Madame, but I have to ask. Your son (who was also a star) admits to being 56. You claim to be 63. How can this be?” Her answer (& mine): “He has his life--I have mine!”
HAPPY BIRTHDAY LISA!!!!!!!!!!!! Enjoy it, I turned 50 this March, that was a rough one. Enjoy your birthday escape!!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday. 49 doesn't sound very old to me. : )
ReplyDeleteDang, I can’t believe I missed your birthday. I have shoes that are 49 :)
ReplyDeleteYou look great young’un.
