Monday

front garden

Every few years I reach an awkward milestone — an age I think of as my
mother’s. I reached another of those yesterday, on Mothers’ Day.

Fifty-nine. Isn’t that my mother’s age? My grandmother’s?

How did this happen?

How did I get here?

    So glad to see you are back blogging! I have missed you. Looks like your garden is in beautiful bloom. My youngest turned 21! How did that happen? Where did all those years go?

    So glad to see you’re posting again!
    I put a photo of my grandmother at my age on my blog: homemade dress with lace trim, heeled “old-lady” laceup shoes, etc. Today she would be wearing embroidered pastel sweats with tennie runners! Me? Oh, heck. Jeans, work shirt and bare feet — though if you’re diabetic, you’re sposed to wear shoes. My grandmother was NOT diabetic.

    Happy Birthday! My mom was 40 when I was born, so I’ve got a bit to go before I feel like my mother’s age. 😛

    When I look in the mirror my mother looks back
    disapproving, as usual, but what can she say? Fran S.
