Young or Old?

I had this conversation with Natalie, a 3 year old, one Saturday while I was fitting her for some shoes:

Natalie asks me, "Are you old or young?"
I reply, "I'm young, of course."
Natalie kind of cocks her head to one side, brings her eyebrows together, and looks at me quizzically.
I quickly respond, "You don't think I'm young do you?"
Natalie shakes her head no.
I admit, "You think I'm old, don't you?"
Natalie nods her head and says, "Yes."
Understandingly, I say, "I understand that you think I'm old but I'm really not."
She looked at me with unbelieving eyes.

This keeps cracking me up every time I think about it. I'm so thankful that my age doesn't bother me but then again, when you're young it doesn't bother you.

A Strange Occurence

An amazing, marvelous, thing has happened in my laundry room. I opened my dryer this morning to put a load in and, low~and~behold, there were washed, dried, and FOLDED towels and wash cloths inside the dryer. How did this happen? Will it, Lord willing, yes, happen again? My heart of hearts is telling me that this has TEENAGER written all over it. Nevertheless, I thought it was absolutely great!

Buttons...Buttons...Buttons...

I visited this store, virtually. Take a peek: www.tenderbuttons.com I would love, someday, to physically visit and shop at Tender Buttons.

A California Valentine

My Valentine from my Dad and Mom arrived the other day:

Do you see it? Love is written all over these avocados!

Vrooooom...VROOOOOM...VRooOoOM...

The internet is such a wonderful thing and gives access to just about everything and anything. I experienced this last night with Charles, my 14 year old. He was showing me all the muffler sites that he looks at. Just something he's into right now. What I didn't bargain for was listening, yes listening to all the different mufflers from various manufacturers. Not only can you listen to the different mufflers but you can click on different makes and models of cars and trucks and hear the different mufflers as they would sound on that vehicle. I have no idea how long we did this but I had a great time. My favorite was the 1955 Chevy Bel Air that had a Flowmaster 40 series delta flow muffler on. Charles and I both agree that the best muffler is one that makes our guts vibrate. The best place to experience that feeling is at a NASCAR race!

Classical Music Anyone?

I want to go to an Andre Rieu concert! Andre is a Dutch violinist, composer, and conductor. His music and performances are quite controversial in the music world. I find him quite refreshing and enjoyable. Have some time? Check him out on You Tube.
