They guessed my age at 26!!


Someone found out it was my Birthday today and they guessed my age at 26!!No they did not have dementia, but they were 100 years old with very poor eye sight. I had a great laugh out of that.
The real # is 49 and I am not a bit embarrassed by it.

Jeff and I had a great day of shopping, I shopped, he read a book. When I went into Eddie Bauer, the lady was trying to get me to buy a vest, she says,"these are so in style, you just have to have one," I looked out over my glasses,(Now that I can no longer see) and said, I truly do not care what is in style, look at me, I'm 49.

My boys always ask me,Why are you on a diet? You are old and you cares what you look like. My usual response is," I do not want you to have to buy a extra large casket. So you have it.

I am old and it is O.K. with me.

October 11, 1990 Waterloo,Iowa .My # 31



I am a little slow to post, but we are still celebrating, so I guess it is still acceptable.
At 3 pm, on October 11, I gave birth to one of the most beautiful brown eyed baby boys I had ever seen. His name was Taylor Andrew Whitt.
Taylor turned 18 and that makes me a little sad and yet happy for him. He is ready to be independent come next fall.
Taylor and I have always had a unique relationship, a deep bond between a mom and her son. One often unspoken, but very much felt.
Taylor is a very disciplined man, he is physically very strong and takes pride in his work, whether it is football or wrestling. Schools comes in third, but he does fairly well there too.
Taylor has been a great kid and I could not be prouder of him.


Happy Birthday to my second son. I love you.
Mom
