I Don't Remember Growing Old

There is a song from Fiddler on the Roof where the father sings about growing old and not being aware of it. I feel the same way. My passport will expire early next year so I must renew it. I pulled up the form on-line and started filling it out. It will be good for the next ten years. I listed my height and eye color. Then I got to the question about hair color. Hmmmmm - am I still brown? Salt and pepper wasn't a choice? Gray? Aaaugh, I listed my color as gray! When did this happen to me? I'm too young to be old!

We have only one more month until we drive out to Arizona/Utah for Beth's baby and to drop off Leanna at school. Mom and I will then be Empty Nesters. It has been a long time since Anne and I have been alone like this. It sounds kind of fun, but I'm sure it will be an adjustment.

We are looking forward to the visit from Jon and Crystal in August. I'm glad they are only one day's drive away from us.

Oh you're not too old yet. You can still probably outrun me on the treadmill and I'm a young buck!

We're really exited about coming down there soon too. Two and a half weeks and counting!
