My Birthday Card

My birthday was last week - 59 - UGH - it's hard not to think that I have finished 59 years of life and have started on my 60th!! I do not feel anywhere near 60 in my head!! I remember when my grandparents were 60 - they were OLD!!! Of course I was probably in my late teens - and 60 WAS old!! My mom tells me now thought that her 83 is the new 63 - so that means my 59 is the new 39? Now I can handle that!! HA!!

Hubby gave me a really neat birthday card - keeping in mind that when that 60th birthday does roll around we will be either packing up to move or unloading the truck in Northern Retirement State - and embarking on a new adventure - Here is what it says. (It is a Hallmark, so it is copywrited, so you can't republish it under your own name!!)

PICTURE THIS:

You and I, years and

years from now,

cruising along some costal

highway with the top down,

stereo blasting,

the wind whipping our hair.

Whatever we want to do,

we do it.

No agenda, no schedule,

nobody else

to worry about.

We travel the country,

buying silly T-shirts

and sending postcards,

stopping at tiny

roadside cafes

in search of the

world's best

blueberry pie.

No hurry. No rush.

Relaxing in the comfort

of a lifetime

of companionship.

You and I . . .

lovers, friends, partners

on this road of life.

Happy Birthday!

Isn't that just a nice picture? I loved it!! He is truly a neat guy! I'm so glad I snagged him all those years ago!! I am so looking forward to those roads and maybe we'll even expand to blackberry and apple pie!!
