At this time of year I do feel my age and it didn't help when my closest friend gave this reply when I opined that maybe I would skip some of my elaborate Christmas decorations this year. Her reply "Marie, this could be your last Christmas, one never knows". Wow, What a thought. I am tired from all the cooking for Thanksgiving, we always have company with family. But at 78 and almost 82 Bill and I needed our naps this weekend. The decorations are waiting to be mounted. inside, Bill cheated and left the outside lights up from last Christmas. All he has to do is plug them in. The inside stuff he claims is all mine, too elaborate for him. I never said he wasn't a typical husband!! LOL Marie K.
