It's December!!

It's December 4th!

I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around this one for some reason. I'm sure part of that bit of lunacy is because my birthday is in a few weeks, but what's even more weird (for me anyway) is that I am truly closer to a decade I used to think was ancient, I mean even decrepit, but right now doesn't really feel any different from the day I celebrated the dawning of this past one.

Screw it, right? 

Y'all know I'm in my 60's, in fact this coming December 31st, I will be 69 which means not only am I touching 70, I'm damn near in a collision course with it! Next year will also mark our 50th wedding anniversary in March and the MITM turning 70 in June. We're looking at maybe one great big ole party to celebrate everything, but who knows what will happen or what we'll end up doing.

Maybe, it's just the natural progression of things that has me ruminating on life. The future is shorter than the past is long, so perhaps it's time to really look at what's ahead or rather how I plan on spending that time.

Or maybe it's just winter blues messing with my head!

Any thoughts, sweetpeas?

Because y'all haven't seen these two in few days!

New front teeth!

Holiday party in Pasadena!

Spending time with these two is definitely in my future!
