I only have one more hour as a young 54 year old. Soon I’ll be 55 and have freedom! At least that’s what all those London Life ads used to say. 

All I really want for my birthday is a quiet day with my family around, maybe a cake and Sharlene smiling and taking far too many pictures. Except for the quiet and the cake, that sounds like most Sundays around here. She loves her camera and I’m glad I gave her a large SD card for it or she’d be running to the computer once a day to empty it. I think she likes the video function a bit too much. We have many short videos of the grandkids and I can see them growing in every one. Like I used to say about our own kids, “They’re only young once and that’s enough”.
