I lo...Your kids were so cute when they were little! I love the dress-up pictures of the girls...too sweet. And I hear you about age...my dad mentioned I'm getting close to 60...yeah, thanks for that, dad. Rubbing it in just because he's in his 80s. My oldest daughter turns 38 this year...no way...I still feel 34 so it's not possible!! <br />Oh well, truthfully I'd rather be my age than be a young'un, and I wouldn't want to be raising kids in this day & age!!<br />Debbie :)Debbie @DewdropGableshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10747405747361970506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7186929171672526984.post-38003666972735483432014-04-06T13:47:02.919-07:002014-04-06T13:47:02.919-07:00I am peeing my pants here - I know every single po...I am peeing my pants here - I know every single post you're talking about Gerry just from your comments LMAO<br />AND - I'm laughing even harder at your table and chairs - <br />WE have a disorder - you realize that, right?

I truly intended to go do something productive after my last comment but I started reading more posts and wheezing hysterically instead. Now that is an age thing, I never used to wheeze when I laugh - I sound like Popeye. So many things in common: menopausal madness tick, hatred of reality TV tick, crazy road trips because we couldn't navigate our way out of a paper bag tick, language that would make a sailor blush while working on furniture tick, complete inability to accept that I can't lift a moose of an armoire tick and stories you couldn't make up regarding furniture purchases tick. The latest was a table and six chairs I bid £5 for on ebay. The picture was fuzzy, the description non existent and we have no room but did that stop me? Even the satnav couldn't identify the address (it was down a dirt track, in the middle of a field) and I couldn't get much sense out of the seller. I thought maybe she was peeved cos it had sold for so little but when we finally found her it became obvious she was taking way too many tranquilisers. The chairs were no problem but the table was VERY heavy and it wasn't going anywhere. I'd ask her things like 'do the legs come off?', 'do you have a screwdriver?' and in desperation ' how did you get it IN here' but she'd just look at me vaguely and smile. Just as I was thinking we'd have to take an axe to it (or I'd have take some of whatever she was on) my long suffering and genius partner somehow wrenched it out. Meanwhile all the varnish is falling off it like confetti and the walls were looking a bit battered, not that she was bothered at all...Needless to say it's jammed in our workshop and we're both black and blue from bumping into it, some bargain that's turned out to be.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03184355777545481447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7186929171672526984.post-71677261323990906882014-04-06T11:13:25.889-07:002014-04-06T11:13:25.889-07:00First of all congratulations Gerry - and I LOVE Na...First of all congratulations Gerry - and I LOVE Nana G - too cool !<br />John and I are a blended family - I don't have grandkids of the blood - but I DO have grandkids of the heart - I decided to be Lolli and John's Pop - so we're Lollipop forever more now lol<br />XOXOXOAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04867123594514649770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7186929171672526984.post-80657046037324680482014-04-06T11:02:00.598-07:002014-04-06T11:02:00.598-07:00Now I definitely think we have some sort of transa...Now I definitely think we have some sort of transatlantic connection! My youngest daughter will be 24 on April 12th and I will be 54 in July, I keep dreaming she is a baby again probably because THIS CAN'T BE POSSIBLE...It gets better though - my eldest daughter has just told me I am going to be a granny!!! Actually I have decided to be a Nana as I'm far too young to be a granny :), apparently her partner's mother also wants to be a Nana (some nonsense about it being a tradition in South Africa - a likely story) so I will be Nana G which I think sounds very hip hop. I am beyond excited at the prospect of being able to do it all again, only this time I'll get more sleep...I've had a lovely time (about 2 hours) admiring all your before and afters and catching up with your blog, beats cleaning the house which is what I was supposed to be doing!

I remember my parents doing a few of these things with us when we were young. My parents were so creative and I fell for it every time. Being 6 and 4 years younger then my brothers makes a difference with that stuff. The y never ruined it for me or my parents. My parents said no matter how I old I got I was always going to be their baby girl and it is so true, wouldn't have it any other way!!!!<br /><br />CynthiaCynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18110661139781107705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7186929171672526984.post-71921841249604323442014-03-31T19:19:00.867-07:002014-03-31T19:19:00.867-07:00Suzan...I just turned 55 this past Friday.

She had family over and just as she sat down to eat...I decided that it was time to come into the world 6 weeks early. It is hard to believe that both of my girls are grown and that I have 2 wonderful grandchildren. Time sure goes by to quickly!! I hope you have a great birthday in 3 weeks!!<br />hugs,<br />Cindycynthia lee designshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03153290269651314939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7186929171672526984.post-20734350529954529352014-03-31T19:17:30.192-07:002014-03-31T19:17:30.192-07:00Don't worry because from what I understand, yo...Don't worry because from what I understand, you are only as old as you feel!

I get it though I look at Samuel who is soon to be 16 in his work uniform and wonder where the heck that time went and what happened to my adorable baby boy, and how he could possible be old enough to pay taxes. I think I will be a wreck when he finishes high school (of course I will still have a preschooler at home as well) We were watching a thing on multiple births the last night and I was telling Julian about Megan's boys being the cutest little things ever, they are adorable.
