This is 53. And I still feel like I’m in my 20s. Sometimes my body tries to remind me though.

Birthday Boy.

My mother and her siblings. Shes the second oldest at 73. They are all together every 5 years since my grandparents have been gone.

I get that lonely feeling. Hmmm…should I try again? Then I remember. I never want to feel that fear again. That fear that you are not good enough. And in their eyes never will be.

My cousin became a first time grandma. The song has never been more realistic til now. 😂 #beautifulgrandma #oneluckybaby

I lost my best friend and heart on 09/06… a date I will mourn for the rest of my life. He saved me when my heart was broken. On 12/06 I was called to a lil boy needing a new home. And he has become a balm on my sore heart. #myangelsonearth I know Butch sent Cash to me.

Got the tree up. And Persnickety, my Elf on the Shelf, is waiting patiently for some hot chocolate. It’s been needed here in Iowa. Brrrr.

Proud of my ancestors! Making sure my littles are too.

I just got on Bsky. So let me say Thank you to all our Veterans. I’m a daughter of 2 marines, Mom and Pop..so the last 2 days have been spent celebrating them for their service.

My first post on Bsky. I’m here for the positivity. GenXers let’s be friends!
