Allison Weekend

I had my niece Allison for a visit last weekend, and it was really great! I only live about an hour away from them, but she’d never been to my house. So when her parents needed a sitter for the weekend, I was really excited about getting her to myself for a few days.

Allison is a happy little girl. And a cuddle girl. Two very great things!

Next time I’ll have to have both girls over. I can’t help but think about the fun times my two nephews spent with me at my house, and it makes me a little sad that they are so grown up now. I remember what it felt like as they were getting too old to want to come visit me out here in the country. They were moving on to new adventures. And I know that will be the case with Amanda and Allison all to quickly.

But that’s how it’s supposed to be. And I can enjoy these little girl days as long as they exist.

Something About You

This is my favorite song ever.

I have lots of second favorites, songs I get excited about when I hear them on the radio. You know, the “Oh! I LOVE this song!” songs.

But none have ever come close to knocking my favorite out of place.

I don’t even know why it’s my favorite song; I can’t explain it.

It’s like the difference between having a crush and being in love.

It just makes my heart beat in a different way.

What’s your favorite song?

Can you explain why it’s your favorite?

At 52 I am not old, no matter what the 30- and 40-somethings  say.  I comfort myself with knowing they’ll get theirs.
