My current age is 75. When I was 12, I thought that people my age now would be old, old, old. I was so completely half right!. In 10 years, I hope to be doing for myself. I'm going to get there maybe or, be 6 foot under.. My oldest friend's first name is Edwina. I grew up with her. We played mud pies, ran barefoot in rain puddles, dress ups, gathered lightening bugs in a jar. played "May I", all those things today no one knows what you are talking about.
