Sayings about growing older

This blog post is dedicated to growing older. We had 2 birthdays in our house this week and we have celebrated in style! The pictures posted are all new ones taken in the last 2 weeks and the sayings are from one of those emails that was recently forwarded to me!

The best antique is an old friend. These friends have been through life with me, starting in the church nursery as toddlers through high school and consistently standing beside me through each stage of life. I treasure them so much.

One of the many things no one tells you about aging is that it is such a
nice change from being young. Ah, being young is beautiful, but being old
is comfortable. Not only am I comfortable with my old friends but I bought the same dress in 2 colors because they are extremely comfortable and that is what really matters now that I press on in life!

Speaking of being comfortable, this friend here is one I can always be comfortable with. She is a testimony of what a true friend is!

Life is like a coin. You can spend it any way you wish, but you can only spend it once. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away. James 4:14 NKJV

I can only hope that these little girls will grow up and my life will have impacted them in a positive way as my grandmothers' lives did in my life.
Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me, I want people to
know why I look this way. I've traveled a long way and some of the roads
weren't paved.

The sole purpose of a child's middle name is so he can tell when he's
really in trouble... exception being when you are with your grandmother and that middle name is the same as your grandmother's!

When you are dissatisfied and would like to go back to your youth, think
of Algebra.
Grow old along with me the best is yet to be.
My husband likes to remind me of life before we met. He is right, I would not go back to my youth or Algebra for nothing.

You know you are getting old when everything either dries up or leaks.
this was rather humorous after receiving 2 identical birthday cards this week = I think my friends and family are trying to tell me something = maybe that I have a lot of fun laughing or maybe something else!

Lord, Keep your arm around my shoulder and your hand over my mouth!Even though you can not see her very well here, I love this picture because Lily Kate has her sweet little hand on my shoulder and she did that naturally. I also love it because we don't have many pictures of the 3 generations of us girls together.

It's been a good week. Thanks yall for celebrating our August birthdays with us.
