TLP enjoying the kiddie pool last weekend.

Another part of aging that I'm not fond of – the loss of facial muscles. It's not that I've gained weight. No, weight gain isn't the reason that I have a double chin.

When I was growing up I remember asking my mom what she wanted for Mother's Day. She might tell me something, but most of the time she would say that she didn't need anything. I find I'm doing the same thing to my daughters. I'll say, "I don't need anything," or "You don't need to spend your money on me." Oh, how we become our parents.

Today I'm creating a clean dining room. I've been guilty of throwing things on the back of chairs instead of putting them away or throwing newspapers on the table. I want to fix that today.
