Consider what you count as mid life...is it a number? While celebrating my birthday month and counting out the BIG number 65, I realize that only now do I consider myself turning older. At forty the birthday was a "piece of cake" - literally - and so it continued until just this year when I looked back to realize that indeed there may not be as many good years of health ahead as behind - no pun intended. What a revelation - if this is mid life then I will be around quite a bit longer than the average person.....130 !!! Seriously with a new regime of exercise (never have been a fan) but am giving it my best and slowing down a bit (Duncan says there is no need to rush-he has time) I may surprise the statistics.
UPDATE: We spent a part of January and February in Florida skipping from coast to coast and up and back to visit High Meadow's friends June & Bud Widdoes (Melbourne Beach) and Sally & Ray Earnhardt (Venice) as well as Winston friends Gail & Jim Bland (Naples) and Nan & Pat Currie (Naples). We also had fun in Vero Beach with Carlette and John Anderson , in Naples with Sara & Dan Underwood and in Venice with Karen & Pete Morrow. Yes we were free loaders extraordinaire. Although there was a limited amount of sunshine-who says "sunny Florida" ? - we had great fun with all.

We returned to the North Carolina mountains in time to celebrate there and in Winston with girlfriends for my birthday. So very special to have friends all around you....I am very blessed and then there was snow!
