"Everyone is the age of their heart". ~Guatemalan Proverb
I had a birthday last week but my children were not able to all get together until yesterday.
When I came home from church they were at my house.
They asked me if I wanted all my candles on the cake or if it would make me sad.

As long as there was one candle to blow out they could do what they wanted.
(I happen to be really proud of my age because I have worked really hard to get to this point- so a bonfire was o.k. with me too.)
Anyway, they had a light-bulb moment amongst themselves
And whispered as they secretly hid their new idea for the candles.
This is what was lit up across my cake:
Squinting your eyes may help.
Do you see OLD in there or is my eyesight going too?
(Maybe I should be cognizant of the AARP and Scooter Chair mailings I have been receiving?)
