82 Years Young

Mom is 82 today. Could that be a reflection that my youth is passing away, as well? I'm in agreement with whomever coined the phrase, "you're as young as you feel". The only problem is that we all know that varies from day to day. As the picture indicates, mom seems to be buying into that phrase, too. I'm not so sure about the "feeling" part, but the acting part is for sure. I certainly don't remember her acting like this while the six of us siblings were growing up. Hmm, except for maybe the time she got on the "mini" motor bike and got a little out of control causing her to go through the bed linens that were hanging from the clothes line. Wow, that's a blast from the past...do kids even know what a clothes line is? Anyway, needless to say the bike went one way and mom went the other. Broken glasses and a bruised and scratched up face were her reward for feeling so young that day, which I bet she didn't feel the next morning when getting out of bed. So, today is her birthday and all she wants is some wings from Pluckers Wing Bar in Austin. She's never had them, but she figured since Kayla and Kristi both work there, she ought to give them a shot. Kayla's manager hooked her up with a bucket of wings for "MaMa" and off she went for a four hour road trip with the smell of wings in her car. I hope they made it! Enjoy your wings mom. May you have many more to come.
