PRE BIRTHDAY DELIGHTS

Uncategorized 2 Minutes

Age is just a number …

Cicely Tyson

Yeah right.

Don’t believe that for a minute.

At least not right now.

I’ve been dreading tomorrow for months. I hate to even say that number. 70 😩

I know. I know. Age is just a number blah blah blah. But not a number I’m liking. I guess in my mind I’ve always thought of 70 as OLD. Just thinking that number makes me feel old. 😝

Nothing I can do about it. It’s almost here. And I am not a happy camper. But then I never was a fan of camping. Haha.

The funny thing is that I don’t feel old until I think of that number. Maybe I should just think the number 50. That sounds so much better. Although it certainly didn’t when I turned 50. Hated that number too. And come to think of it I didn’t enjoy turning 30. I see a pattern emerging. But I was fine with 60. The mind is a curious thing. Or maybe my mind is a curious thing.

So for my pre birthday we did our normal yoga and gym. Great workouts. Love yoga. Treadmill is a necessary, not an actual joy. Thank goodness for TV screens on each treadmill.

Then off to The Wharf in Orange Beach for a few pre birthday delights.

Sounthern Grind for lunch.

A little 15 minute walk about and then to the AMC Classic Wharf 15 to see The Color Purple.

Hmmm. I realize it got rave reviews and although it had all the elements, compelling story, and wonderful singing, dancing, and acting, for some reason it didn’t grab me. For me, no memorable songs. No songs to hum or sing as I left the theatre. But that’s just my opinion.

Next stop – Kilwins for ice cream.

My favourite flavour down here: Chocolate Peanut Butter.

Sinfully rich chocolate with delicious hunks of peanut butter.

And to top it off good friends dropped by the house with flowers and a card. How sweet of them.

And one you’d never expect me to post.

Rappers Delight – The Sugarhill Gang

Take care and stay healthy.

With retirement comes the opportunity for new experiences. Debi has a passion for music, singing, theatre, and travel. With her BMEd and MEd she had an extensive career which included elementary music education, performing, vocal instruction, choral conducting, musical theatre directing, and clinician work. She has, for the most part, retired from this very successful music career. But really, does one ever retire from music? I think not. So now the stage is set for the next act: interweaving her love for music, travel, and whatever else comes her way. Wherever her travels take her Debi shares her exploits: musical adventures, local interests, historical sites, local cuisine, the journey there and back, plus whatever life sends her. She'll share the hits and the misses, the successes and the failures, as well as any helpful hints she discovers along the way.
