I love to have a good laugh, especially if I'm laughing at myself. It's okay because I just need one every once in a while. I was recently at an event and saw some old school mates. We hugged and greeted one another. One school mate looked at me and said, " We are some good looking senior citizens aren't we". I smiled and just said, "I'm so glad to see you". At that very moment, I didn't want to be associated with the phrase "senior citizens". How dare me? The good laugh came in when I thought about the benefits I'm receiving as a senior citizen. Discounts off of food at restaurants, some medicines at the pharmacy, certain trips I can take, and many other discounts available to me according to AARP. It's not that I'm getting old it is I'm just vintage (ha ha). Hooray, I can accept the age I'm in.
Here's the cards I made today: After having a feeling of I'm just vintage, I thought how incredible it is to be this way. Still looking good according to my school mate.

| You 'Not Getting Old Just..."Vintage" SC543 Enabler's List: white, black and red cardstock; a picture of an old classic car (cut apart); foam tape; followed sketch # 543 from Splitcoast Stampers |
 |
| Incredible Enabler's List: white and teal cardstock; Spellbinder's Tudor Rose Card Front; die cut (umbrella) from Cricut Design Space; clear word sentiment
If you're at that age where you can shout, HOORAY, I'm a senior citizen, do it. We have lived long enough to enjoy all the benefits it provides.
Thanks for taking a little time to be with me today. As always, you are welcomed to post a comment. I enjoy reading your thoughts.
Sending you a hug and LOVE,
Lois
