Here is my first post on my first blog!
An amazingly convoluted Spring and Summer for this gal. I will need to update you all on my volcano experience, my pre-teen grandson shared joys (and not so joys), my travels to Ireland at last and reconnection with my own Anam Cara, Jeff. Then the pre-wedding travel across America, visiting with sons and their families. The two weeks before Jess and Lili's wedding, then the actual wedding itself. Our trip back to Michigan through the Great American West and my thoughts on leaving the mountains yet again. SOB! But home in Allegan has its value and joy too. So, more on all that for any of you, and me who are semi interested!
Being one of the first of the Baby Boomers, I think I might have a slight bit of insight to share with the world about whats up with all that. Who knows, eh? But the big news is that in less than 6 months, I WILL be 64 and that is an intense and screechingly real number. Who KNEW!
Speaking as an 'about-to-apply-for-my-Social-Security' persona, I can readily relate to your 'when-I'm-64' thoughts and feelings -- although they do stem from only a slightly different viewpoint: that of a male. Fast forwarding from the year of our initial connection, to within six months of your same-number birthday, I do not discount the years in between (they produced wonderful children and grandchildren aplenty in both arenas), but I do revel in the years we have spent since reconnection on Nov. 6, 2001. You are my Anam Cara -- and let us share the many years hence, exploring all that is you and I, but mostly all that is US.

As I said once before, I will be reading 'When I'm 64' on an everyday basis ... and invite you to look in on 'From the Isles' when you can.
