Have you ever heard anything so silly? But I did stop and think and decided that I'd stop wearing them when I was 70. Then realized how close that is and changed it to 80. And you can stop colouring your nails.Paulinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15276284964859313257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-495553397518653924.post-87127815220051887872012-03-16T07:23:16.736+13:002012-03-16T07:23:16.736+13:00Feeling young is fabulous but growing old is a ble...Feeling young is fabulous but growing old is a blessing!!!

Thank you for mentioning my blog on here. I understand very well how it makes you feel to think about your friends. Over the years, it has become a lot clearer to me who really are friends and who are acquaintances, and I am already looking forward to the cocktail party I am throwing next week Thursday for some of them.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.com
