My dad used to say the Montana Department of Transportation was responsible for me, as my parents lived for a time next to the Transportation yard... In December, the highway snow plows warmed up in the yard to head out at 5 A.M. It was too early to get up, and too cold to go back to sleep.

I am uploading a video of the emus in the lake. The lake-pond is behind our house, but it belongs to our neighbor (who is the greatest ever!). We walk around it all the time; fish and swim in it, too.
I am August 22, 1953. Wedding anniversary is August 28, 1971. We married right out of high school. 41 years this year. We wanted to get married in June, but Father forbid marriage before I turned 18.

Hahaha!!! Only if you started driving at 14 as well. I think that is why I am such a good driver. I drove for years before I finally went down to get my Driver's license and make it legal. So I always drove the speed limit and behaved myself. Once I got my DL I got a hotrod though. Still didn't get a ticket but I did push it now and then when some young guy wanted to race. IDK what it was! I just couldn't let him think his puny little car was a serious piece of machinery! I guess, even before I went into teaching, that I've always felt the need to instruct others.
I'm only 30. Most days I still mentally feel like I'm 12 and I'm waiting for my mom to come home and ask me why I'm wearing my pajamas at 6 PM and have a boy in the house.
Ha ha! I still feel that way at times. My Dad was over here the other day and as we were out front saying our goodbyes my DH came up behind me and hugged me in a familiar way (nothing horrible just nuzzled my neck) and I got all embarrassed and pushed him away. Jeez I know we are all grownups here and I wouldn't think twice about it in front of friends but it's my Dad!!! I don't wanna see some guy hanging on my daughter like that! lol
Turning 30, 40 and 50 never bothered me either. I don't believe in swallowing the media garbage that growing older is a horrible thing. I figure it's just their job cause you can't make a bunch of money on skin care, etc if you tell folks they are fine just as they are. But... folks, you are fine, in fact fantastic, just as you are! I never tell folks I am younger than I am. If I were to lie about my age I would go the other way. Why would I say I'm 10 years younger when I know folks will then be thinking, "What the heck happened to her?"
Probably not unless she could have her 20 year old body back as well. I like my DH's 60 year old body. He's still a hunk to me!
