Welcome to the Quinquagenarian Club & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up On the Edge #707
Yesterday, May 30, 2024, at 7:47 a.m. EST, I became an official member of the Quinquagenarian Club. Although I am an official member, there isn’t really an official club for quinquagenarians. Unless you count the AARP. I guess they are actually an official club for people aged 50 and older. But I am not an official member of that club. They do keep inviting me though. Maybe I should consider their invitation. I celebrated my 50th birthday yesterday quietly at home with Jeff and the boys. There was no fanfare because I am not a big fan of fanfare. Ha. Being the center of attention makes me incredibly uncomfortable. I…

Extra SIA Bonus Outfit | “Gosh! Do I Look as Old as All That!” by Dr. Seuss & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up On the Edge #706
When I first shared the artwork for this week’s Style Imitating Art challenge, I mentioned that I had photographed two different outfits to represent the Dr. Seuss painting that I chose. I was unable to decide which outfit better reflected the artwork so I shared the first outfit that I photographed on Monday. As I was getting dressed for that first set of photos, I spotted this floral dress hanging in my closet and the colors perfectly captured the essence of the painting. So I decided to photograph this one, too. Since I had nothing planned to share with you today, I figured why not kick off the holiday weekend…
