Cameras are not our friends

Reason number one people over 50 shouldn't try to take self-portraits:

Double chins.

 

Reason number two people over 50 shouldn't take close-ups:

Lifting your chin just makes you look dumb.

 

Reason number three you should be taking pictures of your kids:

Even when you get a stranger to take your picture, your kids are still cuter. And do you see Mary Anne STANDING ON A LEDGE? To be taller?

December 8 was Mary Anne's 51st birthday...we think she's the youngest one in the bunch. The three girls drove to Huntsville and met Tony for lunch...that's actually twice in one year we've done something...we're on a roll!

Oh!Oh!Oh! The three of us went into SuperTarget to buy butter, for me, and coffee for all three of us. And when we came out...not a one of us had a clue where we'd left the car. Not a clue. So Brenda started hitting the emergency button to set off the alarm but, and I'm not making this up, we couldn't even remember what SECTION we were in so we had to wander around, punching the remote, until we set off the alarm. When we DO get old? We're gonna be dangerous.

Maintaining

My plan here is to keep this on standby on a regular basis, and then every five years talk about how cool we are! Or something.  And then for our 50th reunion, we'll print the entire thing out. But as has been pointed out, we have to shift to five-year-interval parties now. Age thing. That would be 2009.
