As a woman of a certain age whose parents are no longer here, I rarely go home. It seems that when I do go and get together with family it is always for a sad occasion. Each time we promise each other that we will get together sooner rather than later. I finally made it for a happy occasion. My Aunt Gladys turned 90 years young, and we came together for this celebration.

- Wishing my aunt a happy birthday
As women of a certain age, we should try to get together with family just because. I know my aunt had a wonderful time. There were five generations of her immediate family–so many that we could not get them all together to take a picture. Remember “thisisyourbestyear”. Enjoy your family.

July 5, 2014 at 1:35 pmI totally agree. My grandmother is 91 and I make it a priority to see her on the weekends. Although I live an hour away, the time spent with her is well worth the trip. We watch Family Feud together and she cooks turnip greens and hot water cornbread for me every time.
