My husband and I have belonged to a small gym near our home for many years now. Of course, the main reason for going there is to try to stay active and keep in shape. But over the years it has become a place where I know many people and I've even made some close friends. It is at this gym that I have been working on the art of friendship-making.

I turned sixty this past week. I am one of the babies of the baby boomer generation. I don't get too hung up on numbers and aging doesn't really bother me, although I must say it's a weird thing to be starting my seventh decade of life.

I'm posting this picture so you can see most of my eleven grandkids and meet my granddaughter Remy. Those are her legs off to the side. Haha. She's a doll and I thoroughly enjoy her. She just doesn't always care to have her picture taken. Somehow her position in this photo reminds me how I sometimes feel.
