at this age...

One of the best things I've discovered about dating at this age, is that the men I'm dating are already old. Oh, okay... middle aged, that age group that gets bigger and bigger the older we get. Anyway, there are some little known benefits that come with dating 'middle aged' men. Well, like their eye sight for one thing. Hey, I'm not being mean here, it is just a fact, that they don't see as well as they once did. Really, 20-20 can be a bit over rated.

Just the other day, I was realizing I needed a pedicure. I had no time, then I realized, the toes weren't that bad and besides he doesn't see that well, I'd be just fine!

Just who am I dating?

Haven't you heard it said, that men marry their mothers. I don't know if it is true for women. I can tell you for sure, that the first time around, I did NOT marry my father. I may, however, now be dating him! It is just an odd feeling when he says or does something that is so reminisent of my dad. It is made weirder still by the fact that they have the same name. In times like this I call them Joe 1 and Joe 2.

I've heard it said...

I've heard it said, that the best thing about grandchildren is that you get to enjoy them, spoil and then.... send them home.

There are times, that dating in mid-life is a bit like that, enjoy him, spoil him or he spoils you and then.... send them home.
