Ok darlin' this piece is loaded with perfectly placed life-reflecting tidbits as you turn 65. So enjoyed ALL OF IT! What is it about this age marker that does that to us? Is the trigger a sort of age stigma tied to federal bennies eligibility? Well, whatever, I'm glad it got you to writing about it.

So here you are on the cusp of completing 65- me having moved on, off of it, during the last two years. Making the very most of it - "not wanting things, but wanting to do things" to paraphrase you. But also being reminded every day that it's a marker in every sense of that word. Green Beans, indeed!

Big virtual hug your way.

PS Of course your preference is for "french style."
