I saw Linda Bueno this past weekend. Even though my sister is married to her brother, I see her once in a blue moon. I couldn't even guess what year I last saw her. Unfortunately, she won't be able to make the reunion because she'll be having surgery about that time.
It was wonderful seeing her. She hasn't changed much over the years. If you passed her on the street, you'd immediately recognize her. Some people are like that. As for me, I look in the mirror and my mom and dad are staring back at me. At times it can be disconcerting. I guess because I can't turn back the clock, I'd better get used to looking at that old geezer in the mirror. LOL!
I sometimes screw with my husband by pulling the skin on my face back and saying, "See....look how much younger I am!" He just shakes his head and says, "If you got surgery, I wouldn't recognize you. I love you the way you are." That's either a sign of still loving me after 42 years or proof he really does need his eyes checked again.
I figure when the reunion comes, my lack of height will be a plus for me. Because I'm on the short side, I have to look up to a lot of people when I talk to them. That's a plus because it puts the light more even on my face highlighting the wrinkles less. When I talk to Grant K. he's so darn tall, I probably look like a young girl again. If I don't, he's kind enough to let me believe that. Thanks Grant!
