My random thoughts and reactions to my everyday life. The voices like a forum.
I do not know quite what happened or when , but my hubby and I now qualify for seniors' discounts at some venues. This creates a quandary; in order to save money, but not face, we have to admit to our age. HMMMM..... We definitely do not consider ourselves to be old. In this day and age ,when people as a whole are living longer and healthier lives why are 'young seniors', those in their fifties, like moi, considered 'old'?? It's so true that age is just a perception! "Maturity" is very objective/subjective, and I object! Whew, a few years have skittered by since I composed this biography block. Those "fifties" are in the rear view mirror and they are distant, fond memories. Oh, I do not plan to stop writing any time soon.

SEPTEMBER 1st, 2023 Prompt: Create an original quote re WDC's 23rd birthday and expand to any topic.
         Hmm, create a quote. How's this one? Never belabour another birthday.
         Birthdays are inevitable for many of us. Each year another one rolls around ideally with a scrumptious cake. There's no better excuse to indulge in sweet calorie intake than an occasion that celebrates another trip around the sun.
         I appreciate a confection that transforms the humble egg, flour, butter and sugar into a delight for my taste buds. It's nothing short of magic. This is a wondrous alchemy.
         Any flavour, any combination of ingredients harmonizes to produce an acceptable birthday cake, or as the chic French like to purr 'gateau.' A slice of lemon custard is comparable to banana, or pineapple, or chocolate, or cocoanut, or carrot, or zucchini. The fact that something delicious may be created from veggies and/or fruit is mind-boggling. They all tempt me to the point of drooling, or as the ungauch French would properly claim 'salivating.'
         I like cake. I do not deny it. Be it upside down, or inside out, square, or round, or layered a cake is a cake. I would never turn away a slice of cake. It can be warm, fresh from the oven, or chilled, plain or smothered in icing. I am not fussy. Never under any circumstances would I refuse cake.
         Over the years I've had the pleasure of numerous birthday cakes. As a lady I am duty-bound by the universal book of etiquette not to reveal my age and thus the number of said cakes. Who doesn't appreciate a bit of mystery? Am I being coy? Of course I'm not. My age is nobody's business.Am I at long last old enough to know better? I cannot admit that I am. What exactly am I supposed to know better anyway? I just know I like birthday cake, but I seem to have belaboured that point.
         May I recommend that WDCers treat themselves to the cake of their choosing to celebrate 23 marvelous years of WDC.
