Yes, I remember feeling that way as well.. I remember the first time I noticed
Mom was getting on in years.  Before that, she always seemed to be 'ageless'
(g)  She still looks a lot younger than her 85 years though!  That is amazing
to me. :)

Yep!  Or got a job :)  When our grandson just 14 got his first job, that was a
shocker :) :)  I shouldn't find it strange though, I remember also getting my
first job at 14..
