I Still Remember When Thirty Was Old

I haven't had much computer time lately for a number of reasons - asthma issues with my 6-year-old being the biggest one. As much as my family loves springtime, we always know there's bound to be a new growth/pollen complication or two. Before the problems arrived we did manage to have a lovely day for my birthday - we went to a park an hour north of us and spent the day exploring it's eerily impressive Indian burial mounds. This was followed by a self-guided tour of the Lottie Cooper, one of the only Lake Michigan shipwrecks (or any shipwreck, for that matter) that is on displayed on land. The day was topped off with a stop at the dollar store, where we stocked up on frog-catching nets, beachballs, and cute checkered tea towels. A fine day, indeed!

Are you familiar with that line above from Deanna Carter's song Strawberry Wine? I think about it every birthday...usually with both a smile and tear!
