I'm 55 and have been married to my dh for 34 years. I'm a mother of 3 daughters... (32, 29 & 24) and one granddaughter, with 2 more on the way. Up until 3 years ago I was a home day care provider, which I did for 28 years. My dh/I just recently purchased the Insurance Agency that my dh has worked for, for the past 20+ years, so I am now back working (part time) learninig the Insurance Business, with him. I basically spend the rest of my time helping my elderly mom, taking care of my granddaughter and caring for our home.

Rhonda... WB, good to see you back and posting. :)

I agree. I didn't mention my age, but am proud to be 51 and among the more seasoned members of the board. LOL

[AnnW]

Who said they felt old? LOL

[kat]

Who said they felt old? LOL

No one, I think we all said you're as young as you feel. I never said I was old, just "seasoned". Age is just a number.
