Sweet is not exactly a word that describes me, but my husband set up my blog, and that is what he named it. Seeing that he is my biggest fan, how could I change it?

Let's All Celebrate

                                                         Mixed Media with collage

When I was 8 years old, I came home from school and confessed to my mother that I had lied to my friends. She said, "Oh Cissy, what did you lie about?". I replied, "your age". All my friend's mothers were much younger and I was embarrassed. My mother was 38!!!!!!

Well, today I turned 50 and I can't imagine what my children think about a mother who is half a century old. Grace, my 14 yr old told me last week that I use to be cool, but not any more. Actually, she doesn't know how cool I really am!!!

My wonderful friends gave me a party this past weekend. I felt so blessed to be surrounded by so many people I love and care about. God has been so faithful since I've returned home to Mississippi, restoring old friendships and bringing new people into my life. I am indeed a very happy, fortunate 50 year old!!

    This is awesome Cis! I absolutely love it!
    Don't pay any attention to those kids. Every generation thinks they invented "cool" or "sick" or "fresh" or whatever they call it now! Just a few years ago my oldest son rolled his eyes and said "could you be any more embarrassing?" I ignored him but should have said, why yes, I could be MUCH more embarrassing. Want me to? Now, a mere 4 years later, he seems to think I'm, well - not cool certainly, but not embarrassing! Happy Birthday! You wear your age very well!
