AWK! Did You See That?

Yesterday, as I was getting ready to go out to dinner with our son and favorite daughter-in-law, I saw this:



a white eyebrow--my first!

"Hello," it waved to me. "I've been hiding, but here I am!"

Quietly, I opened the bathroom drawer where I keep my tweezers, and without letting it see them. TWICK! I yanked that sucker out!

(sigh) Now, I KNOW I'm old. Shades of Andy Rooney.

Signs of Aging

Dawn from Dawn's Daybreak had a question the other day. She asked, what are signs that cause you to realize that you are getting older? She cited failing eyesight, graying hair, wrinkled hands, and sunken eyes. I can add a few more. Can we talk?

Every now and again, when I rub my chin, I feel a little stubble--a tickle. When I touch ever so gently, I can feel a soft hair on my chinny-chin-chin. A look into the magnifying mirror shows me the culprit--an inch-long black hair! How does it get so long so quickly? I grab my tweezers and yank that sucker out.



I never know what to call these attempts at beard-growing that my chin is making, but I think I've found a solution.

We'll call them fallen eyelashes!


Have you begun to experience fallen eyelashes?
