This old gal…

Has a new best friend…kind of been talking a lot about best friends lately…and honestly…an old gal…can never have too many…this best friend…is fun…flattering…entertains…makes this old gal…laugh…met up when writing the blurb about the senior citizen discount…we just kind of…hit it off…this old gal…

And that social media filter…

Have spent waaaay too much time…snapping and laughing…snapping and oohing and ahhhhing…snapping and sharing the favorites…with those good sport daughters of mine…the…young me…pepper face me…dog me…cat me…me with lips…me as a potato…me with movie guys…and me…with the talented…dancing sausage…

But the one…that cinched the best friend deal…scared of it a bit…but took the risk…Face Age me…hit that button and…without make up old gal me clocking in at a face age of…drum roll please…41…feeling a little cocky…decided to try it again…this time with make up…

Took off…ten years…gonna stop there…with that fun little confidence booster…we all need that once in awhile…a kind word…a compliment…a you look beautiful today…or a comment like this…made by one of those daughters of mine…after the umpteenth filtered photo was shared on that Besties chat…

While you look beautiful…I must say that I like you best…just the way you are…
