Tam’s Front Porch Ponderings Tammy Terry [email protected] Days Are Growing Shorter! Arrgh! The days are growing shorter! Arrgh, I hate it when that happens. I don’t like get- ting up in the morning when it’s dark and I like to play outside until 9:00 p.m. Of course it doesn’t make any Adult Ed.

I’m just not ready to give up my sandals or my tank tops even though I do love Fall. I know, I know, get on one side of the fence or the other so let’s just blame my con- fused frame of mind on old age. That seems to work for everything else. At the Doc- tor they say, “at your age” or the eye doctor “well when you reach a certain age”, I’m sure it could work for me wishing for the beautiful colors of Fall with the warm benefits of Summer. It’s true what they say, the older you get, the faster time flies. Wasn’t it wonder- ful when you were young and your whole life was be- fore you? Lazy afternoons of nothing to do, climbing Rock House mountain or raking up piles of leaves just so you could jump in them. Yeah, if I’d know how fast time would fly I would have taken better care of myself. No jumping in leaf piles now, oh well I could…I just couldn’t get up once I did. I think I should have paid more attention in health class and learned all I could about arthritis, it seems that we have become very close friends, but certainly not by my choice! And where did all of my energy go? Could have some- thing to do with the fact that I’m overweight, you think? Who has time to exercise? Can’t I count doing the dish- es and laundry and changing the sheets, feeding the dog, The Estill County Tribune, September 24, Page 3 ESTILL SPRINGS LUNCHES Blueberry or Banana Muffin or Raisin Bran Cereal, Brown Sugar Cinnamon Pop Tart, Pineapple Juice and Milk Breakfast Pizza Cereal, Pop Tarts Yogurt, Asst.

I’m up and moving around, not as fast as I used to, but I am moving--why oh why do I still struggle with this “baby fat”?! You know, where I had that child thirty one years ago and that other one, twenty four years ago. Just can’t seem to get rid of those extra pounds I put on during pregnancy! Now that I’m finished complaining about the down side of my age, let me look at the positive aspects. I don’t have to worry about color- ing my hair anymore. In my mind I will always be a blonde but in the mirror I am now silver. No big deal! It’s funny when I am shopping, women will stop me and ask what “color” I dye my hair. I want to look at them like they’ve got three heads and say “do you REALLY think I want my hair this color?” but I’m polite and reply, “I’m not sure, the good Lord gave me this color so I suppose you’d have to ask Him”. I prefer to call the lines in my face “Laugh Lines” instead of wrinkles. I’ve spent the majority of my life laughing about something so “laugh lines” suits me just fine. I had the honor of being a cheerleader for a couple of years and also a Marching Band member, if my knees, hips or back hurt I guess I have no one to blame but myself. I wouldn’t give up those High School memo- ries for all the tea in China. Speaking of tea, I think I’ll fix myself a big glass of sweet tea and sit on my front porch for awhile and pon- der all the joys of growing old. If I’m still sitting there tomorrow, somebody please stop and check to see if I’ve forgotten how to get back in the house! Could be because I’m a blonde or could be be- cause…I’m old!
