I don't know where the years go. I don't feel as old realizing I am 55 today as I do realizing that David will be 30 on Christmas Day! How did I get old enough to have a 30year old?
I remember the day I turned 30. I had to go to a local hardware store and I have David (who was almost 5), John (who as almost 3) and Melissa (who was about 7 months old) with me. This particular store was a family run business. The staff were mostly ladies in their 50s and 60s.
David, in a VERY loud voice (as only a child can do), exclaimed to one of them, "Guess what, my mom is 30 today - isn't that OLD!" The ladies all laughed - I think it made their day.
Gee, now I can get a Humpty's Senior's Club discount card - there have to be some advantages to getting older. Double Nickles, here I come.

Ha ha, Dawn, I have you beat by 4 years. Happy 55th birthday, belatedly!
Last week I was interviewing someone and at the conclusion, just to make polite conversation, I asked him about the recent trip to the Holy Land he had mentioned. He said earnestly, "Oh, it was wonderful, everyone should go once in their life. YOU should go SOON!" I haven't stopped laughing!
