65! How did that happen?

I wanted to post today to #thoughtfuldailypost tag that was started by @wesphilbin

Tomorrow is my birthday. I love that the universe celebrates it every year with shooting stars.
The Perseid meteor shower is already underway, but it will reach its peak from Sunday, Aug. 11 through Tuesday, Aug. 13. The full moon might dim them down this year, but it will still be worth remembering to look up! #lookingup

My kids and grandkids are arriving this morning and have a party planned to celebrate my birthday tomorrow. They have invited 30 people and have hired caterers to bring the food!

It is odd to think about turning 65 years old, when I really don't feel that old at all...at least while I am sitting in my comfy chair!

Hope everyone has a great weekend and remember to watch for meteors!

I think it was yesterday or today, I don't remember. That my mother told me that she only wants one thing to be able to travel to the USA and meet you and I told her what I would do if she does not know how to speak English and told me that it would only be enough for she to hug you so that you know how much she is grateful to you

Tell her that until we can be together, I can feel her love and hugs acrosd the miles. Although I don't speak much Spanish, several people in my family do. My grandkids mom teaches an English as a 2nd language class to Spanish speaking adults who are working towards getting a high school diploma. Both my son and daughter speak some Spanish. So we would all do just fine. And there are so many great voice translation apps these days. I hope someday we can do it!

Howdy Melinda! I sure can relate! I've been out in the heat working my tail off all summer just like I always have except I shorten the work day. I blame that on steemit though, not my age! I still haven't used a Senior Citizen discount yet, that just doesn't sound right, that's for old people!

I'm so glad the family is coming over, that sounds like quite the party!

Wow, sounds like quite the birthday plans! Happy BD!

It's a little disappointing that the meteor shower lined up with the full moon this year, but they should still be visible... ish. I was considering getting up at 3 AM after moonset on the besrt night, but I don't know if that'll happen. Plus, the last time I took photos of the meteor shower, someone called the police on me and they ruined a ten-minute long exposure by leaving their headlights on, pointed right at the camera.

No way! You and that camera are such trouble makers! Lots of clouds here tonight, but maybe I will still get a chance to see some.

My youngest granddaughter also has a birthday few days after mine. The rest of the family has winter birthdays so our shared birthday week gives us a connection I don't have with anyone else in the family!
