This Classic Chassis Ain't Old!

Jaz/Joyce of Octoberfarm and Leeanna of Can We Have a New Witch Ours Melted both want to know how old am I? Well, here's a hint, girls --



That's right! I was born in '57 and that makes me 57 at the moment! I hope this is a lucky year for me because of the Double 57 -- like a Harmonic Convergence or something, LOL!

Now, it's true that some mornings I look and feel more like this 57 Chevy --

But that's easily remedied. All I have to do is just suck back a couple of black coffees from my special morning mug . . .


. . . and I'm ready to go out and take on the world again, baby!

And I still got nice fins too, if I do say so myself.

[Bonus points to Rosemary of Where Five Valleys Meet who noticed that I actually already spilled the beans age-wise in my recent post about the Canadian flag. Oopsie!]

    I wish that I was still 57 Debra - it is a good age to be

    In my day, the 55 and the 57 Chevy were the car to have. If you were lucky enough to own one, you were so cool.

    I almost spit coffee out of my mouth...I laughed so hard with that mug!

    You are just a year older than my husband and I think it's a damn good age! He's still smoking hot :)

    "Here's a hint: the direct answer!" You must be a great girlfriend/wife/partner/friend because you don't beat around the bush, nothing but straight facts! I love it. That really tickled me. I thought there was going to be a series of clues.

    I'm really enjoying these posts, I'm one year older, and my fins are definitely a little droopy!

    I love your mug! Want one, (hope you don't mind a copy cat.) I'm a little jealous of your age. You are likely through menopause, and that's where I want to be like yesterday. Patience is not my strong suit! :)

    For a moment I thought you said you were born IN a '57 Chevy which would have been very cool. Maybe not so much for your mother, though. I vaguely remember my fifties. They were good years, mostly.

    That makes you just one year older than Madonna, so that must be something to smile about. ;)

    Lots of 57 and older chevy cars in Cuba. Since Canadians could go to Cuba I guess opening up the US-Cuba relationship is no big deal to you northerners. Of course, we might ruin a good thing you got going there.
