Nice job. Been there, done that. My daughter is now 30. One of us is getting old!

These 50-word challenges are a good exercise in trimming back, but I always want to say more. I can't believe you have a 30 year old daughter, Scott. I thought YOU were thirty.

Those were the days. Many moons ago. My oldest daughter will turn 40 this year. 😬

As long as you live they will be your babies. Funny how that works. I love Justin Deming's challenges on these 50-word stories. They are really good practice in editing, but I rarely manage to make a complete story. I have succeeded only two or three times. This one was just a little conversation. Thanks for reading 🍁Leaves, Mark!
