She Can Drive?



Speaking of age, at 45 I generally feel very young. Is that a product of having many friends in their 20's and 30's? Maybe. So I wonder how "young" I'll feel when I'm 60 or 70. One of my favorite authors, May Sarton, frequently wrote of her bewilderment that she felt so young into her 60's and 70's (she lived to her 80's). She also had many friends and many of them were much younger. Ironically, when I was in my 20's and taking care of my young son, I felt very old. I remember remarking several times how I felt like I was in my 40's (yeah, 40 was sorta old back then) but being a single mother in her young 20's can do that.
I'm going to miss my young friend. She was a joy to be around and I got to play "mother-daughter" for a few weeks. Carrie will be returning to the States in the fall (Pennsylvania) and after taking another intensive English course will enter the University of Pennslyvania as a freshman in January. I'm sure we'll meet again.
