I'm surprised I recognised her at all, there's no family resemblance.

I'm stuck at 5'7", she's now at 5'9" (takes after her tall dad's side of the family). She likes to say "Aw Uncle Doug, remember when I was such-and-such tall and you were taller than me? Now..." Yes Sophia, I get it--I get more & more shorter every year :)ApacheDughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05520433539816634566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-72476562679917438482019-10-24T09:16:10.782-04:002019-10-24T09:16:10.782-04:00I don't consider myself "old" or &qu...I don't consider myself "old" or "aging" until I see my niece's children getting older and realize if they are getting older, so am I.
