These are the thoughts and observations of me — a woman of a certain age. (Oh, my, God, I'm 65!) I'm single. I'm successful enough (independent, self supporting). I live just outside Chicago, the best city in the world. I'm an aunt and a friend. I feel that voices like mine are rather underrepresented online or in print. So here I am. If my musings resonate with you, please visit my blog again sometime.

Today would have been her birthday
#47, I believe. I wonder what a middle-aged Princess Diana would be doing. Charity work, for sure. Perhaps interfering with her sons' love lives. I don't think she would encourage them to marry as young as she did, nor to wait as long as their father did. I wonder how she would have felt about Harry's combat service. I'd like to think that she would have remarried … to JFK, Jr. and they would both still be alive today, causing unparalleled tabloid frenzy wherever they went. I guess the little girl in me still wants to believe in princesses, Camelot and happily ever after.

I still remember when she died. It was right before I started high school-maybe a week before...about 11 o'clock at night when I went in to say good night to my parents and seeing the news story on the news.
