Yup, today my twin sister and I (along with Eddie Vedder, former lead singer of Pearl Jam) turn 50.
It makes me giggle to say I’m 50 because I feel as though I am lying. My body might be 50, by my mind and soul are not.
As a kid, Christmas birthdays are hard because you fear your special day will get lost in the holiday shuffle. At 50, you sort of hope it will.
Here, are some of my favorite books that turned 50 this year:
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl
The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein
Harriet the Spy by Louise Fitzhugh
Flat Stanley by Jeff Brown
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang by Ian Fleming
Whistle for Willie by Ezra jack Keat
Ribsy by Beverly Cleary
The Pushcart War by Jean Merrill
Rascal by Sterling North
The Book of Three by Lloyd Alexander
Well, it looks as though I am in good company! Have a wonderful day and a wonderful holiday season!

I still think young – I’m closing in on 65 😀
Happy Birthday! I turned 50 in January and wrote a post about Harriet the Spy on the Nerdy Book Club blog. I didn’t know we shared the same year with some of the other books. Thanks for sharing those. Hope you have a great day!

50 is only a number. We are as old as we feel…although admittedly there are days when I feel quite old. Anyway, Happy birthday to you and your sister. Here’s wishung you many more.
Happy birthday, Adrienne!!!
It’s a special day, so I hope you have a special celebration happening! I know what you mean about not not thinking that is truly your number. I had the same issue on my birthday this year, but you need to add ten to your number for mine. 🙂
Happy Birthday! You are in great company!
Happy Birthday! You are in great company indeed.
Happy Birthday! and Welcome to the 50’s! This is a wonderful decade and may I say one filled with Magic and Miracles! Enjoy!!!
Happiest of birthdays, Adrienne. You definitely are in good company!
You are in wonderful company! I know about those December birthdays – the 23rd is my brother’s and the 25th in my sister’s. I try hard to remember their special days.
