Sunscreen may prevent sunburn, but it does zippidedodah for freckles. I noticed a whole constellation of those little suckers across my nose yesterday, when I put on my glasses to check for lash clumps. Hell, I thought they had gone the way of Modess pads! And then I remembered, and got to imagine myself a 12 year old sapling again, all skinny and bow-legged, in my pretty pink and white swimsuit with the ruffles on the butt. I forgot that I am actually a gnarly old oak badly in need of pruning. It is like youth just bloomed across my face. How sweet is that!
