But one day, when I was in my 40s, I was on a picnic with some younger friends whose young children wanted to join other people wading in a shallow creek that runs through the park where we were. They don't bother me and I'm used to them. On one leg, a prominent purplish vein is behind my knee and runs down the inner side of the leg. Instead of making me "look my age," people say that it looks like a younger person following the trend of gray hair and shading.īut I've had some obvious varicose veins since my 40s. But usually the white is more visible since I wear it in a chin length bob. It is now two toned, a natural ombre effect, with white on top and dark slate gray at the nape and temples.

But I have occasionally been mistaken for being in my late 50s or early 60s.Ī couple years ago, I finally grew out the artificial color in my hair.
