Nice to see you!

Three major events occurred for me last year (2010), all in the space of about 2 weeks. I turned 50. The following day I got married. Two weeks later, my oldest daughter became pregnant with her first child and my first grandchild.

Most middle-aged people will tell you that in their minds, they still feel 20 something. It's the same for me.

Wasn't it only yesterday that I was planning a night out with guys from the surf club? That gorgeous new perm. Flaired, cuffed denims and the red t-shirt with the off-the-shoulder frill. Corked platform wedgies. **sigh**

Suddenly I'm looking in the mirror and wondering how 30 years can flash by so damned quickly!

So here I am in cyberspace, sharing my genuine shock and horror with anyone who'll listen and maybe I'll even meet some other over 50s who find themselves in the same predicament!

Welcome to my dilemna!!

A Little Ray of Sunshine

This morning I snuck out to the back yard and sat in the sunshine for twenty minutes.

Some Vitamin D can't go astray to aid my healing process.

My photography group on the Flickr website has been issued a photographic challenge entitled 'Glass' and the closing date is 20th July.  I have my thinking cap on and there are a couple of ideas floating around in my head.

Tomorrow, I hope to find the energy to set up my idea and take a couple of photos to enter into the challenge.

Tomorrow is also our visitors' last day here.  The Quilting Queen and her Genius Daughter are on a road trip and have got to spend some quality time with Vegan Chickie, The Bare-chested Chef and Chicklet while I have been quarantined.

I hope to be able to spend a little time outside in the sunshine with them tomorrow, but I am definitely not well enough to go anywhere, and I don't want to spread my germs.

There are so many things that I should be doing by now.

Seeing my boys at the boat ramp on the weekend, Christmas in July on Saturday night, golf yesterday, swimming tomorrow, followed by morning tea with the ladies, and most importantly, cuddling my Chicklet!!

Things that made me smile today ...

How cute!  Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy!

Isn't this adorable?!
Vegan Chickie was my Mother's 'Little Ray of Sunshine'.  Chicklet is my 'Little Ray of Sunshine'.  There is a song by Brian Cadd, and sung by the 1970s band 'Axiom' ...


This is the song that my mother dedicated to Vegan Chickie when she was a baby and now I think of it when I look at Chicklet.

Just thought I would share a Little Ray of Sunshine :o)

Nite all
