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!!

Missed Opportunities

What a gloriously beautiful day it was here today!

They told me at the 'seat of knowledge', that in the last week, on the mornings or afternoons that I haven't been there, they've seen both dugongs AND dolphins in the river!!

Dolphins are rarely seen in the river here.  Everybody loves dolphins and I would LOVE to get photos of them in my river!!

We had a visit from a lovely little Butcher Bird at the 'seat of knowledge' this morning.



I left there with Aussie H and after we checked our mail at the Post Office (we don't have a mail delivery service in our little town), I decided to go with her on a long ride around one of the lakes in town.

We ran into some ducks frolicking in and on the edge of the water.

He looks like he's leading everyone to a party.
Is he the Pied Piper or is he Dorothy on the yellow brick road!

This afternoon, Adoring Husband was lured by the moon and borrowed my camera to take this photograph.



Must be full moon coming up soon.

Hopefully another opportunity to catch the moon rising over the water.  I missed the dugongs and dolphins, but I don't want to miss the full moon.  Some opportunities, you can plan for, and shouldn't be missed!

Nite all.
