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!!

Catch Up Time

I decided today that I needed to visit a friend.  I have only seen this friend twice in the last six months and the last time was New Years Eve.

After speaking to her husband a couple of times recently, I discovered that her very good girlfriend was here for some recuperation after having cancer removed from her bowel.  She was very lucky to catch it early and only required the surgery, without chemotherapy, and is recovering slowly.

So after my ride this morning, I stopped in for what I planned to be a one hour visit.

Three glasses of champagne and four and a half hours later, I found my way home!

I enjoyed my afternoon and I hope to visit again before the Blonde Bombshell leaves for home.

Number 17 of the February Photo a Day challenge ...

17. Time
I didn't want to photograph a clock for the title 'time' and thought this showed time in a meaningful way.

Only one more photo for the 104 challenge.  A nude human.

A Nude Human - Photo 44 of 104
I took a lot of photos on my ride this morning, but none of them were outstanding.  I have a couple that I want to play with and hopefully will post them tomorrow.

Chicklet visit tomorrow!!  So, sleep time for me now.

Nite all.
