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!!

Damn That Champagne!!

I'm playing golf tomorrow with Woman of Many Talents, for the first time in almost a year!!

According to the weather forecast, we may be rained in and our date may, once again, have to be postponed another week.

This afternoon I visited the Blonde Bombshell at Adopted Sister's place.  (One day I will tell you the story about why she is called 'Adopted Sister')

I took two Vodka Cruisers with me, which I drank, and then a full champagne glass was placed in front of me.  Yes .. I drank that too .. and then another .. and then another!  Ugh!


These are the two trouble makers who influenced me so badly!

Adopted Sister has yellow globes in her outdoor downlights, so it was very difficult to get the fluorescent yellow colour out of the photograph!  If you think this is yellow, you should see the original!

They have been best friends for about 30 years.

I have to be up at the break of dawn tomorrow, so I have one photo from my 104 challenge to post ..


A 'very special' local woman and I'm pretty sure she reads this blog.  Isn't she lovely?

That is all.  It's all over for me.  Damn that champagne!!

Nite all.
