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!!

Beautiful one day .. pass the beer nuts

Queensland advertising campaign - "Beautiful one day .. Perfect the next"

It's not true!

It hasn't stopped raining since my plane landed yesterday!

Because of the misty rain, there was no visit to the Seat of Knowledge this morning.  Adoring Husband drove me to the bakery to at least get a coffee to start the day.

The rest of the day has been lazy ... watching the footy and playing with some holiday pics, so I have less words and more pics tonight.

Good ol' Aussie sunrise through the farm fence.
A closer look through the grasses
One of many abandoned farmhouses that we passed
A shed hidden behind the grasses and Autumn trees
The sheep and birds were doing their own dance across the field
That is all.
Nite all.
