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!!

Lucky Thirteen

So my framing issue is not as big an issue as first thought.

I am now short thirteen A3 sized frames.

My three options are:

  1. Contact all the framers in town and try to get thirteen cheap frames made up.
  2. Go to Crazy Clarks, Sams Warehouse or another el-cheapo shop and buy cheap frames.
  3. Reprint thirteen photos at a smaller size so that they fit the frames that are available.
Option three is the least expensive and the one that I've selected.

All is right with the world again.

I had my final meeting with The Artist this afternoon.

On Monday, Adoring Husband and I will get the reprints done on the way to the gallery.

While the gallery staff are disassembling this months exhibit, we will frame the photos and then on Tuesday, we will spend the day hanging them in the gallery and cataloguing.

Everything is under control.

I had a nice lunch with the girls down at the park today.  The weather was beautiful and nineteen of us ended up in an entertainment area belonging to one of the ladies who lives on the water front.

She has her house on the market and she has asked me to take photos for the real estate website because she isn't happy with the professional photos that have been taken.

Funny how this is the second job I've been asked to do because a professional photographer has not been satisfactory.

Speaking of photographers.  I found our wedding photos yesterday, and looking at them now, they are even worse than I remembered.

I've kept them out to show the girls when they are here on the weekend.  I know that they will be horrified and will share my pain.

I wish I'd known the Nikonian back then.  Her 'happy snaps' would have been a million times better than the photos that we have.

You live and learn.

Crikey!  I just looked at the clock and it's almost 12.30am!

I have the Chicklet family coming for lunch tomorrow, so I'm off to bed, so that I can be fresh and rested for my baby.

MUST REMEMBER TO TAKE PHOTOS!

Nite all.
