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!!

A Couple of Rest Days

It has been a very full month.

Setting up the photography exhibit, the opening night, two weekends of visitors, two whale watching trips, a family reunion, half a dozen trips into Maryborough, photo restorations, a trip to Fraser Island, entering the Canon Photo5 competition, photography sales, new iPad, a drive to Tuan and farewelling the Chicklet family on their overseas holiday, just to mention a few.

We are worn out and need a couple of quiet days to rest and relax and build up some new energy.

I think our diet has suffered a bit too, which doesn't help with energy levels.

It's time to get back on track, start eating properly again and find that nice comfortable routine that makes us happy.

An early night tonight would be a pretty good start.

Sharing one of Adoring Husband's photos tonight.  One that I love and that I wish I could take credit for.

The Maheno wreck on Fraser Island.
Nite all.
