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!!

Big Day In

It's been a big day.  Nothing exciting, just full on and I think I only sat down for about 30 minutes all up, today.

So I am exhausted and am struggling to stay awake as I write this.

This evening at about 5pm, we grabbed some wine, cheese, strawberries, dips and crackers AND our cameras and we all ... and by 'all', I mean Little Brother, Charlie Chuckles, Adoring Husband and myself, drove down to the Lions Park and watched the sun set.

It was a most pleasant 90 minutes and we only came home because Charlie Chuckles and Adoring Husband were cold.

I had put dinner in the oven before we went out, so it was ready when we came home.

Here is tonight's sunset shot.



Nothing spectacular, but still very pleasant to the eye.

Now we are ALL heading off to bed, including me!!

Nite all.
