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!!

Pumpkin Time

It's already after midnight!  So this will be short.


I really loved the light in this photo that I took yesterday afternoon at the lagoon.  I was hoping to get a shot for the other flickr challenge "Natural Light/Sunflare".  This isn't good enough for the challenge but I still like it.

We had some neighbours over for a barbecue dinner tonight so that they could have a look at the new campervan.  It has been a very pleasant evening, even though they left early because it's a school night and they have a young school age daughter.

Oh and Adoring Husband reports that the bed in the campervan is very comfortable :D

I can report that the kingsize bed in our bedroom is very very comfortable for one person!  That's where I'm headed right now.

Nite all.
