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!!

Day 18 of a Year in my Life

Had a wonderful day today catching up with the family and playing in the park with little Chicklet.  She's a crazy girl!



Did some shopping at Eumundi Markets ... always fun :)

Had a most delicious lunch at 'Thomas Corner Eatery'.  I hesitate to post their web address because I don't want it to get too busy there but how can I not share something that absolutely deserves to be shared.

The food is wonderful.  I highly recommend the Slow Roasted Duck on the lunch menu and then if you have room for dessert ... the dark chocolate mousse.

The staff are very friendly and efficient and the atmosphere is delightful ... so good that I even forgot that we were situated on a busy corner!

So today, I am grateful for good food, good company, beautiful holiday weather and a surprisingly comfortable bed in our campervan!!

I am grateful for a fabulous day two of our holiday, even though it has left me absolutely exhausted.  I should have worked on my fitness before we came away ... too much time on the couch at home!

Nite all
