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!!

Crappy Christmas

2012 will be forever known as our 'crappy christmas'.

I don't mean that in a bad way because it has been a very pleasant day.

No tree, no decorations, no lights, no gifts for each other or anyone else, no family or friends.

Just Adoring Husband and I watching dvds all day, napping and enjoying this lunch ...


... and just to add a touch of extra crappiness, we got a phone call from the nursing home where Adoring Husband's Mum resides, to advise that she has had a fall this evening and has been taken to hospital.

Now we wait for the phone call after the tests.  Let's all hope that the outcome is the same as last time and she returns happy and healthy to the nursing home tomorrow.

I hope that you all lay your head on the pillow at the end of today with a smile on your dial and feeling the love.

Peace Love and Joy to all.

Nite all.
