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 120 in a Year of my Life

I have arrived home safe n sound after a great weekend away.

I actually forgot what it was like to be worried about the weather.

I was brought back to reality quickly, when severe weather warnings were issued for our area and 'Woman of Many Talents' and I drove through some dodgy weather on the way home this afternoon ... though it could have been worse, but I think our timing worked out so that we followed our route between storms and dodged the worst of it.

I am absolutely exhausted, so once again, I am taking a rain check and will endeavour to bring everything up-to-date tomorrow, after I am rested and have time to sit and ponder my weekend entertainment.

One photo from the weekend ...

The front window of the restaurant where we ate last night.
I still have a lot of photos to go through.  A few hundred in fact.

Today I am grateful to be home  (I wish that all was right and calm in my world again, but Mother Nature doesn't appear to be finished yet.  I hope she's just teasing us to keep us on our toes.)  I'm grateful for our safe trip home, while being surrounded by crazy drivers and some crazy weather.

Thank you 'Woman of Many Talents'

Nite all.
