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 241 in a Year of my Life

You've just got to check this out.  Mother Nature at her finest.

How I would love to trek through the New Guinea jungles to capture some fabulous photos of those little gems!

YAY FOR QUEENSLAND!!  We won the second State of Origin game tonight!!  One game each, which means the decider will be a ripper on 17th July!!

The bad news is that Lleyton Hewitt lost his second round tennis match at Wimbledon tonight.  Very disappointing for me ... even more so for him (as I glance over my laptop screen and see his press conference on the tv).

Today, I made a delicious Cauliflower, potato and leek soup with crunchy dry roasted walnuts sprinkled on top.


Adoring Husband doesn't like it ... which is great!  All the more for me!!

I've been feeling a little run down as if my body is trying to fight off a cold/flu/virus, so I want to make lots of different soups full of vitamins and minerals and goodness to help strengthen my immune system and fight off the germs.

I already have chicken and roast vegetable soup in the freezer.  I might make a tomato, basil and roasted red capsicum soup next.

So I think I might head off to bed and see if I can wake up early enough to accompany Adoring Husband into The Bay tomorrow.  The car is booked in for some further repairs which will take a bit of time.

We may even go to the movies.

Today, I am grateful for discovering the very few delicious foods that Adoring Husband won't eat ... all the more for me!!

Nite all.
