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 254 in a Year of my Life

Well after 3 hours sleep last night, a 2 hour train trip, a short bus ride to the Chicklet family home, much play time with Chicklet, a half hour visit with a very old friend, and a delicious dinner cooked by the Bare-chested Chef, I am now in bed (since 7pm) and ready for sleeeeeeeeeep.

It has been raining all day - a very grey day and I even felt cold today.  Since I didn't pack for cold weather, I might have to make a quick trip across to the shopping centre and get myself some track pants and a sloppy joe!

So, no photos today.  I've been too busy enjoying the company of my family and catching up.

My precious little Chicklet is as wonderful as ever and already working hard at wearing me out!

Let's hope the weather clears a bit tomorrow, so that we can get out and about.

Today, I am grateful for a stress free travel day, where all the plans fell into place beautifully to start off my little holiday in the best way possible.

Nite all.
