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 289 in a Year of my Life

A pretty quiet sort of day really ... although we DID get a new cockatiel!

I'll take a photo tomorrow.

We have no idea if it's a he or a she, but it is straight out of the nest and is white with a couple of dark grey patches and big black eyes.

So far, we have named it OB ... that may change later, but for now we have OB (stands for 'Our Bird') and SEB (stands for 'Someone Else's Bird').

They don't seem too interested in each other and both have been very quiet since they joined forces in the cage.

Tomorrow may tell a new story.

I worked on a couple of old sunset photos today ...



Today I am grateful for regular photos and little videos of Chicklet to keep me up-to-date with her development and to see her happy smiling face and hear her fabulous voice.  Thanks Vegan Chickie!

Nite all.
