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 335 in a Year of my Life

I went to bed at 'stupid' o'clock this morning and I set my alarm for another 'stupid' o'clock so that I could get the sunrise ...


Not very spectacular, but it was a beautiful morning and worth being up to watch the sun rise.

I spent a good part of the day trying to get a decent photo for the final Photo5 brief.  Still not 100% happy with the final outcome, but I'm OVER it, so I submitted this one tonight, for the 'Shadows or Stencil' brief ...


That's about it for my day.  Very quiet.  Very relaxing.  Very enjoyable.

Today, I'm grateful that the black, thunderous storms skirted their way past us this evening and all we got out of it was some rolling thunder for a little while.

Nite all.
