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!!

Coff Coff

Here we are in Coffs Harbour, after travelling through so many roadworks!!

Didn't even recognise the place!

Surprisingly, we are staying in the same resort (Pacific Bay Resort) where Adoring Husband and I stayed, the last time we were in Coffs Harbour.

The Nikonian and I spent the afternoon walking around the resort, which has a 9 hole, par 3 golf course on offer, so the grounds are nicely manicured.

There are lots of places to get all kinds of shots, so we should do ok on the day.

We met up with the bride and groom for a drink this afternoon and they are a lovely couple.

I also met The Nikonian's oldest son, his wife and little grand daughter "Buggy", who is as cute as a button with the most amazing eyes.

So now I've met all of her kids (who are actually adults, not kids lol) and they really are the nicest, friendly and most down to earth family.

They all have some of their mother's charm, which is pretty special.  This is The Nikonian and her little Buggy, doing what they both love to do best .. read books.


Now I need to get some sleep.

Looking forward to another fun filled and exhausting day tomorrow.

Nite all.
