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 339 in a Year of my Life

The first thing on the challenge list was 1. Peace/Piece.


That's the first one out of the way.

SEB (the cockatiel) has laid an egg in the nesting box.

She spent about 6 hours in the nesting box yesterday, probably longer, but today, she came out and left the egg unattended.  She hasn't been back in the box and nor has OB (the other cockatiel).

I might have the egg for breakfast tomorrow morning.  Come on!  I'm kidding!  Just testing to see that you're paying attention!

Today, I caught some crows in our veggie garden.  They've been picking at our tomatoes!

Tonight, for dinner, I used quite a bit of produce from our garden ... asparagus, tomatoes, parsley, mint, celery leaf and chillies.

I cooked tuna steaks, and served them on a bed of chilli salsa.  I made the salsa with tomato, red capsicum, cucumber, onion, asparagus, avocado, crumbled feta cheese, chilli, mint, celery leaf, basil and parsley.  For the dressing, I used lemon juice, coconut oil, balsamic vinegar and raw honey.

Adoring Husband had the leftover salsa after he finished dinner.  I know that's a good sign.

Today, I'm grateful that another storm passed without incident.  It looked spectacular!

Nite all.
