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 340 in a Year of my Life

Number two on the list for this month's challenge .. Old/Rustic/Broken


My options are fairly limited here in town, so this was the best that I could come up with.

I've been sitting here for an hour trying to think of something else to write, but I have been distracted by the end of one movie and the beginning of another, so I am signing off.

Today, I am grateful for slow cookers .. which tonight, provided a delicious meal of lamb shanks, potato, sweet potato, onion, tomato, carrot and mushrooms.  There's nothing nicer than coming home from a couple of hours at the club and having dinner already prepared and ready to serve!

Nite all.
