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 346 in a Year of my Life

We had a big shopping day in The Bay today and then picked up our FROG (Fraser Region Organic Goodness) box from the farm where they packed them.

We got lots of organic goodness in the box and only one item was not available.

As soon as we got home and unpacked all of our goodies, I made my first batch of Kale Chips in the oven.  YUM!  Better than crisps!

Apparently they are better in the dehydrator, so I'll try that tomorrow.  I'll also put some in my morning smoothie.  Interesting stuff, is Kale.

Our fridge, freezer and pantry is so full of nutritional goodness at the moment, I can't figure out what to eat first!

Today was the first time in months that I didn't take my camera with me, and on the way home, there was a field of cane being harvested.

The tractor and harvester had stirred up quite a bit of dust in the afternoon light and pieces of cane were flying through the air.  It just created the most amazing picture and I'd have loved to get a shot, but alas, all I could do was imprint the picture to memory and wipe it as a missed opportunity.

*sigh*

I posted another photo to the October challenge for the 104 group today.  Number 7 Clouds ...


And that's about it for today.  I'm feeling pretty tired tonight .. but it IS 11.30pm, so I guess I should be feeling a little weary.

Today, I'm grateful not to be living in Sydney where the wind gusts tonight have reached 80kph!  I'm feeling nervous for my youngest daughter, Bubbles, who is having to endure those winds as I type these words.

Nite all.
