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!!

Failed Plans

Well, the Psychotic Dogs didn't get groomed and I didn't get up early this morning.

Another day of failed plans.

I did get a nice batch of bone broth.  The pot was so big, I got 10 containers of clear beef broth and 6 containers of beef and vegetable soup.  They almost filled two drawers of the new freezer!

Today, Adoring Husband and I watched "Man of Steel", which is the latest Superman movie.

I really liked the strong female characters ... his birth mother, played by Lara Lor-van, his earth mother, played by Diane Lane and Lois Lane, played by Amy Adams.  I felt like the females were the strongest characters in the movie.

I felt like Superman was the weakest character.

I know that the whole Superman 'thing' is far fetched, but the storyline in this particular movie was quite annoying and the destruction was way over the top.

I didn't like the movie.

I am currently watching a movie called "The Sessions" with Helen Hunt and John Hawkes about a man confined to an iron lung who is determined, at age 38, to lose his virginity.

The movie is inspired by a true story and it's described as poignant and optimistic, and as it's nearing the end, I've really enjoyed it and I recommend it, if you can find it.

Here is a quote that I would like you all to read and practice ...


... and here is a Forest Kingfisher that I photographed on the Sunshine Coast with The Nikonian last week.


... and I'm done for the day.

Nite all.
