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!!

Hi Honey! I'm Home!

It's good to be home and I am looking forward to sleeping in my own bed tonight.

Unfortunately I had a nap this afternoon, so it's almost 1am and I think I'm almost ready for bed now.

A good time was had by all on our lady's trip away.

Of course, what happens on the Sunny Coast, STAYS on the Sunny Coast!

You can know that we shopped til we dropped, drank til we were done, ate til we were full, bopped to the music, had a little flutter and laughed til we almost peed our pants.

We were especially excited last night, while eating dinner at the Surf Club, to learn that one of our husbands back home, had a MASSIVE win on the Keno!

We had a great time away, but we were all looking forward to coming home again.

It was a rainy drive home and the day has been very grey, but as the sun was setting, some cloud cleared and produced a lovely sunset ...


Adoring Husband has spent the day hanging Christmas decorations and setting up the Christmas tree, so it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas in our house.

Tomorrow, I hope to share some holiday snaps.

Right now, I need to go to bed.

Nite all.
