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!!

Jurassic Park

While I was playing with little Chicklet outside today, she collected some stones and rocks from the garden and brought them to the garden seat where I was sitting.

She lay them down carefully between the toy dinosaurs, placed one of the dinosaurs on top of a rock and said quite matter-of-factly, "These rocks are from the Jurassic Period".

She is 3 in February next year.

It's not the first time she has blown me away with something that she's said.  Even her Mama is surprised by some of her announcements!

I'll take some photos tomorrow to show you how much she has grown.  It's been at least a couple of months since I posted a photo ... I just get so involved in our time together, I don't even think of the camera!

Anyway, here is a photo from the farm yesterday ...


There are more to come, but not tonight.

I have one last day with Chicklet tomorrow, then I'm off home for a few weeks, so I need to sleep and be bright eyed and bushy tailed for her tomorrow.

Nite all.
