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!!

Awww Moments

I thoroughly enjoyed my morning tea with the girls this morning and then hit the books for a pretty productive day of study. Partially completed one of my assignments, so I've momentarily taken the edge of the feeling of panic that has been rising within for the last week or so.

This evening while I've been waiting for the tennis to start, I edited another photo from the Bunya Mountains weekend.

Superb Fairy Wren ...


... and I decided to share some cute and fuzzy pictures from my facebook visit this afternoon.

Two day old hippopotamus and then the rest speak for themselves.







Now, I think I have about an hour, before a tennis match that I don't want to watch, will be finished, so that the one that I DO want to watch begins, and I might squeeze in some more productive study while I wait.

Nite all.
