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!!

Welcome to the World

What luck!

Today, I went to check the second nest and saw some movement! This is what I found ..


So there are at least two chicks there, possibly three, but only time will tell. It's very exciting! For me anyway.

I attempted to give one of the psychotic dogs a hair cut this morning but she was cranky and horrible, so the job didn't get finished.

My second text book arrived today, so now I can officially begin studying! The book looks incredibly intimidating, to say the least, but I'm pretty excited about what's next to learn.

Today, I've started a health journal for myself, and am in the process of setting one up for Adoring Husband, so that he can document the 'possible' healing journey that we are about to embark upon.

Finally, this afternoon, I rode down to the river because the soft cloud was looking promising for a pretty sunset. Unfortunately, as often happens to our sunsets, a bank of cloud appeared from the West and snuffed the sun, so I rode home the long way, just so that I could enjoy the lovely evening light.

Adoring Husband had SES training tonight, so it's been very quiet here on the home front.

I'm trying for an early night, so ...

Nite all.
