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!!

He's Back!

Adoring Husband has returned from Brisbane with excellent results from his health check surgery.

He has the 'all clear' but has to return in 3 months for a further check up .. how else would the specialist make enough money to pay for his high rise office and his house on the water and his world trips? But don't get me started!

It's good to have him home knowing that he is healthy.

I was also happy to hear about his conversation with the barista who served him when he bought his first coffee since his health scare 3 months ago.

She asked if he wanted sugar and when he replied 'no thanks' she responded how nice it was to serve someone who didn't want that poison in his coffee! They then talked about different sugar alternatives and he told her about coconut sugar.

Was that really my husband having that conversation?

Crikey! He has come a long way!

I have to thank my little brother for being there in our moment of need. When the hospital wouldn't allow AH to leave the hospital unless he had someone to escort him, my LB and his friend drove an hour to the hospital to sign him out and then drove him to the train station. Otherwise AH would have had to stay an extra night in the hospital.

We also must thank Happy Harry for driving all the way to Howard to pick AH up from the train station late at night. It's a big ask at such a late hour and we appreciate your good soul. Karma will reward you by bringing good health and happiness in abundance. Thank you.

So we are happy and feeling the love. Harmony has returned and life as we know it is balanced again.

Nite all (those Tawny photos still to come .. tomorrow)
