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!!

How Many?

Oh my goodness!

60 years?

My favourite Mother-in-love aka 'grannymus', and who is a regular reader of this blog, is celebrating her 60th wedding anniversary!!! That's her and her lucky husband, Grandpa Jim,  in the middle of their four lovely children.  (photo provided by my youngest daughter 'Bubbles')


Children, grandchildren and great grandchildren all gathered together to celebrate the occasion.

What a life. What a family. What a lot of love.

Congratulations to you Grannymus and Grandpa Jim. That's some milestone! I hope you enjoy every minute of having most of the family all together again.

Love and hugs to you both.

Nite all.
