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!!

So It Begins

Well, I met Adoring Husband's 'past' today and it was a very pleasant experience. Trotz and The Boot Scooter were lovely and down to earth and funny and warm and I thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon and evening with them.

In the middle of that visit, we parted ways for a while so that AH and I could drive into The Bay to pick up Vegan Chickie and Chicklet from the airport. They had a very long and very bumpy flight, but arrived safe n sound.

That beautiful bright smile when Chicklet saw me, was priceless, and I'm feeling the love! There's also nothing nicer than a long warm bear hug from Vegan Chickie.

There was quite a bit of water over the road in parts, but luckily it was all safely passable.

BGWLBH had prepared most of the dinner salads by the time we returned home so there was very little preparation required for dinner. AH cooked on the barby and our visitors returned to enjoy an easy casual dinner and we all sat around the dinner table for a few hours sharing stories from our past and present, as well as a few beverages.

After they left, VC, BGWLBH and I sat around chatting some more until we were too exhausted to stay up any longer.

The Motivator and I had a busy morning in the shop and I sold 2 more photos! Amazing!

Anyway, it's almost 1am. I need sleep!

Nite all.
