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!!

Girl Power

It was a great day in the shop.

It all started with my girls filling the shop with the sound of their chatter and laughter - which I always love!

The last of them left quite late in the morning but that seemed to open the energy flow for lots of customers to walk through the door.

Those customers were all lovely and were in for a chat and a laugh.

I stayed open for an extra hour and the last customer left well after 4pm.

Adoring Husband was there to help me bring everything inside and close the shop - he is honestly a champion and I wonder what the hell I would do without him some days (most days).

On my way home, I pedalled along the river path and came face to face with a beautiful goanna, which, as if on cue, stood on it's hind legs and looked around like it was surveying it's kingdom! Of course, no camera to be found!

I think it's time for me to get into the habit of carrying my camera bag with me again and give my new camera a workout. I'm certain that Mother Nature is calling to me!

I am feeling decidedly tired this evening, so I'm off for an early night.

Have a happy hump day :)


Nite all.
