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!!

Hippified

I dressed quite hippy-ish today and felt very comfortable in doing so!

Between hers and my customers, I had some nice chats with The Gypsy, but there were a lot of people in the shop and they all spent small amounts of money as well as being in for a chat.

We have visitors from Yamba, Coffs Harbour, Mt Gambier, Brisbane and Gympie at the moment.

The Gypsy presented me with my newly made hula hoop!



I had a little practice and successfully showed AH one of my tricks. 

While I wanted to create some art this afternoon, all my drying space is taken with varnished paintings drying! So I had to show some self control and watch more YouTube videos of art instead. I’m building a long bucket list of methods that I want to try.

I cooked a mash of potato, sweet potato and cauliflower with chopped shallots added. Cabbage and leeks cooked in butter and all of last night’s leftover veggies added to that. Adoring Husband had leftover chicken and gravy with his veggies.

It was all quite tasty.

Now I’m ready for bed.

Nite all.
