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!!

Party Time

Today was pretty full on.

 Created a terrible piece of art ...


... I actually attempted to rescue it by trying a couple tricks, but they didn’t work so I scraped the paint off the canvas and into the bin.

I did a couple of loads of washing.

Adoring Husband and I went swimming this afternoon. The water was actually warm so AH was in his element.

I made a big fruit platter for the party tonight.

The evening was pretty special with a great group of friends gathered together, all providing food for the table and celebrating a couple of birthdays. There were about 25 of us filling a small space.



It was especially nice to catch up with old friends who are visiting from the Sunny Coast. Rebel Mardi with her sparkling smile and The Lifesaver with his ever so humble demeanour!

We were the first to leave after about 2.5 hours. I had pedalled the trike there, about 5 houses away, because we had to carry 2 folding chairs, an esky with our drinks and the big fruit platter. Most of that fitted into the trike basket.

I changed straight into my pyjamas, folded all the washing and then parked myself on the lounge while AH made himself some dessert.

I think I’m ready for some sleep now.

Nite all.
