Age Challenged rQQzy: Somebody’s Birthday

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!!

Somebody’s Birthday

Somebody is having a big birthday bash in town this weekend and a lot of the guests turned up today.

They visited the shop and vowed to spread the word about our shop to the other guests as they arrive on Saturday morning.

Let’s hope our Saturday morning reaps the benefits of the party goers.

On the other end, some March holiday makers popped in to say goodbye as their holiday has come to an end and one of the ladies purchased my Cheelii Lagoon photo before she left!

Some of my day was spent taking phone calls from people withdrawing from the art class. I’m glad they did because they are displaying signs of an illness that may or may not be THE virus that we are all concerned about.

So it will be a small class and it will probably be the last one for a while as we wait and see how this pandemic takes control of our lifestyles.

I had a nice chat with Vegan Chickie in the morning too. She turns the big 40 on Monday!

Thought I’d share these with you ...
