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!!

Super Strength

I needed to use my super strength today because MORE clothes arrived in the mail and of course they needed steaming ... I’m OVER the steaming 😩

I was kind of grateful that I ran out of coat hangers AND the space to display because that meant I could stop steaming 🤪

The Brains Trust came for a visit, brought coffee and sat at my desk for a nice catch up.

My morning was very busy and again, the afternoon went very quiet, which is just the way I like it. 

This gave me time to take photos of the new clothes and post them on Instagram and Facebook, advertise the three vacant places in the art class, send emails to possible participants and figure out which paint pouring technique to use in the class.


It was nice to come home, put my feet up this afternoon and lose myself in a new Netflix series “Firefly Lane”.

Friday night chicken wings cooked by Adoring Husband, the perfect way to end the week.

Now I’m in bed watching “The Notebook” and it’s probably the fifteenth time I’ve seen it, but it never gets old and I fall for Ryan Gosling all over again every time I watch it. 

There are twenty minutes of the movie remaining so I shall sign off and have a good cry before I fall asleep.

Nite all.
