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!!

One Down

I am exhausted!

I had a fantastic day of sales and the wet weather held off right until closing time so people were out and about and looking for some retail therapy.

Two of my art girls came in early and helped me set up for the art class. It was a big job and took well over an hour for 3 of us to prepare the room. Adoring Husband had set up the tables and we had already covered them in the protective sheets.

It was a great crowd of girls but three had already left when I took this photo.

We had a blast and we finished early so after the clean up, we all sat around drinking wine and laughing our heads off. It was a special afternoon, but jeez it wore me right out!

I’ve spent the remainder of the afternoon watching football but as soon as I finish this post, I’m off to bed.

Peking duck for dinner.

I have to be awake bright and early tomorrow to prepare for my 11am Lorraine Lea party. I hope I’m not speaking too soon, but it looks like the weather might be kind for the duration of the party.

I have a couple of big platters to prepare as well as some cocktails to mix up and I’m expecting about 10 or 12 girls so it should noisy and fun!

Wish me luck!

Nite all.
