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!!

Back to Play

It’s too much fun to be work, so I call it play.

It was a strange kind of day with LOTS of people through the door, but maybe half of them made a purchase.

Sales were good.

We were light on in numbers for coffee this morning with only four ladies including me. Two of these left early due to other appointments so The Brains Trust and I had an hour together between customers.

Adoring Husband took psychotic dog Colli into The Bay for a grooming session and while he was there he ran some errands for me which included purchasing some printer ink.

My main task for the day was changing the printer ink!

Task successfully achieved!

This afternoon was journaling class which went very well and time flew by.

I accepted the girls’ offer to help me set up the room for meditation so they folded up the tables and the tablecloths while I wheeled in the whiteboard and set out the chairs.

It took another ten minutes for me to turn everything off and pack everything up to go home.

The journey home took a while because I kept running into people I know, and they all wanted to chat.

One in particular was a neighbour who informed me that his wife left him a year ago! I had no idea! They struggled after the tornado when their property received major damage, but they were married for 50 years so this news was a bit of a shock to me.

I also ran into Woman of Many Talents and we chatted briefly before she joined her walking partner.

It was 5pm by the time I arrived home.

AH cooked some lamb rumps on the barbecue and we put salad and the meat on bread for an easy dinner.

Now I’m ready for bed because it’s an early start for meditation and I have to ride my trike for the next week. It might build up my fitness level.




Nite all.
