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!!

TBTBday

A couple of weeks late because when five people are involved, sometimes life gets in the way, but today we lunched for The Brains Trust’s birthday.

Minus our girl Aggie ☹️ and still missing Lady Lynn.

TBT is celebrating the final year of her 60s!

She selected Arkarra Gardens Cafe at Dundowran for lunch which is a lovely outdoor cafe nestled in partly landscaped, partly natural bush land on the edge of a large lagoon. There are Bali huts scattered throughout and the food and service is very good.





After lunch we strolled through the walking tracks taking in the lush bush land, listening to the bird life and making fun of each other.
















We were only out for a couple of hours but it was quality time and not nearly as exhausting as our usual shopping lunches!

The icing on the cake (we actually had no cake) was the beautiful heavy rain that was drenching the town as we drove home. A couple of hours later we got a second storm with heavy rain and hail. No damage but the residual PTSD was evident in Adoring Husband.

I cooked up some vegetables and homemade gravy to have with leftover roast chicken for dinner.

We watched The Voice.

We are in bed. 

It’s been a good day and I’m looking forward to some time in bed tomorrow.

Nite all.
