Age Challenged rQQzy: Fool’s Day

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!!

Fool’s Day

Today is the 1st April. How quickly time passes!

It’s raining as I type this and I can hear it on the tin roof.

There is a Clint Eastwood western on TV which I’ve muted so that I can listen to the rain. It’s called “Hang ‘em High” and the ominous music is very annoying.

Today I cooked bacon and eggs, french toast, caramelised banana, 12 mini quiches, chicken breasts stuffed with bacon, spinach, ricotta and feta and sun dried tomatoes, sweet potato chips and a garden salad.

I did some more art, adding to the dragon fly …
