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!!

Road Trippin’

It wasn’t much of a road trip … just to Maryborough and on to The Bay.

We did a run through Lincraft, followed by a walk through the markets, ducked into King Kong and finally The Gallery art shop.

Shockingly, the water colour paper that BGWLBH usually buys for $40, has now increased to $63! So we need to find a new art shop or find the paper online at a better price.

On the way to The Bay, we stopped at the Australiana Craft Shop to purchase 3 jars of their DELICIOUS home made peanut butter.

In The Bay we got fuel, dog bones and bacon, lotto tickets and groceries then stopped on the way home for our usual fresh egg pick up.

It was quite a tiring day and we were famished by the time we got home so after a quick ten minute play with Harley I cooked a REALLY EARLY dinner of tacos and we sat down to eat at 4.30pm.

It’s 9pm and I’m ready for sleep.





Nite all.
