Age Challenged rQQzy: Another Birthday

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!!

Another Birthday

BGWLBH turns 62 on 6th May.

Unfortunately, it’s Labour Day in Queensland, which means everything is shut! There are some cafes and restaurants open but we want more than just an eating experience for her birthday.

This means we have to do something special at home.

I have some ideas for food, some trivia, some art and of course, some gifts.

Today has been a lazy Sunday of movies, Harley play and football.

I did roast chicken with baked vegetables for dinner

That’s all for today.
