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!!

Kitchen Fun

When people talk listen completely. Don’t be thinking what you’re going to say. Most people never listen. Nor do they observe. You should be able to go into a room and when you come out know everything that you saw there and not only that. If that room gave you any feeling you should know exactly what it was that gave you that feeling. ~Ernest Hemingway

I was going to say that I had a lazy day, but I was actually quite productive!

I cooked bacon and eggs for BGWLBH, played with Harley, gathered my ironing for BGWLBH to do, cooked mushroom & leek soup, cooked cauliflower, broccoli & leek soup, cooked zucchini slice, cooked apple pies from scratch, prepared a salad, boiled potatoes and made egg custard from scratch.

My apple pie …

It was great to have 3 games of footy to watch this afternoon too.

Adoring Husband drove into The Bay to buy a new iron, a filter for his coffee machine and some groceries. It was his first big drive since surgery and of course, all went well.

It’s well after midnight and I need to sleep!



Nite all.
