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!!

Up & Up

In terms of my health, today was a much better day than the last three!

I got out of bed late, showered and dressed and played with Harley until it was time to go see The Gypsy.

I had to postpone our date on Saturday when I was still feeling under the weather, so today was it.

We sat on the upper deck of the house where she is pet sitting, overlooking the water through some beautiful tall trees where there were so many native birds singing and enjoying the seeds or nectar that were available.

The wind was making just the right sounds through the leaves but not blowing strong enough to be uncomfortable for us.

It was the perfect spot. Very private and very picturesque. I wish I’d taken a photo!

We chatted over our herbal teas for exactly 4 hours! It was difficult after that time to stop talking and to leave! We never run out of things to talk about.

Adoring Husband picked me up and I arrived home to watch the football which had already started.

My tipping was pretty poor this weekend, however, I’m still in the lead because nobody caught up to me. My sister even took this week as her joker round so she got double points for her tips. She is still 2 points behind me and I still have my joker round to use!

I made meatloaf for dinner with maple roasted pumpkin and charred haloumi. For dessert, I made apple strudel which I served with dairy free ice cream for BGWLBH and I, salted caramel ice cream for AH.

We even squeezed some trivia in after dinner and I was in bed by 8.30pm.

Now I’m watching more of Jet Lag from my bed.

That’s it from me.




Nite all.
