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!!

Like Yesterday

It doesn’t feel like we’ve been together for 23 years. 

I moved from Griffith to Sydney in April of 2005 to live with Adoring Husband, but that really feels like just a few years ago.

We were married in the Lions Park at Burrum Heads in 2010 and so we celebrated 16 yrs of marriage today.

We drove into the bay and out to the marina where we had reservations at Truly Asia for lunch. We both ordered steamed duck and mushrooms (because that was our number one choice at our favourite restaurant in Sydney) but it didn’t live up to the Sydney dish. The duck AND the mushrooms were tough. Still edible and the flavours were delicious, but I wouldn’t choose it again.

There were leftovers … my duck dish and plain fried rice plus AH’s special fried rice, so we ordered a takeaway Nahm Jim Chicken which was enough for us to have for dinner tonight.

After lunch, we walked across to the Boat Club, and when I swiped my card, because it was my birthday, I received a free drink, which I gave to AH so that he could sit and watch me play the pokies for 30 minutes. 

We ran a couple of errands before returning home, including buying Harley a new toy, which he loved!

BGWLBH worked today so I made her my famous turkey breast, avocado, cranberry jelly, goats cheese and sprouts on toasted sourdough for dinner. We had leftover trifle for dessert.

AH and I retired to our beds at 7pm! 

I am pretty darned tired and feel that I will sleep soundly tonight.

It has been a really nice day.





Nite all.
