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!!

Hourly Rate

If I was getting paid an hourly rate, I would have made a pretty penny today!

I have invested eleven hours of my valuable time into the website today, and I'm a bit annoyed that I have to go to bed now!

I'm enjoying this process so much and what a learning curve! This is my eighth day. I still can't see the finish line and I'm wondering how long it takes a professional to complete a job like this? I'm guessing it's probably only a couple of hours!

Adoring Husband brought me my coffee in bed this morning, so it meant that I could get started early at my desk. He spent most of the day outside in the garden.

We no longer have a peach tree. Except for the very first season, when it produced beautiful sweet juicy fruit, each year since, the fruit has been full of fruit fly larva. Since we don't spray, the only other option was to chop it down! We'll replace it with another fruit bearing plant, but we're not sure what yet.

It's well after midnight, so I'm off to bed.

Nite all.
