ADVENTURE THROUGH LIFE

When you are young, you can't wait for a birthday to come.
When you are middle aged, you don't want birthdays to come.
When you are old, you are happy to have made it to the next birthday.
I had a birthday last week and I had a peek over my past.


I was born during the war in England
a shy 4 year old
on board the ship migrating to Australia-a real adventure
a happy Aussie 8 year old
the terrible teens
adulthood here I am
Just Married! in Papua/New Guinea
a new mum
family time
Gosh! 50 years old
enjoying the senior years

    Hi Diane, had a chuckle at your comment. Would you believe that this is my attempt to live in the 'now' in my Down to Earth site. I only saw the show last week and bxxger it was still a trip down memory lane wasn't it?
