Homecoming
I am very blessed. I am blessed in many ways: loving family, wonderful children, brilliant husband, awesome inlaws. I am blessed with amazing friends too! We came home from Adelaide yesterday. The flight was good, but my ears were not so good, and Matty was complaining about his ears too. The drive home from Hobart […]
I confess…
Right I need to get something straight… Amanda told us about the hand-powered washing machines. And I was the first one out of Monte and me to suggest we get one. I was the one who suggested that Monte bid on it on ebay, and I was the one who told him to increase his […]

Mothers Day

A reunion of sorts
Yesterday Monte’s god mother and Gordon’s cousin, Janice, came to visit us with her daughter Gayle and two of their friends. They are holidaying in Tasmania and they are thoroughly enjoying it! It was lovely to see Janice again and I think she loved seeing how much the children had grown up since she last […]
