the holiday

yes we are back from the much planed holiday in europe with trev and mel. yes we have done europe just a quick over view of so many wonderful countries so many money changes so expensive.... paying to pee. paying for water and most of taken for granted luxuries we have here in australia....my senses have been stretched i have spent 6 weeks living out of a suitcase, 6 weeks with the 8th wonder not all bad.. but when we come home and we see our children and hear there voices how wonderful is that... that is what i live for what about you...

a picnic

seems odd these days going with friends to all the places we used to take our kids too. like today, picnic at charlie morlans park the water was actually flowing in the mary river there was more flat stones to curl along the river than we had seen for a while but no kids to do it. time moves on and now we the 2 lots of parents go and eat with out kaos don't have to share the ice blocks and have a great time talking about all the wonderful times that we have done this when all the kids were young and at home ....the years fly by..

hard to believe these kids grow up so fast and now are parents....... parents oh my goodness how wonderful i am off to see ezekiel.....can't wait to hold that little boy what a blessed gift... a new generation begins...
