cake at cindy's

it is always good to have friends that can cook, i have an unlimited supply of cook books but, a friend who can cook is a great treasure, i have a few treasures, what a great night at cindy's eating dinner and sewing... well not much of that these days.. it is a great blessing to have girl friends...

i am

have been reading the wonderful 2 lime leaves 'I AM " and would just like to take a few minutes to think what i could write, lee and i were talking over lunch about all the most wonderful people who write down such amazing things on these blogs for others to read, so have printed off the recipe for it all and am going to take it on the plane with me in april... now that is the plan it is a while away but for now that will have to do as it is all the time i have.
today we found the most wonderful material shop, yes i again have bought material... for what time i have to sew, very little at the moment..i love the feel of it colour smell touch , fabric i mean one day i will have time to sew again.... oh rave on...
it is still raining, we are averaging an inch a day usually more...
off to bed to dream about fabric..

oh not the birds

yep the snake got the birds, soooo sad i am in deep sadness.... yep we live close to town but i guess there is alot of bush around our home. it is a happy snake though. oh dear.... can't say any more lost for gulp words...will post again another day..... when words return...... gulp

rain rain go away.come back next year .....

yep we have had alot and i mean alot of rain, our tanks are full the garden has been watered for the next year and it is still coming down, there is mold growning everywhere oh rain in the tropics..... but better we have some than none..
s has gone to thursday island, what an adventure it was so wonderful having her for that time not that i saw much of her, but enough to have girl things around the house,infact all over the house.. and after having 3 sons it was nice..
the deck is going up work in progress, it should be lovely when it is finished..
to sit and hear the birds. and the neighbours dog bark bark bark but back to the birds. looking forward to the party on the deck.
there is always an other job waiting. but i love living here..it is a good life

30th jan.... the year continues

vb has bought a boat, that is it he will never come home now.. t,i, forever i am sure that they didn't mention that this would happen in the only have sons manual for mothers..no i don't think so.. it sometimes is too hard...
oh well 10 weeks now and we are off... off to the colswolds and betric potters cottage... and italy and coffee in st marks square..not a bad way to drown my sorrows.. now i will have another glass of red and put my feet up before i have to deal with another day..

judy's has left

yes the farewell dinner for jude today, off to the north of w.a. to be a bush nurse, what excitement, some go some stay.. here's to judy

2008 has arrived

there is never a famine or a feast. last year we stayed at home this year we had several invites i feel blessed. we were privileged to go to janette and william with our dear friends marg and bruce. we were sort of pleased to see this year out together, one we will never forget so the chance to be together to do it was a bonus, there are no new years resolutions i rather think that just making the most of each day to be true to your self and your beliefs, is a better option.it has been a giant of a year.so many people to thank and be grateful that they have shared your life, or that you have been invited into there lives......but that is life and we had the most wonderful new years eve after going to jen and dougs off to golden beach to a wonderful seafood feast and to see the new year in drinking moet and being with wonderful folk....
vb an sam are off to thursday island tomorrow or vb is... sam soon. tris is coming back from goldcoast. yah.. j bought a new girl for us to meet............ the circle continues, life goes on
