About Me

My photo
Love being mother of four, grandmother of nine, wife of one!! Aunt Sister Daughter Friend Cousin all the good things.... I love living in Queensland as have done for the past 20 years. I love being at home rearranging the furniture and doona covers, out side working in the garden , taking photos of my family or the beautiful things you can find that nature has provided for us. I guess you could say I'm one of the lucky ones.

well anniversary day has been and gone. Taken to McDonalds for brecky ( dont laugh this is my fav brecky) and then to the coast shopping....what more could a girl want .
Also received a beautiful pearl necklace, I actually chose it in Thailand, it's a single pearl set below a tiny diamond.. just perfect. I was searching for a feature to go above the front door and after a loooong debate with partner decided on a beautiful wire gecko . His choice but I must admit it looks great. I wanted a butterfly made of the same wire which would have looked good too , but must let them win a few decisions hey. We went to my fav Thai restaurant for dinner then home for a cupper in bed. Lovely day all round.
Went looking yesterday also for winter clothing to keep warm in NZ. Going in May so will be very chilli. Went to anaconda store, they sell everything for outdoor adventure, very impressive shop. Got a back pack and tried on a few jackets but a bit hard to be objective when its 30degrees outside. Will keep looking around, still have a bit of time.
Rainy today so just pottering around, I bought a new dooner cover yesterday,,, yep I know what you're thinking but a girl really does need her doona covers, its a lovely pale blue and gathered at the seams to give a lovely soft look. Will wait till can wash it when the weather fines up and then I can put it on the bed.
well thats my day so I'd better get moving and get dinner organised
catch up next time

well I've just joined the thousands of people enjoying the use of an Ipod....yep I needed a few lessons on how to use the little, and I do mean very little, sucker but I think I now have at least a basic knowledge of it. Its sssoooo tiny and does sssooo many things , the mind boggles at the technology these days. Never in a million years would I have dreamed that these things would exist in my life time. Cant imagine what will happen in the next 10 years, scary.

Its our 30th wedding anniversary tomorrow so I've left instructions in my other halfs hands to organise the day.....will be interesting bless his little soul... at least he remembered, a note in the diary helped.

let you know if anything exciting happens.

off to get the clothes in as it looks like rain.. then over to friends for drinks and dinner

cheers TP

New Year

Well its a new year and already a busy time. Went kayaking for the first time on a beautiful creek with a wonderful friend looking at the birds and plants, all was very peaceful till we were on the way back and a snake decided to grace us with its presence. You have never seen 2 first time paddlers find turbo power with a paddle. Snake disappeared under water ( probably more shaken up that I ) and we moved on. A little excitement goes a long way....... will try and post this and see if it works
till next time
