Look What I Found!!!

 
Does the yellow skirted perfume girl look familiar to anybody else? A bit concerned that I bought a momento from my youth at an antique shop (I hold to my hope that this doesn't trigger another bout of mid-life crisis). Had a good Australia day on the farm at Aunty Jo's house. The girls watched the vet remove a portion of a cows eye and stitch up the old girl. Their general response was cooollll!!! This bodes well for the aspirations they have of becoming a vet(Kaiya) and a zoo keeper(Tory). So any ideas why the Broncs didn't show up for that last game? Mind you I was only hearing the game but it didn't sound very good. Sigh... next year? Cool one today it's only in the 80's. School starts again on Tuesday (pupil free day for teachers on the Monday). I guess this means that I actually have to start mowing and cleaning again (sob) and we were having so much fun too. I hate when school starts back up, the holidays are always that final day to short.... Oh well, ANZAC day is coming up and then there is Easter and ... the rest. At least they enjoy school, and there is always the weekends. Thus ends another Williams' week. Posted by Picasa

Who'd a thunk you would find that and then buy it! Cool. SOrry about the end of summer break. We have 4 months to go until ours but this semester is broke up with Presidents day, spring break, MLK Jr. Day and inservices. We're already done with a month hard to believe. Glad the girls enjoy animal surgery, that will look good on scholarship apps. Have a good week. B

Kris, I don't remember that being any momento of mine.Maybe Lumps, but I don't think so. Hope the girls got to keep any of the removed cow parts.(makes for a great show & tell subject. Just be careful what you grab out of the fridge for a late night snack.) Hope you have have a better week than the broncos had.

Well, after a brilliant sunrise we headed off to try and track down the ever elusive whales yet one more time. Armed with new intelligence of time and location we arrived at the ruined lighthouse in the national park at 8am -(yes and on a Sunday too). The first "nature moment" of the day was this Kangaroo pretending we couldn't see her. Up to the top to the old Cape St Goerge lighthouse ruins. Apparently they built it in the wrong spot and it was more of a hazard than a help, so they blew it up with a bit of dynamite and erected a new lighthouse on Point Perpendicular, which you will be able to pick out in the sunrise photo, if not sue the school system for not teaching you what perpendicular means. Second "nature moment" was when we found a couple of feral children at the top. Here is the lighthouse. It is , by the way, haunted by the ghost of a young girl who tragically lost her life while living here. I'd tell you the story, but that would ruin the book f...

We pick up in the life of our hero where we last left him. The mother Gaforady dragon is poised to dive and tear the unconscious Logorian into food for her new hatchling (the last of this regal line). Can the young prince wake and save himself? He is the last hope for the kingdom of Coochlia, and all hope lies upon him to befriend the remaining dragons as much needed allies in the war against the Trougopians. Suddenly up over the edge of the nest rises the red head of.... OOPS sorry bout that wrong story. Right now where were we... ah yes July, and the winter school break.  All has been good here except the wind, and it has not been good. Indeed it has been the polar opposite of good. Fortunately we only lost power once for 3-4 hours, there are some now going on their fourth day in the dark.  Parts of our lovely Shoalhaven were actually declared a National Disaster Area (that makes 2 we have been in during the past month- see previous post). This is the "Sydney 43" th...

The Lucky Tent*

Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale, a tale of a fateful trip.... Our  adventure as part of the "Mooral Creek 9" Ok let's go camping at Mooral Creek for Fish's 50th  sounds good, may rain (always does when we camp) no big deal. Early departure from home Sat a.m. drop girls at Pete and Kylies place in Newcastle, take Pete with us and head for the countryside outside Wingham.  Tent erected and ready to go (other than being wet from the rain pouring in as we set up). and the day progressed (or perhaps digressed): the chair was just not made to hold 3 people! And the speech that set the wheels of fate turning.....                                            Sunday Morning View from the verandah at breakfast  Sunday saw the departure...
