How to Spend Mother's Day.......


Well, You start with a bacon and egg fry-up on the BBQ along with coffee and Tia Maria (Baileys or Kahlua can substitute here quite easily).I would have gone for champers and oj, but being the only champers drinker here it would have been the whole bottle and I chose to see the rest of the day. Follow up with a morning of doing nothing. It may take a few of you a while to figure out how to just do nothing. At some point in the afternoon I truly recommend a bubble bath/spa if available.

I could not find my Mozart cd so had to content myself with Strauss... although he did live up to the moment today. I am now so relaxed I can't feel my legs. Which takes us all back to how we became mother's in the first place.... But seriously, Happy Mother's Day to Mom(the grand poobah of Mother's), Michelle, Barb, Jen, and a warm welcome to the club to Sheri, and ....happy 1st Mother's Day to you. On this side of the globe , Happy Day to Pauline, Cathy, Julie, Kylie and a first to Emmy.... I am sure we are all doing our part in ensuring that the future generation of
world leaders will surely do a great job. Who else remebers this (more acurately than me most likely).
M- is for the Many things you gave me
O- is for Open hearted kindness
T- is for the Tender way you care
H- is for how Happy you have made us
E- is for Eternal memories
R- is for something Rather special

Happt Mother's Day to All!!!

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...

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...

On the Banks of Plum Creek

Well, it was a successful fishing day. Sekaiya caught a 3 inch whiting, Tory had a good time, and I got in several hours of practise in the untangling of line, retying of hooks, and baiting of these same hooks. Upside being that it was enthusiastically enjoyed rather than the old "I'm bored, when can we go home?" so perhaps we can now do this on a more regular basis. School holidays finish with the weekend so back to the grindstone for another 9 weeks. I have a bit of work happening,hopefully I will get a bit more as well. We had our first "burning off" fire today with many more to come. Great winter sport: lighting a fire, throwing in a damper ,(we wrap ours securely in foil and cook it in ashes/coals) opening a beer and standing around, with the occassional shovel and/or raking activity taking place! There was no damper today, but hopefully with the next lot of fires. There are still a gazillion sticks to get into piles yet.
