Josh had a ball but wasn't too sure of Margaret singing a love song to him Bahaha ;)

Suit for his Formal...

Sunday, Tim tried in his formal suit. His cousin is lending him his, which I'm so thankful for...

His partner's mum had found the perfect tie too :) Can't wait to see him in it properly :) His partner and her mum also love the suit! Yay!!!

Blessings,

Baby Joey...

Yesterday, when dropping home one of our local ladies after Biblestudy at my house, I came across a wallaby that had been killed but not pulled off the road. Happened that morning I would guess, by fly and ant activity on the mum.

As I pulled the wallaby off the road the body turned around and I noticed that there was a Joey in the pouch. I gently teased him off the teat and wrapped him up. He was squirming allot and making smacking noises. Poor darling was hungry. He looked so fragile as he had no fur but boy, he had movement in him!

I washed the tiny maggots on him off and then gave him to a friend and she attempted to drop him off at our local wildlife carer but he wasn't going to be home till the next night. I collected him back from my friend and a carer came out from Warwick! She came straight away. She's had them survive even weighing 60g!!! This boy filled my open hand. She put him into a pouch, tucked him into her shirt while thanking me twice for checking the pouch... Many babies get missed apparently.

I'm so glad he went somewhere that had the right animal formula and the know how... Can't wait to get updates on how he's going...

Update:  Saturday, 30.8.14

Have just found out that the little one died this morning... He fought and fought but a stroke took him in the end. Am so thankful to Lyn for taking care of him while he was here... 

Blessings,

Kai's visiting...

Margaret is away for the week so Kai has come on holidays at our house... He's having fun. We are loving having him. Jasper is amused by Kai's talking...

Blessings,

Termites???

One of our last logs that Russell split on the weekend... This is what we found in the middle of it... Luckily the termites have moved on. Such intricate construction... I wonder where they have moved to though...

Blessings,

Hog's Breath Cafe...

Went out to lunch to celebrate Margaret's boy's semi final game at Hog's Breath...

Was a beautiful meal... Special memories...

Blessings,

Go Goodna!!!

Was visiting my dear friend Margaret last weekend and had the honour of attending her boy's semi final rugby league game...

They won and play the finals in two weeks :) Onya Dylan!!!

Blessings,

Who me? Nah, I wasn't hiding...

Jasper was rather comfy this morning :) Cheeky young man...

Blessings,

Nope, I'm not here Mum...

Ok, you found me...

But I was sleeping you know...

Yep, butter wouldn't melt in this mouth ;)

Honeycomb...

Josh wanted more food... Happens regularly with a 15yrs old teen... So he decided to get the Failsafe Cookbook out and made some honeycomb...

Some bits needed adjusting for future tries but in general, well done Josh!

Blessings,

Happy Birthday...

Here are three that have their Birthday on Tuesday... Two have had theirs earlier this month... Happy Birthday everyone...

Blessings,

My sisters and I...

Love those two ladies...

Was so great to see them :) Tried photos with and without glasses...

Blessings,

Birthday Get Together...

Had most of the family there yesterday... Wasn't the same without my two brothers... Boy, the kids are growing so fast... Great company, great time, great food ;)

Blessings,

Treat time...

Had a little suprise in amongst my lemons from my mum yesterday... Haven't had these for a long time... Oh, they were soooo yummy! Thanks mum :) Reminds me of Austria...

Blessings,

New compost bin...

Mum gave me this bin yesterday... Notice... Already nearly full from making lemon butter :)

Blessings,

Lemon butter...

Two kilos of lemons turned into 1.5 litres of juice... Thanks to my mum, I took them home and this morning turned some of the juice into lemon butter :)

Yummy...

Blessings, 

Found it!

Was wondering if my girls were still laying in their escapee nest :) Yep, they are... Checking every day for now...

Blessings,

More Coconut Bread please Mum...

That was the order Monday night... Josh says he can't possibly run out ;)

Hope six cakes will do a while :)

Blessings,

Well, well, well...

And here I've been wondering why we've only been getting some eggs...

Josh found a new nest today near the shed. Down the other end to usual... Cheeky ladies...

Blessings,

Renewed and reused...

The tabletop off this table fell apart a while ago. We had bought it as a dinning table and chairs combo many years ago. Then it was used as a table outside for the solar cooker...

The top was made out of chipboard so broke down quickly in the harsh Australian weather. The metal frame was just lying about idly...

It needed a new top and today was the day it got just that. I was sick of Jasper knocking over my solar water heater. The number of coffees I've missed out on...

Now the first coat must cure for 18hrs, then another coat and it'll be right to be used... Solar cooker and water heater, here I come :)

I reckon Russell and Josh have done an awesome job...

Blessings,

Cuddles...

That's one thing that Jasper loves... And so does Josh... Cutties!!!

Blessings,

It's here... Formal Invite...

Tim brought his invite home on Thursday... Oh, how proud we are of him. Have already booked our table so we can see him and his date Caitlyn come in, walk through the restaurant and through to their Ballroom... Was the first to book ;) Can't wait!!! Now for the smaller details... Hiring his suit, the haircut, organizing the corsage, learning to dance, transport (Caitlyn wants to arrive in a truck-yeah one that transports live animals).

Loving it all :)

Blessings,

Dinner...

Am making two meals tonight... Russell doesn't do seafood... More for me hehe.

Shepherd's Pie for Russell and Tim. Josh and I are having Salmon. Josh mentioned the other night that he really wanted to try fresh Salmon. We've had it smoked many a time but never fresh.

Aldi is the place for me to go for Tasmanian Salmon, if I can't get straight from the trawlers ;) Great portions and great price!

Love the two pieces I got and think I've done not too bad with them :) Chips... Yummy.

Mum is a wealth of knowledge, receipes and otherwise... Loved and appreciated her advice on how to prepare and cook it, as there were way too many different ways of doing it.

Used one of Josh's lemonades too :)

Made a heap of Shepherd's Pie... Will be plenty if leftovers. Love leftovers...

Blessings,

My bangle online :)

Had this bangle made at the end of last year. Didn't realise it was still online :) Lovely to see it there... Tanya does such a great job... Loving her new range she's bringing in :) 

Blessings,

Silly billy...

Tim had his very last Sports Day at High Scool last Friday... 1.8.14 marked that day! At one stage a bunch of them were bored, so someone started a pile up and another took some photos... Thanks to fb, I was able to get copies of the photos... On ya, Tim... Loving the wig!!!

Blessings,
