Loosing weight...

Yes I have lost allot of weight since the end of last year and have had a friend give me allot of clothes to tide me over on my way down... I am ever so grateful to Margaret (and her friend Kym) as it has saved me a fortune :)

One of these bags are full of clothes that I didn't want as wrong for my shape etc and the other bag is full of clothes that I could no longer fit into... Never going back to those sizes ever again... :)

I am shrinking and loving it :)

Anzac Ceremony...

Had a great community turnout :)

Joshua getting instructions of what to do when...

The beautifully restored stone...

Anzac Day is this coming Monday but with school being on holidays we had seven diggers come out a week ago and hold a ceremony for the locals here. The council had just completed cleaning up the area too. The headstone was beautiful. The path around it had new pebbles put around it and also new plants had been planted. All the old was gone. On top of that we have had two new metal benches put in as well as the old rotten wood benches taken out. It is such a beautiful place now... Thank you Southern Downs Regional Council for such a fantastic job...

The ceremony was lovely too... Joshua got to do the flag... He was very proud of that one. Seeing it was his last one with Maryvale State School...

Box World... by Warren Thomas :)

An overall picture...

CD's are in the windows...

Base of the graveyard is a keyboard :)

I realise I have been away for a while. I am so sorry for that. I have been really sick and not getting onto the computer at all. Today is the first time I have been on the computer since I last posted... I have been using Russell's iPad as he has the iPad2 now and been doing allot of computer work that way. Can't post from there though... Anyway I am back and must better. Throat is still sore and nose still running but better all the time :)

So Joshua and his school went to the Warwick Art Gallery last week of term and they saw 'Box World' which is made by a Tasmanian Artist Warren Thomas. The kids even got to meet him and he answered lots of their questions...

He is quite amazing really. It has taken him 12 years and the display that we saw was only 1/3 of what he actually has built. Takes two whole days just to set it all up. Everything you see in the pictures is recycled... From cans, bottles, CD's, straws, boxes, milk cartons... you name it :) Only thing that isn't recycled are the cars... Amazing stuff. :)

We have seen it three times now and keep taking other friends to see it as well. We just love it... And what's even better is that it is free to see as well. :)

Sisters...

Lovely cakes made by my lovely Mum...

Sitting in my kitchen :)

Me, Tina and Lis... The three sisters. :)

I love my sisters. I have said that many a times but I really mean it... This last weekend I had the pleasure of spending it with them again. We also got a lovely visit from my mum. She brought two lovely cakes. Yummm. Time was spent just hanging.

I also went to a couple of markets as well. I love markets and like to go to them whenever the opportunity arises. Got some great bargains. :) Especially love the three tiered pot plant arrangement from an old guy that I got at Fernvale Markets. He was so lovely. :) Another favourite is that I finally have lemon grass again... Miss that from my last house. Also the two bird feeders I got were cheap and are really well made. One will go to the Hall for our coming up Cent Auction, the other is going out to the cubby. Josh loves it :)

All in all it was a lovely weekend and am glad that first weekend in June I am doing it all over again. :) Can't wait. :)

Big Fellas...

These couple of green tree frogs reside at my baby sisters' place... They come out each night from behind one of the down pipes and sit a while. Then they hop off to do some feeding and come back again. They are so lovely to watch...

Love my pedicures...

Love it :)

Last Friday I had the opportunity to kill some time while waiting for my big weekend with my lovely two sisters. So I took the opportunity to have a pedicure... Love having someone else doing all the work. lol
