birthdays

Today my daughter Nicole turns 37, we travelled down to surprise her and spend time with her, but alas it was not meant to be,Barry had a hypo and we headed home after only 1 and 1/2 hrs, but she was so nice about it all, I felt cheated as I rarely get to spend time with them these days.
They are going to the pics to see Narnia, which is a lovely way to spend ones birthday.
Happy Birthday my sweet child.

2011

Well I thought his year was going to be my positive year, but sadly it started with my dear cousin losing his life at 11.58 approx New Years Day in a motor bike accident R.I.P.
We had a lovely Christmas here with family and friends and then a quiet but very enjoyable New Year with some special friends.
Then it rained and it rained and it rained, yes Warwick was flooded. Alot of people were affected but not us or mum. The water has travelled and built up and devastated areas of Queensland.
Our weather report has just said we are in for more heavy falls,this will break alot of people.
My little Bric a Brac Barn is now open 4 days a week, Barry and I are enjoying gathering the goodies from all over to put in the shop.
Oh yes thats right, I would like to introduce you all to my husband as from 9/1/2010 he is Barry, and I think he is pretty special , he makes me smile and laugh and looks after me pretty good. It is nice having someone loving me again.
We have had our share of dramas in 2010 but have survived. Our familys are all well and we love each one of them. My mum is still going strong 85yrs young, she looks after the shop and does a great job of it, I feel it has given her a new lease on life. Well thats all for now ,but will be staying in blogger land now.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KEN

NEVER FORGOTTEN, FOREVER LOVED

I have been reflecting over the past four years without you, my life has taken some very different roads and I guess will continue to do so.

Death is such a final event, one which continues to be hard to bear.

Today would have been your 58th birthday and if you were here we would have celebrated with the family. Your daughter is becoming a beautiful person in her own right,her children (your grandchildren) are unique little human beings who bring alot of happiness to us all.I know you are around us and witness their ups and downs.

I am now working ,this fills the void in my life,I am also trying to learn ballroom dancing,but over the years I seem to have acquire two left feet,but I shall win ,I may never be a competition dancer but will be able to hold my own on the dance floor.

The winter is slowly enveloping us, it is time for the fire in the evening and warm tasty home cooked meals in front of it.

I count my blessings every day that you were part of my life, we shared many good times and some not so good , but together we made it thru.

I feel so alone without you beside me,everyone else has someone to share their life story with.

Why did you have to leave? We still had so many dreams to fulfill.

All of you who have a partner cherish them, remember one day they may not be there.

Happy Birthday forever my guy.

Holidays,Family,Time For Reflection

Happy Easter

Another Easter break has nearly passed,it was just yesterday when I waas hiding the eggs in my next door neighbours yard for the very exciting egg hunt. This year we kept the egg hunt inside,due mainly to the presence of four little canines. My family have had a lovely visit and my grandchildren are growing fast.They are so full of the wonders of life,they keep their great grandparents entertained with their antics. I gave their parents the night off and sent them to the pictures, they saw Wild Hogs, which gave them a good laugh. Tomorrow I am spending the morning teaching my granddaughter how to gain confidence on her two wheeler (bike) I have told her she is now to old for training wheels. My grandson left his bike at home, he knows what Grandma is like, what he hasnt realised is that he will aslo be learning albeit on his sisters bike. I will post some pics of my success,I know they both can achieve it, they just dont know it yet.
I hope you have all celebrated this Easter break as happily as I am.
I hope blogger lets me post some pics, here goes.

Life is good.
The last few weeks have seen a baby born,friends turning eighty, poppy getting the all clear from his gastrologist and me passing another assignment.
Hearing from some old and dear friends,making acquaintenances.
A baby boy 7lb born to our neighbours daughter, mother and child both well after a minor hiccup with jaundice. Nanny over the moon.
A very dear friend from my childhood days turned eighty and is still very fit and active.
Poppy underwent an endoscopy and colonoscopy and has the all clear.
I have started walking the river track again ,I do the full circuit and poppy does a half circuit at his pace, we are both enjoying it and thats what it is all about.
I have passed another one of those assignments only 20 to go.
I took mum and dad off to a beautiful winery last Saturday, its was a charity event for our childrens hospital in Queensland,it was Priscilla in the vineyard theme, we had a lovely three course dinner and then we laughed and laughed at the main entertainer.The actor (who was the drag queen) was very talented and had the audience in the palm of his hand, then we were treated to a magician(very clever) after numerous raffles and auctions we were entertained by a 20 piece big band,mum and dad were tired by this time so it was in the car for the 3/4 hr trip home.
I have blogged some pics for you, the first is a tired mum and baby just born. the second the front page of the programme,
the third is mum and dad having dinner the fourth is the river we walk around.
I thank you all for visiting me and hope your life is fun and you are enjoying your life journey(we only get one chance so enjoy the present time)

Once A Week

Today is another Tuesday in this beautiful world.
I will do my best to place a post every Tuesday, it is a day when I have attended my course and am so full of information I need to unwind, I think posting is a brilliant way of doing this.
Last Thursday I drove down to the Goldcoast (160 klms )and picked up my friend who lost her husband 12mnths ago, I stayed the night and then fixed some sun blinds to her bathroom windows the next morning before heading back home to Warwick. We have a great time and laugh alot, she is finishing the frogs whilst I go to my course.I will take some pics and show you all the finished mural.
It is good therapy for her, being up here with us all.
Poppy got an excellent report from his oncologist, but I am noticing a decline in his health,it is not good, but he is still trying to get on top of it.
Mum has also been a bit off colour,I am not sure what her problem is, she is tired alot.I hope its only because she was given a big stack of books and she is an avid reader ( you cannot get her away from a good book)The gypsy is back on the road heading for Nth Qld, he texts me just to let me know he is ok.
I have decided to go on and am enjoying the things I am doing and where I am at in my life.
I am heading back to the Goldcoast this Thursday, to drop Pam off and then driving on to Lismore another few hrs away with my neighbour Di, we are babysitting her grandchildren for two days, then back home Sunday.
Who said life is dull, they should come visit for awhile.
I neglected to tell you we took Pam to a few of the wineries not far from here, she loved it,we also visited the local lavender farm.I forgot the camera, sorry.
Well my many friends I will endeavour to visit you over the next few days.
Keep smiling its contagious.
Bye for this week
Gail
