Hanging with my friends

Feeding the Kangaroos, one of the highlights of the trip. We got a friendly Japanes tourist to take the shot so that we had at least one photo of the both of us together.
Great memories to last a lifetime.

Back home

Today Leanne and I returned home safe and sound. The final tally of Kilometers travelled was 3722 klms (2312 miles)
The weather in Queensland was warm and sunny for the most part. We had one day of rain but it was still not very cold. Not for us Victorians anyway.
We mainly stayed at home with Leannes sister in law, Narelle, but we did spend the Saturday at Australia Zoo. Crikey what a great place! We fed the Kangaroos and patted a Koala and even fed the elephants.
We had an absolute ball laughed so much we ended up with sore tummys.
Narelles place was so beautiful and we were spoilt having our dinner cooked for us everyday.
So now we are home and the weather here has turned cold and wet once again.
so I will put another log on the fire and curl up on the couch as I am very sleepy having been on the road from 5.30 this morning till 1.30 this afternood when I pulled in at home.

On the road again

Tomorrow bright and early Leanne and I are heading off on a road trip. We will be driving all the way to Brisbane to see her sister in law. I cant wait. She still has two chemo treatments to go but we both need this time away. So its just the girls and today we have been busy packing the car and buying food for the trip. To see how much food we have packed you would think we were going to be on the road for a week, but it is two full days to get there and we dont want to go hungry do we!!!!
We have some healthy food and lots and lots of lollies.
so once again I am leaving the home to the kids, and this time to hubby and I am going away from responcibility.
Good isnt it.
see you all when I get back, sometime next week
bye

The big wet

This winter has been the wettest I can remember for a long time. Our little dam is nearly overflowing and the paddocks next door are under water. All our water from the house flow into drains out the back and water the fruit trees and these are full. This hasnt happend for nearly 10 years. When we first moved here back 22 years ago, this was a regular event. Our paddock used to look like a lake. It was so bad we had to add fill.
It really is great to see all that water and know that the ground is so wet that the fruit trees will have lots to draw on this summer.
I only hope that the dam doesnt overflow! It has never been so full since we built it.
I hope you get all the rain you need, and if you dont need any then it stops raining for you.

My newest project

this is the first block in the new quilt Im making called "Back on the Farm"by Mckenna Ryan.
I absolutly loved it and had to get the pattern!
All I have to do now is machine stitch around all the pieces. I hope I will do it justice, I have never machine stitched applique before.
Its all a learning curve.
