Happy Days

November 14th, 2009 · 2 Comments

My son came home for the weekend last night. He just gave me a hug and said “I love waking up here”. I can’t express how good that feels to me. I miss him so much that I can’t think about it anymore when he is away. When he is here it is a joy. […]

Beach is Back

November 1st, 2009 · No Comments

I dipped in the sea yesterday. We went to Inverloch with the kids. The water was cold, but I couldn’t resist. The carpark at the surf beach was full so we went to the beach near the town. The girls swam with me. Dad and son dug a big hole and buried himself.
Then we headed for […]

Touch Footy

October 23rd, 2009 · No Comments

I’d love to say I played touch footy last night, but truthfully I had a little dazed run around the grass, for very short periods. Darin and I have joined the ’social’ touch footy competition. He managed to play for almost the entire game. It was my first experience of the game. I liked it […]

Home Again

October 22nd, 2009 · No Comments

It was beautiful weather at Tamboritha. The creeks were full and flowing with the melted snow. We walked to Thomastown on the first day. The water was freezing, not that I wet more than my feet. It was numbing.
I rode the horses morning and afternoon on Tuesday. We rode through the bush and along the […]

9 Holes

September 23rd, 2009 · 2 Comments

Yesterday we went to Cowes for a drive. It was really sunny when we left home and my clothing reflected this. Once I arrived I needed to buy a pair of warm pants because my skirt just wasn’t keeping the wind out. I love the emergency purchase. We checked out some real estate that we’d […]

He Came, He Went

September 17th, 2009 · 2 Comments

Words cannot describe my feelings when my son walked back in my door. Or when he left.
He looks vibrantly healthy and happy. We had a great time. He had stories to tell and was still able to entertain and amuse with ease. I got to see all his friends. It’s harder to let go this time […]

Resting

September 8th, 2009 · No Comments

Tonight is a quiet night. Darin is already asleep on the couch and I won’t be far behind I think.
Sunday was busy, Wilma and Darryl came and fitted wooden venetian blinds to my windows. I love them. Asha visited briefly in the afternoon and it’s always lovely to see her. One of Tom’s mates, Phil […]

Luna Park

September 7th, 2009 · No Comments

Awaking in the motel room earlier than expected we had 4 hours to distract three very excited children on Saturday morning from the much anticipated joys of Luna Park. The buffet breakfast was a good start and from there we headed for a walk around St Kilda. I loved the community garden and the farmers market next […]

Discovering Kongwak

August 31st, 2009 · No Comments

Darin and I went for a drive this afternoon to Cape Patterson. We were taking off from Warragul and went through the green hills on the windy roads and came across Kongwak between Korumburra and Wonthaggi. We stopped.
It’s a small place, yet it had a really colourful Market.  The people there knew the teenage kids by […]

Wednesday Night Watching

August 19th, 2009 · No Comments

I know I’m always banging on about not watching TV, but last Wednesday when I had the student information night I came home and Darin was watching ‘The Librarian’ on the ABC.I got into it, so much so that tonight I am watching again. I look forward to the ‘United States of Tara’ that will […]
