Mc Happy Day 2012

Zoey 18 months being cheeky as usual

Ayden 4 yo riding his bike at our caravan

Heath 4 yo just being Heath not allowing Nanna to take his photo. Because i've been way to busy to keep this blog up to date, i'll try to bring it up to date with some pictures of our adventures with a few words explaining what they are. I will try to keep on top of things from now on.

Having fun at the Cobram Show

Loaded up leaving the show. Grandkids had a ball.

Remembering Mum on her birthday with some very special girlfriends and my beautiful daughter

Trio of dips, persian feta, scones jam and cream. Delightful!!

June 4th 2012 Getting Away

Last Monday the family went to the Murray to our caravan for a bit of a break from the dreary Melbourne weather. As much as its cold on the Murray, the days are so much better and normally filled with sunshine. We went over to Echuca on Tuesday to catch up with some friends, have lunch and enjoy a change of scenery. Wednesday and Thursday were spent doing some cleaning and a few repairs or general maintenance then Friday the Melbourne lot starting rolling in for some very entertaining times over the weekend. Sunday was clean up day, pack up day and drive home. I stayed, as the plumber (who was coming last Thursday/Friday was apparently coming Monday) so armed with not a lot and no car i bid my family farewell and prepared for my first night EVER alone in my caravan. I must admit, it took a while to get used to, but i survived and i am very proud of myself for that. its amazing how you can fill your day in. I have several books here that i want to read, but i just havent had the time. Its Tuesday morning, I'm still here alone and loving it. Its so peaceful, i think i just needed to recharge my batteries. I miss my family specially my grandchildren who keep me on my toes,

Who wouldnt miss this little cheeky face?

Heath and Ayden so intently watching TV, they didnt even notice me trying to take photos.

Heathy boy helping Nan cook!!! They are all so helpful.

Sausage Rolls the boys helped me make.

Sorry its been so long

Where does one restart when lifes journeys are all over the place.

I'll start from today!

Up at 5.00am, just could't sleep, starting watching my favourite cooking shows (as i get no time now with the twins who are nearly 3 years old - more on them later) Good Chef Bad Chef. It wasn't long before i had company and 2 little boys asking so nicely for Dora. That was the end of the cooking shows. After a back scratch & tummy rub they settled down for their morning Dora feast.
I took the opportunity to phone the hospital to check on my mother who has been in hospital for the past 4 weeks with gall stones which they have operated on but because of her age (85) there have been a few difficulties. This morning she wasn't feeling very well and in a lot of pain so i will make her some home cooked goodies and try to boost her spirits with those when i visit later today.

Meanwhile my DD, SIL & 5 week old baby woke up and the house was alive with chatter, breakfasts, washing, folding, tidying and plans for the day.

This is as far as we have got so i'll get back and add to this post later today.
