2012

Its been a hot start to the new year.  Lots of fire works were around last night well into the early hours of the morning.
I don't know what the new year will hold.   a new begining for Tori.  Anything else new I do not know about.  Maybe a new grandchild or maybe not.
THe new /old sprinkler system is working a treat.  Now I will have a garden that I am proud of.  I have some beautiful lillies in it at tthe moment.  One is a deep maroon nearly chocolate.  I chose it because it reminded me of the flowers Hope had for her wedding.  Another is a pretty hot pink.  The third is yet to flower.  The gladies have done really well but have finished now.  This year I have had one sort of flower most of the spring to early summer out at one time or another.  It makes gardening fun.
I am looking forward to spending more time with my family.  More time with God.  More time with friends.  Wheather or not I get to have a licience still remains to be seen.
My three grand-daughters are growing. Addie is 2.  Rachael 15 months and Tiny at nearly one is walking.
Katie may change persisions if she gets into Uni this year.  It would be good if she does.
I intend on staying at the Salvation Army this year.  I have been there nearly a year now.  I am still enjoying the friendship and the challanges given out by the captians each week.

christmas carols

Tonight the 10 december Tori and I and friends went on a bus to Melbourne.  There we celebrate christmas in true christain style.  The songs were great,  the donkey goats, sheep and camels did steal the show at one time.  The timbrels were a delight to Tori as she is currently learning some of them.  And santa come on back of a a motor bike.  Mary road a donkey.  The main artist road a wagon.
Everything was great and it was inside so the rain did not hurt us.
All went well until we got back in the bus.  It to
ok us a while to realise that the drive who was on his phone outside the bus was not making a personal call but a call to the bus company as in his hand he held the gear stick.
The company were all at a party and were not much help.  It took a while not it took a long time before they beleived that the bus was undriveable and that the whole gear stick had come out not just the top.  None of them could drive down and they had to be 0.00 blood alchol, any way a bus of the same company was in Melbourne and after some time it was able to take us safely home.
We are all glad that the gear stick did not break while traveling down a hill or on the freeway.  God was watching over us.

Wedding

The weddidng of my daughter Cassandra and son in law Ben.  Cassandra was totally beautiful with soft curls cassading down her shoulders, and a dress that looked stunning.  The weather was kind to us too.

Tori and Joel

This is Tori and Joel at the deb.  Tori of course looked stunning.
Today i was given a doll house.  The cat claimed it straight away by sitting in it and hidding from the other cat then pouning on the other cat.  Rachaels Mr. Lion also like the doll house

 rachael is 13 months old now and loves the camera.  This is her peering into  it, moments before the hand went over the lense.

what a week

Well I have been on a rollercoaster ride of  ups and downs.  I did it hard this week. But today Monday I am looking forward to a new week.
Had a great day yesterday at church( the Salvation Army)  I was really encouraged after having a bad week.  People really do care.
Had my second last soldier ship classes as well.  There is only 3 of us now.  we need to make a descion weather or not we are going to join.  I am.  I like what I am learning.  I am invovled also in a ladies bible study a prayer group and fellowship group
Its a beautiful day, its going to be a beatiful week.  The only down side that I can see at the moment is that my dog has to be put down. He is so old and sick I will miss him as I have had him longer then I have had Tori.
Tori and I are going to plaster fun house today then meeting a friend for coffee and cake.
Its family tea tonight, looking forward to see everyone and my grand daughter.  Rachael is now standing up in the middle of the room and taking some steps.  She is so clever.
Tori and Rachael spent time on saturday playing with a balloon.  Rachael loves balloons.  She has some cute actions at the moment.
Looking forward to my daughters wedding in Nov and to seeing the other two grand daughters, and of course my biggest girl

sping again

wow its acually spring.  Rachael was one yesterday.  She is so cute.  I am really blessed to have 3 beautiful grand daughters.  Though I can not see 2 in person I do spend some time on skype to them.  They know who I am.
Yesterday was a full day of prayer for the Salvo's I was involved in a fair bit of it.  It was great.  I know that God heard our prayers and are eagerly waiting answers.  It  is so good when God's people get together and pray.
Fathers day is almost here.  We are going bowling for the afternoon.  Toris idea.  The family are coming for tea, which will be nice.  Sorry Bytha I will send you some in the mail if you like!
Not sure what I want to do on such a beautiful day, if the Avon lady comes I can go for  a walk. I might sit outside and read for a while.

Had a wow bible study with Robyn today.  God sent us specail promises.  He always fulfills his word, in his time, but he does it.  This is a new eara and a group of new promises.  I love being alive.

My girls bar Bytha,  What a night to have them all together

Tori and her partner Joel.  She looked so good and concertrated so hard on the dances, until it came to the free dancers which she took off jumping all the time.  She ask for a song to be played and got a lot of people up dancing to it.  she had a great night.  She is so grown up now
