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.
