Visitors

WE have had vistors from Colorado Springs for 2 weeks . We went to a gorgeous lodge,so the Brother in Law could fish for trout. but it was stormy so we just relaxed around a pig as the power was out. I went for a walk and took this picture of the lodge. Heavan.


THIS IS THE PIG

Wattles are out every where they are so pretty

august 12 2010

August 12 The Christening Gown I made gets another airing. Luci Phyllis Gladys a brown haired baby in a red haired family they are so pleased. And she has so much hair. The baby behind Luci is Milly who wore the dress back in February.

We had quite the family gathering as it was a special day so we managed to get a picture of us all , well almost all 3 missing grandchildren. Now why doesnt that surprise tee hee.

To Hobart Just because

James and I decided for our 9th Anniversary we would have a few days in Hobart, My childhood Home. Home for me until my parents passed away. This is the first time I went to Hobart because I wanted to go. Had not reason to go . Just because.

This is my beloved Mount Direction. I walked up the right hand side aged about 14 with a couple of friends. This was the view from our bedroom window. I loved its moods and colours. I hated it when fire threatened it. The views from the top were my first experience of real views, love the memories.

We also visited the childhood home, it is rather different now. Dad's precious sheds have gone. and a better view of the house is had. Memories. The window showing white was my bedroom.

This is the actual view from my bedroom window, my mountain, there always , when I was happy , sad, sick or well. I loved to wander in the bush and look at her , She is steadfast and always there .


They have changed the name of the street we lived in too , It is now Church point. Mmm interesting . I like t he history of Gregson Street, after Mr Gregson who settled at Risdon at the time of first settlement. The little church came much later. Although it has convict bricks in the foundation.

The lovely look of federation houses and Mount Wellington again. a view from our hotel.

Hobarts Sunsets are wonderful to see.

My happy husband on a Safari bus telling a Domadary he is friendly . WE had a lot of fun at ZooDoo in Tea Tree


We enjoyed the feeding of the animals and James now wants a Kangaroo as a pet. I dont think so some how . For some reason he didnt ask for a Devil

The Emus and Ostriches we fed by us holding a white paper bag of chaff, and prepared food, James' Ostrich swiped his whole bag of food bag and all and proceeded to eat the whole bag. Much to every ones delight. We had a ball and I think the animals did to


There are Tigers and Lions too see another time
Some cute birds and monkeys to see to. I ran out of battery in the camera , so was shut down from taking too many pictures.

How to win your heart

They wrap their fingers around your heart and you are gone! Luci

Number 9

June the 1st was a special day for many people . For us it is because Luci Phyllis Gladys Terry joined our expanding family she is so sweet . I haven't met h er in person yet. I have the dreaded cold/flu with the cold sores that are so dangerous to newborns. So I will get all well before I meet her. I have been told lost about her. like she weighted 8lbs 8oz and she has dark hair. Her brother and sisters have the gorgeous shades of Strawberry blonde . So she will be a stand out beauty in her family. We will meet her soon and love her to bits. I never thought I would have children, much less be the grandma to 9 gorgeous angels. WE are proud of our kids and grand babies. Who are all as excited as we are that another soul has been entrusted into our family.
