. . . it is time . . .

Chooks We thought they were off the ;lay, then we found these around the back of the coop!!! Sunday evening tree climbing a quick outing to a park  and some physical exertion to finish off the weekend Christmas - are we ready? Friends A cuppa with Terri on the 'observation deck' as the kids swim Moet with Karen and Carolyn at our Christmas gathering  Christmas Morning My gift to children was to enjoy as swim with them.  I don't go in very often THe dinner table before we ate  After Christmas  The buddy chef prepares her pizza pans

Our upright freezer lost the will to work on Friday 24/8/2012.  Michael's mother had it prior to her going into a nursing home in 1994, so it had worked hard for a very long time. There were a significant number of over-ripe banas in there.  So not wanting to waste them I have been very busy baking all day.  There was one other banana cake, I took it over to a friends for morning tea. banana & date muffins; banana cakes x 3; banana bread I hope the staff at work enjoy the cakes :)

How lovely it was to have Bronnie come for afternoon tea. It was a real win:win, because the house was cleaned before she arrived. Kira vacuumed and had an amazing discovery in the laundry under the washing machine. She can now answer the eternal question "what happens to the other sock?" She found 8 plus a handkerchief!!!! We had a lovely catch up and enjoyed our afternoon tea. Visitor cake; GF chocolate brownie; cupcakes from the markets; flan from Bronnie

This is only a week late. I was having too much fun last week to be on the computer.  Then I had to work 5 days!!! I had a lovely Mothers' Day.  I received many gifts from the children and a couple from Michael.  The kids went to card class with Sue Rowe . They each made a set of these super goodies.  I received one and Amanda their Day care mum received the other one. I got a special one from them each as well. After gifts, cards and breakfast I made sushi: Then we headed off to Sea World for the day.  The weather was perfect. We did spend a little time inside with these gorgeous creatures. . . . and we enjoyed our picnic of sushi :)
