The past week.............

Just over a week ago, our family lost our beautiful Nan! She turned 88 in February. She was a kind hearted, loving lady who was a whizz in the kitchen (my favourite Golden Syrup Dumplings and Peppermint Slice!!). She was the sewer of the family too, and made us all many, many outfits, each our own Raggedy Anne doll (which I still have!)....... The sewing skill rubbed off on me I think! Thanks Nan xx I remember when I was a little girl, she would rub silk in my hair to make it shiny, and tuck me in SO tight that I didn't move all night LOL. One embarrassing memory I have is...... One time we walked to the shop after I stayed over the night to buy an ice-cream. Once there, I peered into the big freezer to pick what I would like...... I couldn't see the one I wanted - a triangle one! Yes, a triangle one...... I had the shop keeper puzzled as was Nan..... Me, I started to chuck a little bit of a 'tantie'! We later found out the 'triangle' one was a Cornetto ice-cream.... only new out and the shop didn't have any! LOL..... I used to remind Nan of that outing and we both had a laugh about it!

We love and will miss you our sweet Nan xx


While the family was here from QLD, we decided to take some 'time out' and went to catch up with friends Vicki and Christine at the Cherry Shed in Latrobe. Here is from left Vicki, Christine, Roseanne and Myself...... Mum took the pic and who knows where Kate took off too!:



And, while we were there Roseanne gave Christine her Bag Swap Gift...... Here is Christine with it!

What is Roseanne up to? Hmmmm smoking? Nah, we made her do it LOL

Desert time! Here is what a few of the girls had...... Pancakes with Cherry sauce and ice-cream and NOT the half serve either, but I wont tell! Naughty naughty!!

Me..... I had a scone with Jam and Cream of course!

I have more pics of our day out..... will get to them tomorrow.

I hope you are all enjoying your weekend.
