Easter!!!!

I have been thinking about Easter, I don't like saying "Happy Easter", as it really wasn't a happy time (for Jesus) for the most of it...the result of it all, of course, changed the world, for ever....and continues to do so. So for me, it is quite a "deep" time...more than "happy"...I have never found it "happy"...as I child and teen, it borderlined...boring. (especially as a teen, as everything...was closed, and if you hadn't stocked up, it was a loooong day...I even tried to smoke banana leaves in my wilder days...Ha! lol) I wonder if I should have said that, mind you it was, mmm...35 odd years ago, and ppl wonder if I am abit eccentric.

My boys and friends have gone down to their father's for the break. Good! No more said! Not Ricky though, he is here with us all.

I cant eat sausages, they make me very sick. I have the story now...no animal fats, or alcohol, my liver just doesn't like it. So if I stay away I am fine. TTL.

Rick and I went out for lunch last Sunday with claire and Phyl, it was so good to catch up with them, and we went to a really great little place in Dural, which is very rural (bush) Funny thing, I knew the owner really well, she is a great friend of mine, and I didn't even realise that that was the restaurant she had bought. Figured that it was part of "the" plan catching up with her.

Anyway, love the photo of Faith and Rick, it was taken last year.

And ... a meaningful Easter to you....or a good restful, break

No pics this time

I seem to be really challenged when it comes to batteries at the moment! I am seriously working on getting it together. I have hardly been home...super busy. Lots of stuff happening.

Boys started back at football, so drove Peter to his game last week, besides shopping. Monday we had a planning meeting for our little woman's group, Tuesday Tim, Sara, Adam Ginny and Renee came over for dinner. Karen couldn't make it cause they have whooping cough at theirs, mind you Seth has been vaccinated against it...didnt do the job real well, did it! Claire is in Qld on hollidays. Thursday I went with Charity to visit Isis in hospital, we stayed for nearly 7 hours, it was quality time. She is slipping away, such a jewel she is! Friday we had a morning meeting...quite a few meetings this week. We also had our woman's group which was very inspiring.

So...biz, and I am quite excited to be visiting Adelaide in a few weeks, for a wedding. Have some wonderful friends there, and am so looking forward to it. I will be taking Rick with me.

and in answer to the thing that LIbby sent around. I dont actually have a photo, but I think one of the most memorable highs I have had, would be after the birth of Tim...my first. I was just so blown out, and happy and thrilled, at the miracle of life. It was love at first sight. And to be honest, it has been like that with all 10 of my kids, but the first I think was the most amazing. I had no idea, how much love comes with a baby.

(mind you I have had so many wonderful highs in my life, I could go on and on and on.....)

Renee's bikey and babe birthday party

I have some photos from Renee's birthday party last Saturday night. The theme was bikeys and babes. I actually didn't go as I stayed with Alan and Jay of Jo and Shane, and Anastasia, (which was more enjoyable for me actually)

The photos are of Nathan (Karen's man) and Tim, one I really like of Sara, she looks so cute and cheeky, Anastasia and Jo, Jo and Sara and Adam and Sara
