Happy Birthday Sara
We went to this great Lebanese restaurant last night, called....Sahra's, for Sara's birthday party. We ended up with a group of 12, though Tim Miller just briefly dropped in. It was great. Shanti, Prem, Phil, Claire, Kaz, Vico, Ad, Renee, Sara, Tim, Tim Miller for a moment and myself. The food was great, atmosphere was great, and it had a belly dancer, which draggged Claire, Renee, and Vico up for a dance. I must admit I really enjoyed watching them dance with her, many laughs were had. Really good evening.

Quick update..
How busy can one get??? Thank the Lord I had a relatively relaxing Sunday, after the last few days, I don't feel guilty when I have abit of a "bludge"...I think that maybe an Australian term, definition..???....just be lazy and loaf around maybe. On Monday, dentist, yet once again, the Australian Government is doing a major make over on my teeth, crowns all round, for free, as I am a "perfect" patient for their student programme, as I do not smoke, drink or take any drugs, prescribed or not.
, no gum disease etc. I exercise and eat right, so I am in the running for all their care, but it is very time consuming, being the guinea pig of students, the treatment goes extremely slow, as they are under the guidance of a specialist, who checks and teaches every step of the way. So...patience is needed. But its great, Lord is so wonderful to me to provide for me this way. Anyway Monday was a dentist day!
Tuesday and Wednesday I spent as an "extra" on a movie set for an upcoming Australian mini series called "Packed to the Rafters" to go to air after the Olympics. I spent those two days at a black tie cocktail party for a 5oth birthday, at a mansion near to us. Fortunately it was an afternoon affair. The first day was gruelling, as believe it or not, it was quite hot in the sun, and after the first day, my shoes were killing me, and standing around from 9-5 actually was not pleasant, I came home, had a bath, cause my back and feet ached, and then did some mother duties, and crawled into bed and was out to the world by 9pm. The next morning was a 5am start, so I had to get up and dress and make up for a cocktail party at 4am...mmm. And mind you, it was freezing on that balcony at 7am. The sun was behind the clouds until 12pm. and my hands have only just thawed out now I think. Ha. I actually had alot of fun and met some great people, have 3 phone numbers for new friends...and one is a boy, to my kids horror, he is a doctor who majors in exercise programmes for over 55year olds so that they dont kill themselves or do any damage. He was young, well, 30plus ish, I think, I am just friendly....ok, girls!! There were 50 of us extras, a few more counting the younger ones who were staff, waiters etc. and they were all my age. Alot of them were retirees, business owners who were doing it for fun, and to meet ppl. So that was a new experience, and worth a few bucks.
Anyway, big day ahead, got to get boys up and moving. Have a strategy meeting, as well....

Winter is coming....
I have been a little slack with my blogging...lots been happening. With two funerals in the past few weeks, I have been a slight "tad" emotional...both beautiful people, who will be greatly missed.
Its amazing you know, the only flesh family Isis had in Australia, was her mother, Suzie and brother Ari. Her funeral was a packed house, of all kinds of people, doctors nurses, old people,masses of young folk, poor, rich, you name it they came. Everyone told the same story of a caring, selfless, gentle uncomplaining friend who made them feel wonderful...and I mean EVERYONE!!! She knew where she was going and comforted all with her solid faith in Jesus, and His Plan for her life. I felt so honored to have known this special girl...
I have spent quite some time on phone organising business for my kids. Car biz drives me nuts.....but thank the Lord...I am seeing a light at the end of the tunnel
Heard some wonderful news, but not supposed to say anything as yet....whet your appetite????
Its all been good, have commenced my morning walks once again...a desire of my heart. and spent many an hour at the dentist.

ok.....
Well, it has been a HUGE week !!! to say the least. We, my family (as with many of our loved ones) have been deeply touched by the parting of Aaron Miller aged 29years. My older ones grew up with the Miller family and we have not had much contact with most of them for awhile, this sad parting bought us all back together. It was a bitter sweet reunion. My eldest 5 and I travelled interstate to the funeral. It was a very sad occastion...our hearts broke with the family. There was a very big outpouring of grief. We all realised...that we are FAMILY!!! It really was quite overwhelming. Love is eternal! I wanted to include a very beautiful poem that Pearl wrote about Aaron but it has been a long time coming, so I decided to post as I know a few of you have been waiting. It will come. He was a beautiful person, and will be greatly missed.
