Ok, its been awhile...like over a month. And yes, it just sped by...lots of visitors, lots of family and grandchildren, and lots of heat, we have had a really hot summer here, haven't had heat like this for quite a few years. Also, I was off the air...computer wise for about 3 weeks, until Zeth so kindly, sorted out the situation...once again...heeza luv.
I am pretty over taking photos at the moment. Can't seem to get it together, have a few on my camera that I will download later.
BUt basically, it has been a very "rich" time in my life...lots of fun, fellowship and good times. Healthwise, it all takes its toll, when the adrelalin runs high, I need to really rest and pace myself...ahem...not easy when you want to stay up late and spend time with guests.
Anyway this is just a quick note, as someone was wondering if I am still alive...

thoughts
Just sitting here with my feet up, resting, thinking. Rick has about 6 girls and 3 boys over for a little get together for Christmas...I am keeping an eye on them, but thankfully the girls out number the boys, so I am not too worried...the girls tend to stick together...lol.
I am feelling good about Christmas. My sister and brother and some of their families will be with us on our regular Boxing day "bash". I was at a party last night, and someone asked me if we still get together on Boxing day, and I said, "yes" and they said "Oh good, we will pop in then"...so the writing is on the wall...I'd say. I am so glad Karen and Renee are organising it all. They can get a bit ruthless though. I have had a few complaints about the sms "demands"...lol. I am just so thankful for them. I am quite happy to just pick up empties and wash up...as usual. They can do the rest.
Daniel is alot better this week...thank God. Boy it was pretty grim there for awhile. He had his shoulder reconstruction, and got the flu on top of it. He was NOT a happy camper, and I sure knew about it!!!
Lord has been so good to me of late. Told you I was just thinking! I have had so much more energy, and I am loving it. Anyway, summer is the greatest, and thanks to Zeth, a wonderful person, who always, so patiently helps me with my computer stuff...I really do appreciate you

fun fun fun
well, the news...he did arrive safely. Sara woke at 4.30am and delivered him at 6.30am...unbelievable, if you ask me. It was hard and fast, and he is georgeous...I think its the hair and the chub. And they are the proudest parents.
I helped Karen Christmas shop with the kids. She had Deegan in a front pack facing me, and everytime I talked to he, he would goo and ga at me...he just thought I was talking to him...He is such a love, that little baby, smiles so much.
Seth was having no part of the "sit on Santa's lap and have a photo taken" trip...dont blame him...the Santa was weird.
What else...mmmm....so much to think of. Took Anastasia for a photo shoot to update her portfolio, the girl in the office said that so many ppl had been asking for her to do their work...good.

It's a birth day day today....
I must admit I am abit excited, as Sara is going in to the hospital to have the baby induced. He must be very happy and content where he is....not for long. Ha!
Haven't been updating for a few reasons, one is I now need a new modem, and it is on its way, and two, been super busy. Have had Nic and Katia and kids staying with us, and that was great. I love watching him with kids, very entertaining. I often wonder how I did it. It was all a big blur of work and sleep deprivation, but I so loved it when my kids were little.
I have been really enjoying life of late, I love the long summer nights, and the warmth. I have been pottering around in the garden with all the flowers...and weeds, and snail hunting. You know, I don't like beer, but I have changed my mind BIG time now...I do like beer, cause, if you put it in the garden in a little container, or leave a few dregs in the bottle , the snails climb in, have a drink....and DIE...which means, that they aren't eating my flowers. So there, a good reason to like beer, about the only one, as far as I am concerned, I must be the only Australian who doesn't like beer, or football or meat pies for that matter. How un'Australian am I.
Oh yes, Renee and I went to see "Australia". What a great movie. Totally enjoyed it. You have to see it on the big screen, as the scenery is out of this world. The story is basically predictable, but enjoyable never-the-less. And I feel it covers the "stolen generation" issue with the Aboriginals very well. The movie is magic, loved it.
ANy way, big day today, Sara is off to the hospital to be induced, and I am taking Daniel to the hospital to have his operation to have his shoulder reconstructed...OUCH. Photos will come when I get back online.....

long time.....
Have been with my family abit of late, which has been really good. Today, I went with Karen to take Seth for a photo shoot. we called in to see Sara and her mum, Ruth. She looks great, we are all excitedly waiting for her little man to arrive.
Yesterday, I went up to Karen's and helped her go shopping, not an easy feat, with a very busy 2yr old, and baby. Its physically impossible to push the shopping trolly, a pusher and hang onto a 2year old escape artist.
Monday...mmmm, oh yes, went to a funeral of a very old dear friend, a year younger than me, who just up and left us. He leaves a wife and a young family of 5. God must have a very BIG plan happening here. I came home and went to visit Clare, who has just had a major heart operation. She was doing wonderfully, thank God.
will continue, in a minute...am being interrupted

mmm....what have I been up to? I will backtrack.
Friday: Went with Charity to a factory outlet, got Chris a new pair of shoes for his birthday. We then went into the city....parked at Kings Cross where we can get a free parking space, rather than the very expensive car parks in the city. We then had a great walk through the domain to visit with Sam, my friend who is a gold dealer...good friend these days. He is a wonderful man, and has a great family also, always a pleasure to see. We then walked back to "the Cross" up the most incredible flight of stairs, and I must admit, it wasn't as painful yesterday. We then went to visit Claire (from Coffs Harbour, mother of numerous children, some being Rose Anabelle and Nick). She is awaiting a major heart operation. We had a good visit.
Thursday. mmm. went somewhere. scary huh, can't remember...lol. It will come to me
Wednesday. we had a prayer meeting at my place. Did biz.
Tuesday. Cleaning day
Monday. Spent some of day with Sara, which is always nice, we went to the factory outlet place. and I am sure I did other things also.
OHH YES...backtrack to Thursday...went with Virginia to find out I am having another healthy, perfect GRANDSON...so that makes ....ready for it...5 grandsons....THank God for Anastasia..won't be too much fun playing with the cousins in a few years time. You never know...I have all pink babies clothes...I will hang on to them by faith. So yes, what to do...its a man's world.
and today, we are having a family barby to discuss our plans for Christmas...fun.
