Back to the wedding of the centuary....

My nephews bride is Venezuelan and the theme was the mixing of cultures....WOW! What a party!!! After all the tradition Aussie speeches etc. we all received party bags containing floral garlands for our necks, feather masks, whistles and maracas and More...

everybody for letting me CP and TOPP!
Now it is over and out from this brussel sprout...sorry...Broad Bean....

Time to hang out the wash, empty dishwasher, put out the rubbish....do all the chores that the boys would do if they were here!

My price for some peace and quiet...

Happy Easter.

Happy Easter.
Bean that wedding sounded fantastic, hope your penny saving is going well so you can experience the Venezuelan ceremony.

Woke up to snow lying and still falling this morning. First real snow of the winter... pity it is now spring. It has melted by this afternoon. Callie was a little unsure of what this white stuff was.

Hello All....Brenda...sure hope the snow is over before I get there.....right now it appears that I will be packing more silk than anything ...travels well, can be worn in most temps and remain comfortable....but of course I will be including my denims. My biggest concern right now is foot wear. More...

Maen all! I spent Easter Sunday washing clothes, and it's just as well I did as it is raining again. Of course the dark load is still on the line and the whites are soaking....

We hid 24 coloured eggs around the house, but only 23 were found... I'm guessing we'll find the last one when it starts to pong.

Mum is helping start up an art gallery in her small town. On the first open day two paintings sold - one was hers!!

SUZY, congrats to your Mum, how wonderful one of her paintings sold! Bet you are just a bit proud of her!

Just a teensy bit MizT. Nearly 20 years ago Mum gave up art classes in order take on nursing classes. Finally she is getting a chance to show her stuff!!

How wonderful for your mum Suzy...why don't you take some pictures of her work and show them to the world? I know I'd love to see them....a mother's day gift of sorts...also a gift to the world. Please pass on my congratulations for the sale.

congrats .. Bean on your TOPP..
Congrats .. Suzy's mum. well done on the painting
Brenda .. Brr.. lovely weather here..
Hey Mama .. sounds like you have your packing undercontrol.
Tricia .. have lots of cuttings for you from the Fernery.

SA4ers

Finally back online! Our connection went down yesterday around noon and we have only just been able to get onto the company, they were avoiding their phones yesterday! I wonder why?
Apparently it was a Victoria-wide problem, and it was up about ten minutes after the phonecall.

Hi Gail, Glad you're back.
There's nothing worse than losing your internet connection or not having your car for the day. In those cases, I feel like my arms have been cut off - shows what I rely on. Another is Foxtel, if that's down I can't cope. The strange thing is that there are days I More...

Forgot to bring in the goodies for morning tea -


Do have some coffee and cake and enjoy your day.

OH, CynB, if that is how your morning starts, with such lovely tea, all your days should be near perfect! thanks much lor the cake, looks sinfully rich, just my kind.

I do hope Gath gets back from his holiday soon and manages to aprove all the chairs and sofas that are pending. Huumm, wonder if he looks at the avatars? will he figure out that SA4 is being re decorated? Shhhhh, I will never tell.

Ahhh, there's my chair now, I shall sit with feet up and enjoy some cake.

I did it! I posted a photo of one of my mother's paintings on my page. First try too! Obviously this isn't the one she sold - it's gone...

I had better watch out or soon I'll be motivated to find myself a chair.....

WOOHOO Suzy, so proud of you.
Go on, get yourself a chair, you've deserved a sit down!

Now Suzy dont get too rash now, and get your own chair..
mind you sitting on the window sill like Becky does, or on those orrible wooden chairs we have in here is most uncomfortable..
umm.. now I wonder who bought the first comfortable chair to the meetings and others followed suit ??

ello Twinnie.. how goes it?

Hello Gail, Rolanda and MizT - I've probably missed you all again. It's a slow day today and, although I'm supposed to be doing accounts/invoices for our business, I keep checking back on site.

all. Hope everyone had a good Easter.

Talked to my sister today and was told that my nephew's caterer bailed on them (said he was too busy). The wedding is less than a month away. Called him up and guess who's helping? Spoke to hubby and he offered to do whatever he could to help.

yay...what do you think MizT....not quite as flash as my first choice of chair but oh so very comfy.....will probably need to get around for a while. Have been down the gym working on it to try and increase my mobility.

I'll be able to put my feet up here and you'll never get rid of me now...I'll even be able to have a wee nap.

Veeery noice chair there Bean. I'm impressed.

where were you hiding Gail?

Becky, what are families for but to be there in a crisis! You have my thoughts and sympathies. If there is anything, and I mean anything at all we can do, don't hesitate to ask!

I was just wasting another hour of my life doing the 16x16!

Look at you go girl! Nice rose.

I'm playing around with my avatars and I've discovered you can only use one at a time....better lope over and find my chair and bring it back...

Should be able to Bean...

just testing my chair or is that rather bright rose still there...

I don't seem to be having any problems! Just make sure once you've 'ticked' which avatar you want, you must the press the select button.

hehe

how confusing...this will take me a while to sort out! MizT sent me one with just my name but I haven't submitted it yet...we are now on slomo and it is all taking too long. I think that I may be responsible for using up our allocation this month!!!! Don't tell Lachie that I've confessed!!

ok smarty pants....
hehe!!

All that mucking around, I'm exhausted! Better have a snooze in my chair.
(actually have to go make dinner)
Take care of yourselves.
