Celebrate together......my first SA5 Topps .....and yes I know you were all waiting for me to go whee or something else...LOL....you know you were

Morning sudokuers!

Um ah Guys! Were any of you on this trial?

A million dollar Sydney drugs trial has been aborted after it was found jurors were playing the puzzle game sudoku while evidence was being given.

He discharged the jury in the trial which had been running for 66 days over the past four months and had cost taxpayers an estimated $1 million.

I won't be on here much this morning - have to keep the phone line free until I hear whether d1 is really a delinquent or has been maligned! Have a great day!

Congrats Mammacita for TOPPS hi Suzy heard that about the jurrors I wont be here at all today as Im out to lunch with some craft ladies its set in a nursery its really nice 12 of us. Ill join mamma & Mizt for coffee before I go

Rena my daughter will be saying in Edmonton with m brother and his family. They may even go out to Alberta Beach where he has a property near the lake.

Suzy I hope the school doesn't keep you waiting too long before letting you know what has gone on or not with your daughter.

MAMA, you reminded me of rum and lemonaide I once had summertimes with neighbors. We would gather on my back deck ( mine was the shady in afternoon deck) after all the yard work was done for the week and have a couple of tall ones. Mind you, the rum was just for flavor, not half a jigger to a tall More...

I am listening to a little thunder bumper just north of us this afternoon. It is over the local small airport where the weather info is recorded, and thier temp has dropped to 75 degrees from somewhere around 90 degrees. We are getting a nice breeze from it. Hubby and I actually sat outside for a More...

RENA, I cannot believe you had snow this morning. I know my quilting friend up the north most tip of WA state said they might get some last night. this is such strange weather!

SA5ers

Just a quick sneak peek before I venture off down to the main street for my weekly 'Why am I doing this' ritual! It takes a half hour to walk there and that is ok, it's the walk home that is the killer! Uphill, all the way.

Atlast I got to read all the posts from the party down under. I am soo happy when we in different time zones get to " drop in" later to a party! So much fun to share your fun like that. Liz and Elsie were not around for the last to post contest and need to get the knack for posting on More...

Good morning all, like Gail just a quick catch with what you have all been up to before getting back into the SEWING!!!

Gr Auntie Rolanda here!!
my niece gave birth to a baby boy, Baby #3, last evening
10 June, 6.40pm, 8lb 8oz, 52cm
Simon Pieter Richard

Congratulations Auntie Rolanda!

It's official, d1 is NOT a delinquent. Whew! (wiping my brow here). Turns out the actual delinquent has a similar, though not identical, last name. Which raises the question, what if they had the same last name? It was the fact that her record to date had been clear that caused the VP to look More...

Wonderful news about the cooler weather MizT!

SUZY, I am so glad you got that cleared up at school. Any way you can follow up later to be sure they did remove this from her record? I would do some documentation now, who you talked with and when and what was said, just in case. Better to be prepared than daughter to have a blotch on her record.

POST 500 already, my we have been a talkative group!

Baby Simon's name..
the Pieter is after his Gr Gr Uncle Pieter (my mum's older brother, he will be 92 in Aug),
and the Richard is after his paternal Grandfather.

just back from Grocery Shopping.. Sigh!! still to put the groceries away !!

the weather is awful, rain rain rain.. fortunately I didnt end up looking like a drowned rat..

Stephen exam last night.. went well, he was a happy chappy - next exam tomorrow morn.

Good news about the exam Rolanda...

MizT - already started. VP told me I could just throw the letter away as it was all cleared up - not gonna happen!!! Will note when he called and what he said for future reference, just in case!

More quail babies! I don't think they will survive though - it's too cold. There seems to be a bit of natural selection going on too. They seem to manage their own population before we can reduce it for them (via a petshop or something).

Oh my goodness! Good Evening, Fellow SA5 Members! FIVE PLUS PAGES TO READ! I guess everyone has been here today except me.

ALERT! That comment took about 3 minutes to post, and gave me the timed out notice as well.

Have you let Gath know Julie?

If not I have just let him know again, if I can post this!

Just having a break to catch up.
Congrats Rolanda on becoming a great aunt again.
Glad every thing cleared up Suzy, for your daughter.

Hubby called me to check some letters he had written. Now I'm back, but I think everyone else is gone. Will try to catch up on comments here, on Easy comments tomorrow. (Still reading from early May there.) Will I ever catch up?

Good Night, All! I hope your day/night is excellent!

Congrats, Rolanda, on the great nephew! Glad to hear things got cleared up about your daughter, Suzy! Wow, Rena! SNOW!?

Hi Julie, sorry I missed you. I did not check back until now.

Evening all, just checking in before dinner. We're having buffalo wings with homemade ranch dressing tonight... oh, and salad

Did you get lots of sewing done today June?

Rum and lemonade MizT? Might have to give that a try! When I first went to the States in 1988 a woman from work ordered me a long island iced tea. Had NO idea what it was. Sure worked it out quickly when I had to get up to walk to the car!!!!!

Wont be in tonite as footy on Queensland V New South Wales will leave wine & choccies for all that are passing by cmon maroons

Hubby and I will be celebrating 20 years since we met this year. Our preference would be a return visit to the Queen Mary for Sunday brunch (our first 'date', sort of), but we might settle for a nice restaurant with a nice bottle of wine and NO KIDS!

Is this a TOPP?

Must be now
