A Birthday and an outing....

On the 19th October my youngest baby had her 42nd  Birthday so we got together to celebrate.

I just love this photo of Liz and her youngest son Clayton ......

they get on soooo well.

Here they are comparing muscles...... so funny

Liz does weight lifting and Clayton plays AFL footy.

Her other son  Jake was at work so he missed the fun.

Jacarandas are so lovely and it was a very pretty sight on the way to the shops where we enjoyed lunch for her special day.

We had birthday ice cream cake which is a tradition in their home.

Thanks for a lovely day Liz and Clayton.

On Tuesday our very small group.....

Teresa, Norreen and me decided to have lunch at a very pretty cafe not far from home.

While Sandi is away these 3 little kittens went out to play....

"Green Frog Hollow" cafe

Teresa and Nor

The gardens are so beautiful.....

 It was so relaxing there.....

We did have a sensible lunch which didn't even get in the photos but.......

it was followed by this naughtiness.....

ooooowa

Well it was only Teresa and me that were naughty really.....

We are all off  to a retreat in Tasmania tomorrow so hopefully lots of photos to come.

Sunday Stitches group

My Big Brother

A trip down memory lane with Tom.....

Many years ago he did drag racing..... motorbike racing and stock cars.

Restoring old bikes.

His Trans AM that he was so proud of.

The number plate read..... BANDIT 

I was a bit scared of Santa but big brother to the rescue.
