Mother's Day 2025

We spent a lovely day at home with family visiting for Mother's Day.  It was great to catch up with everyone. 💝

Morning Tea a Cressy.

We went back to the amazing Farmhouse Bakery in Cressy for Cappuccinos and Almond Croissants.  It was a lovely sunny Autumn day, so we took the scenic route home.  I'm still learning to take photos from the back of the Spyder and travelling at up to 100 kph.  Some are a bit blurry.  It's a learning curve.

Garage Sale

Crystal and Gerrard had a garage sale last weekend.  We went to visit them and give them a hand.  It was a lot of fun for the morning catching up and there were a few customers.

Is that a Cabbage Patch doll dress or a baby dress.

I'm certain Crystal wore that when she was a baby.
