Cheers to 90 years

 We made a scrapbook / photo album for Dad for his birthday.  It was a good talking point and it was a great conversation starter.  It brought back lots of lovely memories.

Cheers to 90 years.

























































Father's Day 2025

We caught up with Crystal, Gerrard, Jason, Sharni and Anya for Father's Day.  We enjoyed a nice meal of chicken and chips, and white chocolate cheesecake for sweets.  That one is always a hit with Gerrard going back for seconds of the cheesecake.

We have changed our home decor from beach house to hunting lodge, with a fox hunting theme.  I don't agree with fox hunting, but I do like the riders in  red jackets, horses and hounds.  There is a Horse and Hound group in Tasmania that go riding at Clarendon House, but as we don't have foxes in Tasmania, it's just for a bit of fun.

Spring Daffodils

There were these magnificent bunches of daffodils for sale at the Post Office at Gravelly Beach.  I just had to buy some.  I took a few photos and set my camera to Creative Shot to get some artistic shots.  Daffodils remind me of  my Mum who grew daffodils in her garden and they always flowered for her birthday for the 4th August.  















Just beautiful.

Olivia's birthday at Frida's Sip & Paint

We had a girlie evening out for Olivia's birthday at Frida's Sip & Paint.  It was a fun evening with lost of laughs.  We were painting Wanda the Cow tonight, they have different subjects depending on which night you are booked into.  There were about six other tables with 6 - 8 people at the table, so we had a room full of artists, all painting Wanda.
