MORNING AT MT MARTHA BEACH

This morning Max and I met our youngest Michael at the beach. He had his kayak and also his girlfriends kayak with him. Michael, his girlfriend Chantelle and their dog Mack live one kilometre (0.6 of a mile) from us and Michael rang at 7am to see if we wanted to meet him at the beach to swim and go kayaking. Of course we said yes.

I had not been on a kayak for years and really enjoyed it.

This photo is of Michael and his dog Mack.

Usually Mack swims beside the kayak or walks along the beach near the kayak.

Today we got him sitting in the kayak and he loved it.

Check the YouTube video I made of Michael and Mack

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

TODAY THIS ONE IS 29

Talk about time flying. I can't believe baby number three is 29 today

WHERE HAS THE TIME GONE

How time flies when you are having fun

My Iceberg Roses survived our recent cold spell

On Sunday we had a family reunion for Max's mothers side of the family
Unfortunately due to cancelled flights and the expected bad weather many didn't turn up.
We were lucky with the weather, not a drop of rain.

Monday was a family get together for Chloe's 6th Birthday

Today is a babysitting day

Took Riley to his favourite store - Bunnings Hardware and bought him some new garden gloves.

Potted up a Chinese Star Jasmine this morning, can't wait to see how long it takes to fill this wreath. Hope it is full enough by Christmas time to sit by the front door as my Living Christmas Wreath.

Yep, time does fly when you are having fun

AUTUMN

1st Day of Autumn.

As with lots of Autumn days it started cool and cloudy and by afternoon there were clear blue skies and a little sunshine

Today I picked some roses - Iceberg and Pierre De Ronsard.

Loved putting them together with some Autumn leaves from my Japanese Maple.

SOMETHING SPECIAL

Well I think they are special

We had a family picnic a couple of Sundays ago and these are photos of the grandkids

Chloe, Riley and Lachlan

Lachlan is 7 and is my eldest daughterMelanie's son

Chloe is 5 and is also Melanie's child

This cherub is Riley 2 and is my daughter Amy's son

We had a fabulous family picnic welcoming Michael home from Army Training at Kapooka

MARCH OUT KAPOOKA

On the weekend we went to Wagga Wagga to Kapooka to see Michael in the

March Out Parade

He has joined the Army Reserve

The weather was terrible on the day of the March Out - it rained and rained and RAINED!!

Here are Max and I with Michael

Look at this rain
They kept them standing in the rain forever Enlarge the photo to see them standing at the back

If you enlarge this one you can see the raindrops

Here he was marching past us. He says he was looking at the guttering of the area we were sitting in as he knew if he saw us he would start smiling

His partner Chantelle was so happy to see him again after being gone for 29 days

She couldn't get enough of these kisses

HEART SESSIONS

Once again Rebecca Sower has Heart Sessions on her blog

Go check her latest Heart Sessions no.4

This heart is part of what I am creating using the bits and pieces featured in my post DAY 12

I have been having fun just picking this piece up when I have a few spare minutes

The sequins are really more a flesh colour but have shown up with an apricot tinge to them on the photo

Todays words of love

Love is strong yet delicate

It can be broken

To truly love is to understand this

To be in love is to respect this
