Where does time go?



I thought when I wasn't working I'd have so much time to do the things I love....wrong again honey (as Courtney used to say) I can't believe its been almost a month since I last posted a Blog. Well the Bulldogs were on top of the ladder for a week...it was a split round...looking forward to some great games in the next few weeks especially the one at the Gabba in August when we will be there in full voice - well at least I will be. Friday I finally managed to get myself organised to go to the Carrara Farmers Markets with Leeanne to buy some Farmer Daves organic lamb - once you have tasted his sausages you would not buy any others. This week we had honey and mint - delicious. Check out his website www.farmerdave.com.au Another van 'Butcher Boy' sells organic beef - Leeanne and I went halves in a pack of Angus steak @ $10. Treated myself to a large bunch of carnations - Caiti chose them, a lovely hot pink shade - for $5. I love having fresh flowers in the house. Bill had a couple of days in bed with the flu (and he'd had his flu shot) - I felt like I might be coming down with it however I believe my immune system has really been boosted by the supplements I take each day and so far I'm still healthy (contact me and I'll happily let you know what they are). My cheeky possum Jack turned 11 on Wednesday, Brent is 9 today and tomorrow Robert will be 2 years off the big 40! Yesterday I spent a lovely couple of hours having coffee and catching up with David whom I hadn't seen for almost 20 years......and prior to that it would have been another 20 years.....yet it didn't really feel like it had been so long - I guess because we share some very precious memories we have a special friendship......and always will, I hope. Nearly bought a business last week, a Scrapbooking shop however before we could get an appointment with the bank someone else made her 'an offer she couldn't refuse'. In hindsight it was probably a blessing who really wants to work 7 days a week at our age??
Winter has set in - its been out with the slippers and on with the heater a couple of days recently......anyone who'd consider going south or camping at this time of year must be mad!
Spent some time making baby (my friend Patsi has finally become a Grandma) and birthday cards this week.....and have managed to scrap a few pages, but once again typical of me I digress from one album to another - I am up to 1976 in MY album - only 32 years till I'm up to the present!! I completely lose track of time engrossed in the memories my photo stash evokes - how cute my kids were, remembering the good and sometimes not so good times.
Till next time............woof - Go Dogs
