The After Mothers Day

Firstly today is cousin Jan's BIRTHDAY so Happy Birthday Jan Caitlyn and I explored Settler's Hill, a town in the Rockingham area . It is so much bigger than I thought. I've not been in there for years although I knew quite a few colleagues lived there. We were looking for somewhere nice to walk and found a gorgeous park. Wish I'd had a camera because it had the strangest piece of art in there, strange but I loved it. It was a huge metal , eucalypt type tree and on it's top branches were old sailing ships and it's bottom branches had modern cars and houses as leaves. I guess the idea was a blending of the areas significant trees with history and today. We walked (she Prammed) and she had a play. New shops have opened at the end of the freeway and we had a look in there. Mothers Day was great. Net & Gary called in in the morning and then we had the footy and our team won and won well , which was a great relief because we had been diappointed up to now. We all met at the Golden gate restaurant which was about the only Chinese in our area when we lived in Melville the first time and it is still going. The kids had a great time, the food was lovely but they obviously could not cope with the big influx so service was a bit slow.I was quite spoiled which I thank my family for. Net & gary are going on holidays up North and Nanny & Geoff to Europe and the US so we had dinner with them and their family at a new Indian Restaurant last night. Again ,food was lovely but they forgot some of the food and we had to ask for our rice. Not good but I guess they might get better in time. Was good to see the busy Uni students who all seem to be doing well. Birthdays next week are Jo and Ellie on the 24th and Net on the 25th. A bit early but Happy Birthday to Jo, Ellie and Net.
