Easter now.

Some more Snippets. See Karen's Facebook for good pictures. We had over 20 here for coffee at Easter. While Bella, Sarah and Karen outdid themselves in the food area again, I had 3 or 4 flops.Most of it tasted fine. Gary & Trev were at our place, where Gary finished enclosing the patio by covering in the gables. He did a marvellous job, as usual .It was quite complicated with the shapes he had to cut out.Now , unless something special comes up, next report will be after our trip to Bali and Ho Chi Min City.Trev has a bad cold but hope he will be better by next Thursday, ofcourse he will be. We had the flu needle and he won't ever have it again because he says that is the culprit Maybe there are some Easter eggs in the shed?

The Mundijong Fair had birds and we wanted another 1 or 2 chooks but one had to bid for them and the auction was not on till 12 so still no new chooks.

I do love this country and it's diversity makes it so interesting. Had not been to Mandurah for quite a while so really looked around a bit while dog/house sitting for the Morgans. It certainly brought back good memories of our home on the canals at Sth Yunderup . I just HAD to buy some charity tickets to see if I could win enough to buy that holiday home around there again. Unfortunately, not this week. Oh well, I keep trying. Real WA country, driving down Mundijong Road to the Freeway.
Mandurah is becoming more cosmopolitan,getting some high rise.

Sarah is 7 and Celebrates with an AMAZING RACE.

This week............................................,, Perth from Mosman. We took neighbour Kay's parents, here from England, for a day's drive around the river. The last AMAZING RACE tasks, were to complete a puzzle at our place, find what country then find Australia.Confused? That's because you're too old to understand, the kids were fine with it.
It was a wet affair
They all jumped in the pool, she was the smallest, bar, cousin Ella.
A pussy cat cake was inevitable, for Sarah.
Zoe is a College girl also now, that's her , ready to CATCH THE BUS ! ,this morning.
