Lov'n my New Kitchen and Living area

New cupboards and benchtops.

New floor covering through out the living areas and the hallway removed as well as a part wall.

Moved the dining room 

No its not a TV above the stove just a very modern range hood. This was Mr Bird's choice. He didn't do too bad I thought.

New Life

Dad just missed his 8th great grandchild Brooklyn ,born on Mum and Dad's 61 st Wedding anniversary.  But she brought some sunshine to great grandma's life. Congratulations to Shaun and Kirsty.

These Two

These two just love a bit of play acting and dressing up. Nanny Gail found some things belonging to her grandparents ... glasses and hat. I guess  this is what they thought they would look like . 

                Not sure what he was thinking Are you?

Celebrating the life of my wonderful Dad

I could not have wished for a more loving, kind, fair, hardworking and creative father. He was a true gentleman.  I loved him every minute of the 59 years and 11 months I had him as my Dad, my teacher and my best friend.

A younger "Ray" working in the bush all his life , he had a passion for nature.

After many years in the logging industry he bought this tractor in 1976  and began to do agricultural earth works ,  scrub clearing , fence lines and de-silting dams . He loved his Volvo loaders , his first one was sold to a farmer in the area and recently he found it and had to have a photo shoot. Of course he had many newer models after this  one.


Thank you  for your messages of love and support over the past 10 days .

Sitting and Watching

I am spending many hours sitting , watching and comforting  this beautiful man, my dad. Sadly he is really not well. The many memories going over and over in my head fill the hours and the tears of course.

At home the carpenters are hard at work - we are nearly there. The kitchen is almost done. A few more days ..... 

Interesting Photos

Mother Nature at her best and most interesting.

If you are a 30cm long brown snake caught in a pool you curl around a piece of fly away grass and float around.

Sunset from my back yard .

The park is so dry but there is still fun to be had at the end of the day.

Who can you see loving being lost in the ball pit.

Renovations

No sewing for a couple of weeks we are doing some renovations, getting a new kitchen and may be I  get a new sewing room too. Lots of unpacking cupboards and storing things for a few weeks. 

This was my sewing space 

Like my temporary desk leg  ha ha !

Another reason for not even hand sewing squashed in the moving ...Ouch !!
