Happy Mothers Day

Happy Mothers Day to all the mum's out there....Hope you got breakfast cooked for you this morning.
My darling hubbie bought me breakfast in bed today....

I thought I would search my photos for pictures of the mums in my family... One Sis in law is missing because she hates photos but she should be here , mum of two and grandma of two.

Hope you have a great day being pampered, thought of, indulged or just remembering all the good times and  beautiful memories being a mum brings.  

Hugs for those mums who cannot be with their children today...

My baby ...27 years ago

The best thing in my life is being a wife and a mother  - Our son is now grown up and our family has grown. Even though our son has a  beautiful wife and  darling daughter of his own he will always be our very special baby/boy/man. ....

I am thankful everyday that I am am mother.......Love Mum.

Happy Mothers Day.

More Natural Beauty

Photos taken from Sedona, Arizona.

The Grandest Day

Our trip to the Grand Canyon started with a cowboy show , then a luxury train rides then a beautiful vista.....

Amazing Arizona

Today we had an amazing drive to Phoenix, we drove through Sedona, Arizona.

Pine forests, bear parks, and red rock outcrops and gorges. Arizona has amazing natural beauty.

Happy Easter from the Grand Canyon, Arizona.

Happy Easter to Everyone.  Right now we are at the Grand Canyon....What a good job Mother Nature has done here....We were also lucky enough to go out on a steam train as it was Earth Day yesterday. Outside its one degree... It's been a little cold and rainy at night. But beautiful. We were also treated to a Navajos Indian dance display ....

A Little more Disney

A little more Disney

Couldn't resist snapping these Micky Mouse Ears.

When Dreams come True

Disneyland was a spectacular day. When you think about it I have waited 50 years to go there,ever since watching Disneyland every Sunday night when I was a kid. Let me tell you it was worth the wait. The fantasy,the artistry,the rides,the fun,the displays and the parades. Better photos when I get home..

Not the best photos yet ...still working on it....

Return to Sanfrancisco

Looking across the bay 

Cute little houses near the sea the houses are for the shipping pilots(the men who sail the big ships into the port of San Francisco)

Arrived in LA

Reminiscing about The Eagles and Hotel California .Sorry couldn't keep the tourist out of the pic when I was taking it while Bernie was driving .

Found this amazing shop front display in Santa Monica Mall ...two entire walls of old sewing machines .  Awesome.

Happy Easter Baby

I think she likes it. The ears and the face make it easy to hang onto and swing around and I put Bells in his ears to make lots of noise..... The photo is not great ..sorry

Monterrey Bay

I am having trouble with photos so none this time. I can't seem to add them from my iPad. Bernie and I are having a great time . We have spent a couple of days in the Monterey. Bay Area. it is so beautiful we stayed in this little place called Carmel. Right across from the famous Pebble beach golf course. Bernie is looking and dreaming. We drove around 17 mile drive which you have to pay $10 for the pleasure of driving around the exclusive Pebble beach community. Probably need a couple of mill plus to buy a house there and that would be the cheap one. Saw some seals on the beach enjoying the sun . We also have seen a some deer. They don't seem to have to pay to be on the golf course. 

We have had a great time so far. The people have been lovely and friendly and polite. We have felt very safe and  we are having an easy morning today.....talk soon

I Left my Heart in San Francisco

Hello from San Francisco. What an amazing city. I just love it. I am having trouble loading photos so I will try to send a few through. We had 3 days of glorious weather and we could actually see the Famous Golden Gate Bridge very day we were there. We took big bus tours around the city by day and by night and saw lots . I even went shopping at Macy's which I thought was really just like Myer or David Jones. We left today and we were lucky enough to see the foggy vista as well. 

Easter Bunny

A little Easter Bunny for you know who?   

I hope she likes it....

We won't see her for Easter so it will be an early present.

Precious Time

It is precious time when your children and grandchild visit. This weekend was beautiful and precious. We spent time with family went to dinner and had lots of baby cuddles. 

Evelyn with Great grandfather ( grandpa) grandfather (poppy) and father(dad)

With her new dress I bought on the GDITC trip 

With Poppy 

Poppy bought racing stripes for his little girl - ferrari of course.

and grandma bought me alice socks 

 It sort of brings a special beat to your heart when you see that cot you kept  now in use again for  the next generation. Not bad for 27 years old.

Just woke up 

Cuddles with mum

I am so fast now



That was my precious weekend!  Just loved it! 

Slow and Steady

I began the 'my favourite things quilt" by Anni  Downs  a couple of years ago, about 4 months after the StitchALong girls started theirs. But I have taken a lot longer than most of them to finish.  

 It is said a quilt that isn't worked on doesn't get finished. Guess that's not rocket science. 

So last weekend I got into it and Ta ...Da......  Some more blocks finally done... Not ironed and one not quite finished. Row 2 and 3 blocks.
