Cool of the Day
Posted on January 14, 2016 Leave a Comment
‘And they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day…” (Gen. 3:8) Gotta say in Winter I have NO desire to go outside in the cool of the day, but come Summer I can be found out there in the garden everyday. Enjoying all the growing […]
A Clean Sweep
Posted on January 12, 2016 Leave a Comment
It wasn’t a New Year’s Resolution, though it should have been. Rather, a gift given to me that I was most grateful for. Tech-savvy daughter home for the holidays between uni courses and I am the grateful recipient of a cleaned, organised and backed up computer. But not only my computer, but also ipad and phone. […]
Orthotics
Posted on December 10, 2015 Leave a Comment
The reducing of pain from a pair of good orthotics is a gift that brings enormous amounts of gratefulness from my body AND emotions. I confess to not always being the most patient of patients, so I am sure that this reduction in my pain will have spin-offs of gratitude from my family as well. To […]
Cygnets and Swans

I was enthralled! I love birds. What’s not to love? We had been walking with the swans and their three cygnets along the water front. Lots of people had been coming and going passed us, but we, having to walk slow for the nursing of my leg injuries, were enjoying the swan family at their […]
A Hare’s Whisker

You may well be asking yourself how a hare’s whisker even comes into my world, let alone be something I am grateful for. And I concur with you on that. In fact, I had to go look it up to make sure I wasn’t just having weird and odd phrases rolling around in my head. […]

Having paid the bill, we were getting ready to leave the supermarket, … Him pushing the trolley of goodies for our weekend away… Me folding up the receipt into my pocket and putting cards away… Suddenly I dived off yelling that I would catch him up. My poor darling dearest is used to this bizarre behaviour, […]
Kindness Just Blew In

Strong winds, rain and more wind… But we went away anyway. Eager as a beaver we were down to the beach with the dog leading the way, excitement oozing out of her. Zipping the jacket right up to the chin, we braced ourselves against the elements and off we went. It was easy one way, […]
Treats in Store
Posted on November 19, 2015 Leave a Comment
I am terrible at remembering birthdays. It is not unheard of for me to have finally got the present in a rush and a flurry and then realised too late that I had no wrapping or card, The kids all laugh and tell stories of how Mum wraps presents in teatowels or dressing gowns. Once […]
Delightfully Delish

It was taking a while for her to peruse the dress shop. I had decided to stay in the car so we could keep the windows down keeping the car cooler for the dog. We don’t have this dress shop in our town so we were happy to wait. No one was fazed. And she […]
Sharing Susan’s Sheep
Posted on November 13, 2015 Leave a Comment
It was lambing time and Susan’s sheep are well worth a visit. Being Pitt Island sheep they aren’t your normal run of the mill whiteys but rather, just a little quirky with dreds of black and brown. Susan likes quirky. I gotta say I like them too. They are interesting. She takes her bucket of […]
