Around my ‘hood!

I don’t think there is a person in the world who doesn’t know that I have been sick (well except those zillions that don’t read my blog haha)!   I certainly did have a bit of a moan about it.  In my defence though, it was pretty horrid (high […]

A lovely day out!

My 50th birthday celebrations continue!!  Let’s drag it out for as long as possible I say.  Heck – why not make the rest of this year a celebration!  Why not indeed?! 🙂 Yesterday was a lovely day out!  A good friend of mine and I were meant to […]

A Mind Dump

Woah – there is a lot going on in this ‘ol mind of mine lately, to the point where I am having some full on CRAZY dreams the last few nights! This post is a bit of a mind dump where I share some of the amazing and […]

Flashback Friday: My Twin Boys

I love this photograph of my boys holding hands at the beach when they were little.  Such sweet innocents they were then.  The world was one big wonder!  This was taken at a holiday at Caloundra.  I think it was taken around January 1996. They loved the beach […]

Flashback Friday: Expo 88

What do you know!  I still have my Expo 88 Season Pass! Why are you laughing?  My orange toned lipstick?  It matched the orange in the dress I was wearing (which you can’t see)!!  My hair style?  I’ll have you know that in 1988 that was VERY stylish!  […]

A day in the country

On Saturday MrMM and I went on a day trip to Queen Mary Falls – just east of Killarney, Queensland.  We drove through Warwick (where I lived for a year during childhood) and came back to Brisbane via Peaks Crossing and Boonah. The minute we left city and […]

(Note: All photo’s taken with my Android Samsung phone) I’m grateful for beautiful sunshine and a lovely morning at the Manly markets this morning! This morning when I woke up and saw sunshine I just knew I wanted to get out of the house and into the outdoors […]

Flashback Friday: 1976

Today I’m flashing back to 1976. In February 1976 the fifth and last child in our family was born.  My sister Jacqueline (known to us as Jackie).  She wasn’t planned, but was a lovely surprise!  If she had been a boy, she was going to be called Matthew.  […]

365 Grateful – Day 184

I’m grateful for a lovely Sunday afternoon spent with family having lunch followed by seeing Legally Blonde at the Lyric Theatre at the Queensland Performing Arts Centre (QPAC). I went with my mum, two sisters and my daughter and it was amazing!  I thoroughly enjoyed it! 🙂 The […]

365 Grateful – Day 182

I’m grateful for community art groups who collaborate, have visions, and create thought-provoking artworks to suit the environment on which they stand. The photograph above is part of ‘The Mudflat Sculpture’ constructed in the early 1990’s at Lota Camping Reserve, Lota.  Lota is a nearby suburb to me. […]
