Diamond ring

Today I picked up a redesigned ring made from Mother's engagement ring and dress ring. It is beautiful. I had it remade, as her rings were so thin and unwearable as they were. It is lovely to see it on my finger and know she would appreciate it as well.

Autumn

Autumn must be the best time of the year. The trees are beginning to change colour. The weather is perfect - around 20 - 30 degrees in the day time and lovely and cool if not cold at night. Oh how we wish for rain though!!
Autumn brings with it some work - cleaning the garden - pruning etc.

Tuscany

I watched "Under the Tuscan Sun"the other night on television. It does whet the appetite so.

Curvy

I have started to go to Curves to improve my health. Must say I don't really enjoy it much but I feel I have to start somewhere. Going back to golf in April

House painting

Just to get back in the swing of blogging.
We have started to paint the outside of the house. So far Tony has painted the front carport and the side one. The woodwork around the front entrance and the front door is done and I am getting the wrought iron underway. I can't say it is going very quickly - I do loose interest on a regular basis.

From Primary to Secondary

Eve graduated from Primary school today. Fancy going into Secondary in 2009. Where does the time go?

At long last

Wow! I have not posted anything to this blog for so long I had to relearn how to do it.
Mother has had her angioplasty and came through it reasonably well considering her age. She is definitely failing - which is only expected at 92.
While we were in Perth, or rather Margaret River in Western Australia, Mother kept very well thank goodness.
I will post some photos of Matthew and Bronwen's wedding. The wedding was just lovely and was held under a pergola overlooking extensive lawns and gardens. The weather was fabulous, not too hot, not too cold.
Had a lunch with the old New Yorkers ladies today. This will be the only Christmas function I will be attending this year.

I've tried to get rid of the photo of Matt and Bron with the marriage celebrant without success. It is not very flattering.
