Still Celebrating.

Post 601 ~ ~ ~ Tuesday, 26th May, 2009.

Hello My Friends ~ ~ I hope the world has been treating you all well. I seem to be getting very spoilt and taken care of and am really beginning to like it.

My 'little' brother Peter has his birthday on Thursday, the 28th. I hope you have a great day Peter and enjoy every minute. Please pop over and wish him a Happy Birthday.

It all started on Sunday when John arrived to take me for our Lunch with Geoff and Jo and we were sitting talking, a few minutes, and the doorbell rang, that I hadn't seen anyone
arrive, John said "It's some strange lady." AND it was his daughter Rebecca who flew in
from Brisbane Saturday for a week. Did I ever get a surprise??? Bec was my right hand 'man' for years until she moved to Queensland, taking me shopping weekly and to Drs
etc etc. She has been gone almost 5 years, and this is her third trip back to Shepparton.

Meanwhile, my daughter Kathy rang to say she and her three daughters were coming for
a couple of nights. So that was another big surprise. Kathy brought me a lovely digital
Photo Frame, So Kristen and Kate worked out how to load photos and then taught me.
Also, of course Jo and Geoff and son Scott came to the Luncheon which was lovely, and
it was great to have them although they had to leave early after lunch. They brougt me a beautiful hanging basket with a tallish fern in with a large Zygo Cactus. I love it and will take
some photos for next time I post. John took a couple of photos at the Lunch, but hasn't sent them yet, so they are the only ones with Jo and Geoff and Scott in them. Here are some others.


This is my eldest, John and youngest, Kathy and me.

A couple of Kathy and me, Monday and on Tuesday.

Yesterday, All the girls took me shopping and spent a nice time looking around as we fought a wide edged toaster to cook thick Cafe Raison loaf slices in. and that works well.
Then we bought a tall standerd Light for me to see the computer while I type. And then I
bought a new camera as my old one was heavy compared to the new one and has a much bigger view of photos. The old one was very hard on batteries.
Scott, my grandson brought me a lovely dragonfly that goes in the garden and glows at
the end of the day. Kathy also brought me a large bunch of a huge Lily of some sort.
Kathy and the girls left about 11 am this morning. It was so good to see them as usual.

Thank you all so much for your comments and birthday wishes and I will get around to
replying to you all soon. i am tired tonight so will cut this short.
Last night Kathy cooked tea for us and tonight John, Bec and I went out for tea again.
Bec only has a few more days before she leaves on Saturday.
So you can see it has been very busy, but very exciting. My love to you all,
Cheers , Merle.
