It's becoming " all the same" again

Just for Big ears

Hey everyone, things have been hectic but getting back to normal slowly. We have tons of photos for you so lets get into it: This was taken on our way home from Brisbane. was looking at the view in the next pic and turned around to see the full moon in our tree, so snapped that as well.
You might have to click and enlarge some of these photos - there is a blanket of mist at the base of the hills, it was a gorgeous sunrise. I did a memorial garden for Damian's dad, it's a little corner with a special chair so Damian can go and have a beer and have some quiet time with his dad's memory. There is a picture of Denis on the fence and a bronze plaque has since been added underneath. There is a bird feeder on the fence and I planted some paw paw seeds in the pots by the shed as Denis loved these also. My friends Damian, Di and their kids came back from the Cape and spent a week in Cairns, so we got to catch up with them quite a bit during their visit which was just lovely. They have headed back down south now but it was fab to have them with us for a little while. Here Kylin has all but eaten Scotts punnett of tomatoes of which Scott salvaged - none! This is just a funny kid thing - Kylin loves this sign and tells me all about what's happening in the pictures - no grown up drink, he doesn't understand the cigarette one, then the black man does this and the black man does that, then you put on your big boy pants, hold mummys hand and walk the puppies. hahahahaha (you will have to click on the photo to enlarge it and see the detail) Craft morning, after making shaving cream pictures, we did pasting - he just loved all the dab dab dabbing with the paste brush. Daddy, Scott and Boo. Scott has sailed for about 3 months so we had him over for dinner before he left. He is so good with Kylin, he reads in silly voices, plays games and generally just gets kidnapped when he comes here. He doesn't seem to mind though. Kylin looooovvveeesss tomatoes, he will sit on Marisol's "wobbily chair" and if I let him go, will eat 4 or 5 tomatoes before I stop him. Which is why we started to grow our own, they got "blossom end rot" which somehow seems to have cleared up when I chopped all the leaves of the plants?? anyhow, they are going quite well now.......... As are our herbs, we now have basil, flat leaf parsley, thyme, rosemary, oregano, dill, and corriander. We have that much in fact that we are now supplying the local butcher with herbs for their sausages, rissoles and other yummy stuff. On fathers day, Damian and Kylin went out flying the kite, (you might have to click on these ones as well) with daddy's help, Kylin managed to run and get the kite in the air quite a bit. the kite has a hawk like design on it, and there were two hawks circling above us and came down quite close while the boys were playing with the kite.We were invited out to lunch at the hilton by Auntie Marie, who is the Auntie of our dear friend Sooz. We hadn't seen her for ages and it was so lovely to catch up with her. She had some of her friends there as well and although it was quite breezy down by the water, it was a perfect day with fantastic company. Today we had our end of season bowling lunch, and I got ANOTHER trophy!!! yayyyy Damian came to lunch with us and Kylin was very well behaved despite having to sit for a very long time. This is my team mate Karyn who is a complete ratbag although she looks relatively normal. :) Bowling wouldn't be half as much fun without her. So that 's it for the news, we hope you are all happy and well. It is 175 days until Big ears gets here - yayyyy - snot face is very excited. Look forward to hearing from you all. Love and hugs -Karen, Damian and Fluff magnet xoxoxo.
