Kate Finds Her Happy Place

Adam purchased his new car topper camping tent and it only took one try for Kate to proclaim it good.

Farmers' Market

We wandered down to the Farmers' Market that is held monthly in the Council grounds.  It has become quite an event with all sorts of stores and produce available.  Next month we intend to be better prepared with plenty of shopping bags and cash.  On this occasion we came away with a few samples,  local honey, fresh apples and a couple of varieties of exotic spuds.  It is certainly an event worth attending.

The Prodigals Return

Brett and Cathy had a dinner last night to celebrate the return of all three families to home base.  The dinner was a spectacular pork roast and we also managed to demolish 3 bottles of fantastic red wine along the way.  A great night and very happy to see everyone again.

Morning Musings

The morning walk is currently a very rewarding experience with the new growth of spring and the intense morning light.

Yosemite

One thing the Americans seem to do well is National Parks.  Adam, Kate and the family are visiting Yosemite and the scenery looks spectacular.

Here We Go

We were away for an hour or two this morning and returned to the first signs that things are going to happen on the location of the old house.

Holly Gets into the Gallery

The holiday period delayed us getting Holly's portrait for Granny's Gallery however we managed to get it today.

Dinner in the Car Park

It was interesting to see a pop up food event in the car park of the local shopping centre.  Over four nights, a variety of food vans offered a range of evening meals to patrons.  The weather was kind and it made for a great way to occupy a Saturday evening and catch up with the locals (Brett, Cathy and the Walsh family).

 However, we did give the jumping castle a miss.

Contract Signed

It has been just short of 20 months in the making but we have finally signed the contract to see the build of our new house.

Where Are they All?

It has been a little strange of late to have the family distributed over the globe. Adam and Lisa's family in the US and Brett's family over in Western Australia.  It lead to some quiet contemplation.
