Men's Hearts Shall Fail Them

Landfill Gas and Power

Yesterday we went to their Christmas Party which was held in a Park....oh thank goodness it was cooler..
It was a lovely barbecue with yummy salads...food always tastes better when you don't have to make it.
We, all the workers get a wonderful bucket or box of goodies usually full of chocolates and biscuits...hard to resist stuff  ....... Tony has subcontracted to this Company for 20 years plus...but I did wonder yesterday if this was the last Christmas Party we would go to as he gets very little work from them now..they have exhausted all the methane off the Rubbish Tips around Perth for now.....but we will see..hope he can still get some work from them...Anyway as much as we tried to remain strong and resist we did indulge a little of the forbidden stuff !!!!
All the Ladies got a voucher of $30 for the Body Shop and there was also a $30 voucher for Bunnings..I still have last years so I now have $70 vouchers for Bunnings which will go down nicely for some paint....they draw a raffle and this year WE WON  $200 voucher for the Good Guys.....I was sooooo excited, although I did try to give it to someone else...as I feel we are so blessed and these other people could use it more then us...but they absolutely refused...so now my mind is racing.... oh what can I get......I will have a good look around...OH I DO LOVE SHOPPING !!! sad hey !
It was a good day all and all.
Came home and ironed for an hour and that felt good to when I finished..

Oh Yes Sione's

Sione's little reveal was that he slept with his Mother until he was 16....he said there was this big log and we only had one room....now let me elaborate on his little tale....which was lovely.
The big log was THEIR PILLOW   ...His Father was out fishing each night......if he didn't catch anything they the family went hungry he said that there were many hungry days.......Sione is very close with His Mum.....it's a very sweet relationship....Sione's Mother still has a log for a pillow and still prefers to sleep on the floor.

Pot Luck Dinner

I went to a Church Dinner Party last night...Tony had gone to Port Hedland and was on his way home....I generally don't like going to things like that by my self but I went and did enjoy my self...we played a little game where some people were selected to tell something about themselves that no one else might know about them...it was a fun game..and some interesting little bits came out...like my two friends who cheekily wrap up parcels with leaves or grass or anything that obscure in them.....then put a really pretty wrapping around it and place it somewhere obvious then hide and see the reactions of people who think that they have stumbled on something wonderful.........ohwah!!!!!  Honor and Sylvia two little cheeky old girls.
I dobbed my Tony in and told them that no one knew this about him....come to think about it not even his children know....maybe the older ones....but Tony can pilot a light plane !!!   I gave him Flying Lessons as a Birthday Present many years ago now...... he never completed all the mandatory Flying hours due to work pressures....Maybe he should take it up again.....but I bet each Flying Lesson is so expensive now..... I told ya he is marvelous...he can put his hand to almost everything.....I asked him last week actually...if we were in an emergency situation could you take over from a pilot and land the plane....he said the hardest part of flying is taking off and landing...... up in the air is pretty easy but yes with some help he probably could....well probably is better then no......

America Celebrate Thanksgiving...my wish is that we all would celebrate that and make a big thing of it.....

What a different world we would live in if we all were GRATEFUL for the MANY BLESSINGS Our Heavenly Father has given us.

It's funny how those of us who have much ....complain...but those that have so little don't and share more easily.

My Son in Laws Family in Tonga have so little and share all that they have....

That is my wish for this Christmas ...... is that we give of ourselves and be grateful for what we do have.

For me it is My Faith, My Husband, My darling Family, My wonderful Friends....who I hold so dear.My health.

My Camera hahaha... my home ..The Nature Reserve across the road and all that is in there...except the drunk a few days ago ......

..oh that is a bit harsh..but drugs and drunkeness frighten me....hope he to finds peace and love ...

If I do all that I can do within the bounds of my home..I am contributing to a better world..thats my theory anyway.

The food we have particularly the strawberries I'm eating this morning

My comfortable bed oh yes our Car...our Christmas decorations which fill our home with the Spirit of Christmas.

For shelter for food...for all I have.

My First Red Hatter's Outing

Oh No she has become a Red Hatter.....No, I'm not ready yet...but I did go out with them tonight....so I thought I would get into the spirit of it...and made this with cardboard and a scarfe the cardboard was meant to be in a heart shape and the red band was from a trip that I did with the Dianella Y.W. to Sydney to attend the Temple...... We visited the snow and I bought the band there.

What a great bunch of women...I think it is wonderful what they do..... So many excellent outings, I think they cheer the soul and enliven the heart....good on ya !!! I might just start looking out for a purple outfit and of course the obligatory Red Hat......maybe I could get away with the tiniest little red bow !!!! thats just in case though.....p.s. these photo's were taken by me...just in case you were wondering...

Oh by the way Christmas is up all except the Tree...love it !!

Another Brag

When Jacob was a little boy....I bought him a pair of running shoes, I told him they were MAGIC..... and he REALLY believed me..... I told him that he could run the fastest with these shoes.......when he started Kindy...he always wanted to wear his magic shoes which caused Vanessa a little problem at times..... Actually he wanted to wear these shoes wherever he went!!!
Well he is nine in a few days...and last week he was in the Inters Sport Carnival and he was the Champion Boy of all the Schools..... You see Magic Running shoes really do work.....Must do the same for all the little ones coming up....not sure it would help Maya but, her talents lie elsewhere.
Now Rhys who goes to Mazenod Boys School which I happen to feel is a REALLY great school for boys, Went in a Inter School Basketball  Sport Day and he won Most Valued Player of the DAY.....that was pretty big as well......
When all is said and done though....it doesn't matter what they do or achieve as long as they do their best and it is honorable.....they have won their Grandma's Heart and Papa's as well.

Halloween Night 2011

Have more photo's to come will write later..... A few days later I am still waiting for the photo's, as I forgot to take them when the Oggs came...oh well !!! Naomi said that Halloween is really big over in the U.S.A.....I personally am not really into it......I believe my Family went to someones house and had a great time....I believe there was a tunnel of terror   ...oh Horror !!!! all in good fun..
A few years ago we had some little children come here with a parent trick or treat ...hoping for some goodies which lucky we had but last year....I had nothing not a lolly in sight...... didn't even know it was THAT night...the knock on the door came I could see who they were...I felt so terrible as I had nothing to give them that Tony and I hid....ohwah !!!!! I just couldn't tell those little ones.... sorry I haven't got anything.........The missing photos were of....
Little Lacey came as a Princess with a wand, which she was banging people on the head with...that was a special wish !!!! I guess..... Kobes was a skeleton...and Sharli was a little Cow...a very cute little Cow that made a noise from the snout when it was pressed....
