The Governor's Chair

We went for a drive today out through Boonah then on to Spicer's Gap. There were even a few little walks I could manage. We went to the lookout at Governor's Chair. We then went on another little walk to Moss's Well - the bellbirds were so loud. I have never heard them so loud and close. There were a lot of bellbirds and we could see them in the trees. It was a beautiful warm day. A lot of fun.

A Medieval Festival




Last Tuesday we took Emma Sarah and Ethan to Caboolure and met up with Leah, Eryn, Lachlan, Morgan and Addison for a Kids day out at the Medieval Festival. It was well laid out and we all enjoyed many varied activities. One of the favourites was the stilt walking - I think most of the children went back for 4 goes! We enjoyed the atmosphere with many of the officials dressed up in period costume. Lachlan and Ethan went to josting school! and the girls learnt some gypsy dancing.

It was a fun day out.

It is our Wedding Anniversary today!



We have been married 38 years today. The 8th July 1972 seems a long time ago. We were young and beautiful and full of love and expectations for our future. We have not been disappointed. There have been the high roads and the low roads but they have evened out pretty good! We have done some very interesting things, raised amazing kids who are better and smarter than us and they have given us so far 10'grand'children who we enjoy tremendously. Considering the events of the last 10 months every milestone is worth celebrating!!

Today we set off to Southbank and did a bit of walking into the city and then decided to have lunch on the river cruise boat the Kookaburra Queen. It was a leisurely day. Very enjoyable.
