Graduation - I savoured the moment!

Tuesday night I had the thrill of going to my graduation for my Bachelor of Adult Education and Training. It was fun to done the gown and board and sit with all the other graduates. Sometimes study can be a long haul when you are trying to meet the deadlines of assignments but overall it is a great experience and I enjoyed the learning.

It was great that Eryn and Emma could come. John and Eil and Kara and Will also were there and the rest of the family were there in spirit.

I did enjoy the pagentry and tradition of the ceremony and I definitely tried to savour the moment. It will probably never happen again - it is amazing it happened at all.

I might get a reputation as a foodie!

We enjoyed a great social evening with Sue & Reg Amos at their new home at Versdale last night. We ate a delicious meal while enjoying the sunset from their deck. It was a lot of fun.

Sisters are a treasure

I enjoyed a great meal and night out with my sisters on Thursday night. We went to a restuarant on the boardwalk at the Eagle Street Pier called Jellyfish. The food was amazing the and company was great. When the four of us get together the wisdom is amazing - of course I am not biased.!!

Young Women Hike

Sister Wilson, Sister Hardy and I took the Young Women on a hike up to the rocks in Karawatha Forest. The day was showery and we were not sure how the weather would behave. Prayers were answered and it was mild enough to still enjoy ourselves. The showers were heavier in the afternoon and our hike was over. We walked to the rocks and the girls wrote their committment to live a virteous life on a piece of paper which we put into a gold tin and buried under a rock. (a bit like the gold plates!) We had a fun time - ate pancakes and strawberries. It was well worth braving the showers.

Lota for Fish and Chips

Last Friday we had a family lunch at Lota. The fish and chips and calamari from Barts is very delicious. The grandchildren enjoyed the playground and the mud flats!!

Italian Lunch

On Sunday we went to lunch at Pam's for an Italian Lunch. We had a great time catching up everyone. We sat on Pam's verandah and enjoy a very delicious meal. Yummy.
