Subject: Australia Day.

Hi. Last Friday 26th of Jan was Australia Day.. and a public holiday. My daughter and son-inlaw had a barbeque at their house to clebrate.It was really nice, family and friends. David.son-in law, barbequed lots of meat, there were salads and nibbles, and my sweet d-in law, youngest son's wife, made delicious strawberry shortcake for dessert, but the best thing was all being together. Isn't that so? Your family and your friends are the dearest things in the world.
Weather is now cooler, but unfortunately to get hot again next week.Oh, dear.. still Feb is our last month of summer, and altho March can be pretty warm, at least you know the end is in sight( of the devastatingly hot weather I mean!)
Phyliss..Happy Belated Birthday.. sorry that you are having immobility problems.
My writing groups are about to start again.YAY! I miss them all a lot during the 2 month break.
Also I start back at work again tomorrow.. not sure what my job description will be whether I'll still be the community garden supervisor, or whether my Boss will drum something else for me!
The cats.. well, when it's so very hot, the ginger boy Feller, spends all day outside, I think he finds a shady bush somewhere and sleeps the day away.. the grey girl,Grania, stays in and sprawls in front of the fan. One day I didn't have it on, because it was only warm rather than HOT.. and she kept looking pointedly at it, then at me, as if to say 'OkaaaaY! Where's the cool air!"
She has very thick fur, so the heat is a trial for her.
Have a good week.
Ellie.

Ellie so nice to hear of your great feast on Australia day and yes you are right, the most important thing is being together with family. Every once in a while I go through the many family photo albums that I have and I can relive the warmth of the family gatherings or rember the cute rosie baby cheeks I used to kiss, be it child or grandchild.
It will be nice both getting back to work and to you writing group.So nice to be around other people when you are doing what you enjoy. Today my daughter cynthia and I are going on a bubble gum run, I think I told you she has bubble gum machines around the province and has to unlock the bottoms..give the money,half to store owners and half to herself and put fresh bubble gum in the top half of the machines.We are doing my favorite area today, the valley run.One side of the valley is mountain but it will most likely be snow on the mountain road and there are no stores up the mountain but usually if the road is bare we drive up for the scenery.So nice to look down over the valley.Today is Tuesday,on Thursday they are forcasting snow, Wednesday we will have been married 54 years.I don't even feel 54 years old even after all I went through cancer wise.I really went through the photo albums over the week-end rembering old times and old friends,many of the friends and relatives who are no longer with us.Well they are certainly with us in memory and the years have been great and have gone past so fast.
Well here I am turning this into a novel and most likely boring the heck out of you so I better say bye for now.Do the things you hate most-first and the rest of the day enjoy!!!
