terrible photo, unfortunately it is the only one taken last night at our small family gathering for Grandpa's birthday.

There is a new vehicle in the driveway now ....

Watch out everyone - here comes Grandpa !!

Mum decided to help me by cutting the shirts part, isn't she great?

Maybe the shirt quilts will be in progress earlier than I expected.

It's all good.

craft show entry

On Friday went to the city for the annual quilt show and craft fair.
Before the doors open they have an exercise session.
Hubby is in the wheelchair with the red bag hanging on the side whilst Dad is making faces at the small child in the stroller behind us in the line.
It was a nice day, am hoping we can do it again next year.

family time

had a picnic lunch at the local park - Coulthard reserve, this is mid winter but it was a sunny day.
This area is still in drought as the level of the lake will show.
Realise now have uploaded one picture twice - right clicking on it did not bring up the option to delete ...

The magpies were appreciative of the tidbits thrown their way.

Hubby had a nice time in the mens' shed playing the Inka drum that Trevor made.

Jeff played his accordion and together they played a rendition of Amazing Grace, I was just walking past the shed when I heard the music, wished I had a small tape recorder but at least my camera recorded the happening.

Been cutting some charms for group swaps - Boys I spy prints, next month is for girls and some fabrics with metallic prints.

Today I had the great priviledge of speaking at the opening of the extensions to Carers' Link - Barossa Valley and districts.

I used a bucket and a cup to illustrate my talk.

Trevor joined us for the occasion too, everyone was pleased to see him as it is now 17 months that he has been confined to bed with the only time he is up, being for the evening meal.

Hubby was there as well as my dad. Hubby is obscured by the bucket in the photo, dad is near the side fence in one photo.

No idea of the actual number of people there, probably be mentioned in next week's newspaper article.

Patch

This is Patch, the 4 legged member of our family, and by the way Trevor always tells people that he *hates* cats ... yeah right Trev!

Hmmm.... the more I post on the blog I realise how much I still have to learn ...
like the order to post photos - seems one needs to post the last ones first in order for them to come out chronilogically ... so if you want to see our day out best scroll to the end of the post first.

After lunch and a bit of shopping it was on to the Central Market for some nice fresh food for the Easter weekend, saw a mural which we had never seen before.

On to lunch with terrific Sharon, we played pass the camera - I took her photos which she dislikes, then she took ours and we don't like them either!!

Somehow we don't photograph as well as we think we look, ;-))

Had an eye specialist appointment today in the city.

Lots of the older homes have been converted to specialist's rooms.

Adelaide is ringed with parklands and immediattely opposite where we were today are some of the parlands, behind this area is the Adelaide Oval, the light towers might be visible in the photo, and Memorial Drive, the tennis venue.
