Wishing you all a safe and Happy New Year. I hope 2013 brings good things your way.  

Wishing everyone  a very Merry Christmas and a safe and Happy New Year 2011

My goodness how fast the past two months have flown!

Baby Siena arrived on the 20th May (3 days before Grammy).

I am now back in Adelaide, having spent just over a month with my new grand-daughter, her mummy Jenni and Daddy Josh.  I had a wonderful (sometimes exhausting) time being Alice from the Brady Bunch... preparing meals, doing the laundry, holding the baby..and disappearing when I thought they needed space. LOL!

Even made my tv debut on Seattle television:  www.kirotv.com/video/23792199/index.html

Also met up with 15 Red Hatters at Ivars restaurant on the Seattle waterfront. How special it was to meet and hug my QMB,QMB2 and FB Gal Pals in person.  

In a few days I will be flying Up Yonder over The Pacific to Seattle. Lil Pookette is due soon. It's a race now to see who arrives first. Grammy or Lil Pookette?

My how time has flown. 

I have my airline ticket..only 8 weeks to go now until Grammy arrives in Seattle .

YAY!
