New Post

Well it has been a while since I posted so thought I better get to it.

Not too much going on up here but here are a few things worth mentioning.

Firstly a very good friend of mine Narelle & her boys were on a Cruise up the coast & they had a full day stop over in Cairns, so of course I drove up to spend the day with them.

The weather was absolutely perfect. The ship docked at Yorkey's Knob north of Cairns. It was a fair way out & they came in on the Tenders.

Relle & the boys

We caught a coach into Cairns & the boys went their separate ways & Relle & I spent the day window shopping & sight seeing.

 It was really great to catch up with her again - hopefully it wont be so long next time!

My birthday was coming up & I didn't have anything planned as Dave would be away at work, but that all changed rather quickly with a visit from our eldest Daughter Bec & our Grandaughter Ruby on the 4th July.

We went to the Innisfail Show - not the best weather for it:

Ruby's first show ride.

Then Shantelle drove up from Charters Towers on the 12th Just in time for Ruby's 1st Birthday on the 13th & my --th on the 14th!

Auntie Shazzy brought some bubbles which Ruby loved:

Ruby's 1st Birthday was a big day:

Presents to start with of course:

Then it was off to the park for a picnic lunch & feed the Ducks & Geese:

Then back home for more Bubbles & Cake

Then on my birthday it was another park for Ruby to play in:

We had a lovely lunch at a local pub & then Shantelle had a long drive home - it was so great to see her & I know she loved seeing Ruby & Bec.

On Monday Bec, Ruby & I drove to Cairns to pick Dave up.

Time for Poppy to spend time with Ruby.

Then Ruby got to open our presents:

Cheeky Monkey!

She just melted Poppy - he even let her on John!

Well Dave has gone back to work & Bec & Ruby have gone home to W.A. It is very quiet in the house now. We had a wonderful couple of weeks.

Well that's all for now guys, hope you are all travelling & enjoying yourselves.
