Good evening all. It will soon be 3:00am here and I should be off to bed soon but wanted to pop on and say hello.

Hello Brian and Westie. I have to admit the cookies are going fast even after I stuck them in the freezer hoping that "out of sight out of mind" would keep George's (and mine too just to be honest WHIST ) sticky fingers out of them... There are still a few left in reserve for you both though. :)

Looking forward to your visit to OZ Pet whenever it comes... and Joy, I hope some day we get to meet you too. Who knows... One of these days we may all show up for one of Geoffs spiritual meetings. I'll bring some snacks... :D
Well I'm getting fuzzy and better get ready for bed. Good night dear friends...
Love,
Sandy
Could be another dust storm tomorrow. This time my windows will be tightly shut! :thumright:

Isn't that the truth! :? I can be typing away in my rather slow mistake laden style and I keep getting this nudge :?: ...Is it a CelestiaL..Here to help with the task at hand?...NOPE! My dern sweet tooth saying "cookie!"..."cookie"..."cookie!"... :roll: Finally in a fit of, let's just call it like it is..."weakness", I give in and gather not one..not two, but three of the contrabaned goodies ..as quietly as I can, of course, so as not to disturb George ! I'm very thoughtful that way! :wink: :oops: )

Been a good day so far, Brian...no red dust... just high winds... cookies are safe...or are they? :twisted:
Hugs,
Sandy

Oh we saw one of those at the coffee shop in Corlette when we were house sitting for Geoff. It was George's Birthday and I was secretly hoping he'd pick that one... Well he picked a regular old mud cake ..but I am certainly not going to complain. It was delicious! :bana: I tried walking off the many pieces I had but would have had to walked to Sydney and back to accomplish that feat. As it is...the cake still lives with me... sigh :roll:

Hope you are feeling better...Light...Kids are the best medicine aren't they? :bounce:

Yeah...Pet, potato crisps are good as well! :wink: Sweet and salty go good together...I used to love chocolate covered pretzels... One of these days I am gonna let all that stuff go! ...yep...one of these days...

Hiya Star...how was your first week of work? Are you beginning to assimilate all the new information thrown at you?... It's no wonder you crashed on your couch, sweetie. Been a very full week... :kiss:
Snooze on! Image

Good for you Star and hello Westie

How well you look after yourself by resting, it's important. I love sleep as well, I love most of my dreams and to visit the people who I only know in my dreams :scratch: Well I hope someone got that. :lol:

Ever since I was a little girl I have a whole life when I sleep it's like "HELLO IT"S BEEN SUCH A LONG TIME" :shock: I know it sounds weird but I really live another life in my dreams at times, not every dream but at least twice a month we all catch up. I also dream people's passing, like my father's I don't like that so called Gift it's awful knowing these things at times :cry:

Anyway on a lighter note I am a salty person also YUM nachos emmmm 8) nothing like a sneeky plate when the house is sleeping :oops: My place is like yours Petra NOTHING gets left and sometimes I look at Harry and that Buddah belly and say did you actually eat all the choclate? :sword:

He looks at me like a naugthy child and will say someting like "OH I thought you'd had some" :geek: yer right when it was not even opened yet :lol:

And my twin lion cubs I don't stand a chance so I buy the new low fat creamy strawberry yogurts thick and with real strawberries in them, I tell them all they are so healthy YEH it works they don't touch them, I'm doomed if they do :roll: they are delicious..

Last night Harry and I went to the long AGM and decided to have a seafood Laksa YUMMY living in a backpacker pit stop suburb does have it's benefits like really cheap good food, it only cost $9 each :mrgreen:

Yummy Yummy so Sandy tomorrow we meet how EXCITING!!! :bike: :kiss: :bike: :kiss: I am so hoping Lily can make it also. Hint Hint Lil!!!

I was so into going to Geoffs but no registered car and a gale force wind at 5.30 pm made it impossible so next meeting we're in, I might bring Nachos?????

OH Light I would love for you to be here I know finally you can talk to someone who understands what your saying when you talk about Christ Conciseness, sometimes I have no idea what my sister is saying :farao: her world :alien: my world Gosh I'm belly laughing :lol:

Better go I've been to Grandparents day this morning at Aydens school there he was looking directly into my eyes singing "You are my Sunshine" no front theeth and full of love for his Nanny :love Good Day Hey??

Better go jobs to do and Billy is bouncing off the walls on Steroids with his Asthma bloody red dust got him :geek: :bounce: he slept with me last night Bless him and wanted a stroky arm from Mummy with his blessed soft empty horse (he tore out the inside when he was about 3) toy named Brownie.

Yep, I'm tired today :baby but it was wonderful to have my baby back at 13 and a half for even one evening love you all Gypsie :kiss: :hithere

Hi Gypsie,
I'm definitely coming with you....tomorrow!!!! :D It will be so nice!! Hope Billy's feeling better today!! I couldn't believe what a coincidence it is that you were saying that to Harry about the chocolate....I was saying the same thing to my better half.....when he bought a great big Whittakers Chocolate and another large one with nuts in it. :shock: I looked at his stomach... :lol: :lol: as well. He said...."Why did you look at my stomach when I picked up the chocolate" :x It's hilarious!!! We have a lot in common!! :D :D :D See you tomorrow at 9am.
Love lilly xoxox :lol: :lol: :lol:

Guys! I'm sooo envious. Photies please! Gypsie, don't you dare say you're camera/phone isn't working either!
I tell them all they are so healthy YEH it works they don't touch them, I'm doomed if they do they are delicious..
Hahahahahaha! Good one! I never thought of that. Mind you, Mathilda is a bit of a health nut, (faithfully takes her omega 369 each day, and swears it keeps her brainy! She's sailing leader in her class and gets to pick her crew. She's so fair! e.g: "Erm, not you today, you were mean to the little one's at break!")
Thalia will eat cuurrraaappp all day if she could get away with it. And wouldn't you know it? they've opened a bloody Willy Wonka style sweety shop in the high street....the school queues are phenomenal!

Well Guys, I was doing a conscious healing all morning, (felt dizzy after a while, I'm not an expert but I know I can do it through the Celestials). I was telling sammy about it: there were these orbs and sparkling lights going into the screen...it was really cool. Anyway, I'm feeling much better now, so either sammy sent me energy, or someOne else did 'cause it happened almost straight after I told sammy, hehe!

I'm off to make a gooey sponge cake with son Manfredo (friend of Man, apparently) and have it for tea with thick custard, ohh yeeaahh! That's the limit for me with sweet stuff! I looove cake & custard!

Take care my lovely 11:11 Family, love you all very much

Hello family...

Well we did it! Lilly ,Gypsie, George and I all met and had the most wonderful day together, chatting about what ever came to mind.... Those two ladies are very special. Each gifted in the most wonderful ways... :happy I was priviledged to get a glimpse of Lilly's paintings...and to hear her sing....Oh my... her voice is one in a million! I mean it...Wow!!!! very powerful! and Gyspie ... She has the hands of a healer. She was showing me a few places to bring healing and health to my body and ..well ... I am easily confused :) ...so she was hands on showing me when she noticed a problem in my shoulder that I have been harboring for a few weeks.. She worked on it with the help of her celestial guide and it feels 100 percent better! :cheers: Thanks sis! :kiss:

So I am hoping that this is the first of many get togethers with our Sydney sisters.. :sunflower: I look forward to the day when I get to see all my elevener family face to face... but until then we will send our love through the "spirit waves." (pretty effective really... :wink: )

Enjoy your cake Pet and even better, your one on one time with Manny. I was showing Gypsie and Lilly his adorable pic today. You know the one where he is holding the chicken... and the drawing and painting on the wall that "The kids" gave George and I. They are are at the top of my priceless possession list... :D Yep we have a fire or high water ..bugger the books and cds I've got the bird and the photies... :thumright:

Have a lovely day or evening everybody! :hithere
Love and {{{{HUGS}}}}

OH what a wonderful day at Sandy and George's house :cheers: Sandy is the best cook on the planet, Harry left for a night shift shoving Sandy's cake into his mouth :lol:

Light will have a laugh about the shoulder healing, I had a frozen shoulder for a few years so I marched off to do a Diploma in massage many, many years ago. Sandy I know how painful a frozen shoulder can be yet simple streches and pressure points can move the frozen energy. I decided to fix mine when I found myself bruised by crunching my Rhomboids on a doornob :meds: Gosh it can hurt, so healing to Sandy's shoulder :kiss:

Lily's voice is amazing I mean raunchy and sexy with a deep blues beat, George's toes were a tapping. Thank you both so much for the amazing food and wonderful company, I laughed to myself at one point as we were all talking at once :bounce: EXCITED!!!!

Lily it was such a joy to drive down with you even if I did say a few rude words to the GPS :oops:

I am tired now so will log off but if any of you can get to meet GO FOR IT!!!!

George and Sandy your home is in paradise looking out over the water was beautiful and lacy the bird demanding her share of lunch from the table LOL PLEASE :salut: she is so smart and knows if she's being tricked, I can understand why she wanted food from the table it was delicious LUV2 that is how she looked down at us....

Love you all so much and thanks for the day Lily, Sandy and George :kiss: Love Gypsy xxxxxxx

hello everyone

things have been going well at work this week, although i must admit a little too much to process at times, but i haven't been feeling myself this week. I have been a bit quiet and as cold as if i was on the northpole.
I'm freezing all the time, i can't seem to rug up enough, and it's spring. i'm such a wimp. And i'm sneezy and stressed. Information overload!!!! i locked myself in the toilet at work and couldn't get out for like twenty minutes, ancient locks on the door. I lost it for a second :lol: in my head i had an imagined scenario of the fire brigade coming to rescue the stupid girl who can't operate a lock.

Now i'm at home and feel sick because i ate too much pizza. They put seven kinds of meat on it!! Ugh no more

Darling Star I am sending you some work ebergy, we need to get work fit as my beautiful Yoga teacher tells me LO I did not listen to her and well we all know I ended up in Hospital..
I went on a real low last night even cried laying on the lounge as the day was so magical with Sandy, George, Lily, Lacy and myself. I was watching that show on lost teenagers and the girl who went to Ireland came home put herself in a strict Catholic school (she said because she needed that personally) and then her host family's eldest daugther gave her a surprise visit from Ireland. I started bawling I wished I had those chances when I was that age as I was allone in the world at 16 :cry:

Light had organised a 16th party at her house and none of my so called girlfriends came the pub was more important, I went into a public phone box and bawled my eyes out, then one of the groug (the nice one) came walking past with her parents she indicated if I was ok I just turned my back in shamw, because there was no one on the line.

Dad was in Jail and Mum had a new boyfriend Light had a baby I think that moment I decided 'WHAT THE #*+@ and took myself to dark places.

OK I feel better now just needed to share the story, even though I'm crying now, I left Sandy's wishing my mother and father were like them even though Sandy is younger and TINY!!!!

Now I am worried about PP I mean really worried a voice came to my ear last night and whispered CALL HER I jumped out of bed it was 333 :shock: maybe we can all PM her or send massive healing? I am not sure what to do so I leave this open for discussion KNOK someone must be able to reach her I will PM Laura as well...

Ok my lovlies must get on with house work :roll: that can get you down I think when you have 2 teenage boys and a husband who works long long hours :bike: Harry is always off working....

Hello my dear friends,,, :hithere

I'm so sorry :sorry: I haven't really been in touch.....yes,,,I'm here,,,I've been lurking,,,but just didn't have it in me to answer...or to ask for help. :oops:

don't know if I told you guys this anywhere,,,but I actually gave myself 'whiplash' by jumping out to a floatie on the lake.... :?

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: it's funny now ! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I seem to remember telling someone that I tried to let out the 'inner child', but the ole lady forgot the 'child' wasn't in the physical....

I spent alot of time....just laying down.....heat bags.....pain pills.... :meds:

couldn't even do reiki for myself.....just did alot of talking to our parents, because I had been such an idiot....

went through some depression with hubby being away and NOT looking forward to another winter alone and trying to keep my feelins hidden so he wouldn't worry.....

only he 'caught me',,,,,

one weekend we were down at the lake, cutting down those alder trees :sword: the next morning I couldn't walk (for about an hr),,,then only with a cane :pale: spent the next 3 days as a couch potatoe :x

then I went through a couple of weeks of just 'laying' there, sooo tired it was ridiculous,,,,so I just layed there....

a friend came out to see me and stayed over with me,,,and took care of me.....I thought she was coming over to help her with a problem (at least I could still talk),,,,and talk we did....then as I got better I realized that she came out to take care of me.....what a blessing.....and what a sweet heart she is. :happy ...I'm very very grateful....

I'd pop onto this thread a couple of times,,,,and there seemed to be another 'lull',,,, then today I read the last couple of pages and WOW, but all the news just picked me right up.....and I've been feeling quite abit stronger the past couple of days....

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU....sweet Debs, Lilly, Sandy and everyone.... LUV2 :kiss: :kiss:

and hello to Sammy (I must have been away too long),,,,and to all the new (to me) secret coffee shop visitors......argh,,,I missed out on those cookies..serves me right!!!!

and HI STAR!!!,,,,so glad to hear you're on your feet again too...

I have answered a few threads,,,,but honestly for the most part, it seemed like my heart was missing,,,,so I figured it best to say nothing,,,,just send prayers....

yet, you know,,,even with all the 'down' time and negativity that's really been hot and heavy lately.....there's also been alot of positive stuff going on too...

Hubs came home,,,,and quit the big 'corporate' job.....it was just 'done', :cheers:
he made the decision,,,,and I backed him on it....

Time for us to move forward with Tranquility Base,,,,together,,,,
Time to smell some roses (like the one(pic) I sent you Gypsie)

and especially, time for him to start to enjoy life,,, not live in stress


It was sooooo good to hear you guys finally had a meet up....George, Sandy, Gypsie and Lilly....

I can imagine how wonderful it was having talked with each of you on the phone,,,,I can imagine,,,,since I know how wonderful it was to have Laura come up here and stay a couple of weeks....now they want to come up together but now have to get official passports,,,,honest to Pete....next thing you know we'll need passports just to go into another province or state....

It's been a crazy summer,,,,,up down, up down,,,,what happened to sideways???? or smooth sailing????

Guess it's just the 'wild ride' we're on....

well, guys,,,,my hands are stiffening up and don't want to type anymore,

so I'll stop for now,,,and send my love to everyone :loves

I'm sorry if I didn't answer emails or pm's. (I think I missed a few)...
I just kind of 'wasn't here'.....but I am now....just have to limit this typing thing or my neck hurts....and hands go numb....you should see the corrections I have to make....

:kiss:

Hi All,
This is my first post on this thread. And I'm sorry as I can be that I missed out on those cookies! :? I don't get it, I'm usually first in line for sweets... :lol: Hey do you serve extra Green Tea here?
PP, we haven't been properly introduced, I'm John, at least that is what the Father say's I sould be called. After reading your post, introduced or not, I couldn't just lurk on by without offering you a great big (((((((((HEALING HUG)))))))))). I too suffer with neck pain. Everything you've described, believe me, I Know! Glad to know you are feeling better.

Love,
John
Love All...

You worried me PP! I thought something was amiss, felt it quite heavily too; not just the whiplash, but depression?? Glad to see your smiling face again.
Hey Lilly, I knew you could sing, from fb!
Got up twice....with a great reception from the audience...woo hoo.... It's starting to happen for me!!
I'm so chuffed for you!
Did anyone take some photies of the visit? Well, it'll be Geoff's next, eh? I'm hoping to meet Gypsie and Light if/when they visit the UK! I mean, those two in the same continent as me.....where's the next plane outta here? hahahaha!
Sandy, that cake and custard went in a blink of an eye. It was good to see everyone enjoy it. You still have those pics? Well, about time I sent more recent photos and drawings. Mathilda's already drawing her Christmas cards for her 'special people'!

{{{Star}}} Locked in the loo for that amount of time? I get claustraphobic, so I reckon I'd have made a right banana of myself and kicked the door down...toilet doors are usually flimsy.
Mathilda got stuck in a mall toilet. I was screaming my head off (completely unreasonably) and panicking, rattling on the lock, and everything. She was standing next to me and when I looked down, I did a comical double take and she said: "I crawled underneath!" Eeeuuwwww! New clothes!! hahahaha

Love to EveryOne, Pet XXX

Hello PP...Good to see you sis...
..and I am relieved to hear that hubby quit that big ole Job and you guys will be spending loads more time together... I shuddered to think of you spending another winter alone for weeks at a time especially if the snow is as bad as last year... and Allen bless him..no more corporate stress! :cheers:

Take it easy on that neck of yours... Necks are tricky things..wish we could air mail you Gypsie... She'd make you right as rain in no time flat...Won't she Lilly?


Well hello John! :D You are always welcomed at the cafe... There are a few cookies left but I'm afraid they've gone a bit stale. How about some of these "thingies" that Gypsie brought to the house. What did you call em Deb? I do have some green tea on hand so yes... I'll pour you a nice steaming cup... :lol:

Oh, I was in a nostalgic mood a bit ago so I began at the beginning and was skiming the secret thread. It was like a walk down memory lane... Anyway I found Petra's Mr. Big Horn story (actually she had many of them but this one still lingers in the brain and makes me laugh out loud whenever I picture the course of events... Image

Here it is. Hope you don't mind Pet... :love

Hello you Lovely's, Hello All,

I wondered what had happened to 'our Robob', thought the old git wasn't coming back!!
Gypsie, you're gonna be a gramma? You look old enough to be a mother...just! And don't you give it another thought about any corniness on this thread. Infact, it ain't so much corny, as touching another's life, soul...well, mine anyway! What's corny anyway? Certainly not what I'm reading on this thread!!!
Stoopid thing happened today! I was so busy today that I was late feeding the animals...by an hour! The pigs are okay with that, but the bulls are never! They were mooing like a bunch of starving sacrificial lambs to the slaughter...making a right racket! There was no way I was going to bother to try and face them. So I had this great idea to tippytoe through the field with their sweetmix, (get them unawares) while they were waiting for me by the usual entrance! Big mistake!! The field, (especially where they have been trampling) is all sticky-muddy. So, as I crept up behind them where they still couldn't see me, I suddenly got stuck. My wellies were stuck fast and it took a lot of effort to pull each wellie out for the next step. I was getting really annoyed after 10 minutes of this, and had to let off some steam, (only a little bit) but enough for the heifer to hear me and come a-looking what was going on.
There I was, bucket of sweetmix in one hand and forcing my way toward the trough in the most stickiest, suckiest mud you can imagine, she pops her head around the wall and moo's really loud! I drop the bucket and tell her: "Shhhhh! Shut up, you silly cow!" a minute later, Mr. Huge Horns pops his head around the wall. It was the way Mr Horns popped his head around the wall that made me laugh. Then the other 2 bulls stuck their heads around the back sides of Ms Gingernuts and Mr Big Horns, and I remembered Phil telling me: "Never approach them in the field! Dunno why, but they'll go for you!"
So I ran! Well.....I tried to run. And you know that familiar dream where you are trying to escape but you feel like you're running in very sticky glue,....or mud??? that was me! I managed to leg it to the fence, I threw myself over it rather than jumped, got up and did a 'yahoo!!!' which was very short-lived, because right then 16 pigs came screeching around me like a scene out of Hannibal, and actually threw me off balance, till I landed face down in a huge pile of beep-beep and mud! I cut my hand too and I remember thinking frantically: "When was my last tetanus jab??"
With a face full of muck, I staggered to the bulls barn and they rushed over to me like little children anticipating some sweeties and I barely noticed them. I barged past them and walked to their trough. Mr 60004 (the steer) was butting me from behind and I just suddenly started to find everything so ridiculous and funny. So I laughed and laughed and laughed some more. He still butted me and shoved me about with that hard head of his. So what! I didn't care, because I was finding the whole thing so ridiculously funny.
You know what? I sat there, laughing and crying at the same time, not caring what the heck would happen, with the bucket of sweetmix they so desperately wanted, and they took their turn feeding from the bucket, and the uncastrated one, Mr 60004, actually nuzzled up to me like a pooch would do. I ignored him at first....preferring to make the most of a rest in the pile of soft hay, watching the sun set. But he continued, until I stroked his nose, and then his solid forehead, and then his ears...before you know it, he was letting me pet him like a dog. I gave him a kiss on the snotty wet nose before I walked off.

I hate them and yet I love them. That's it! Perfect balance in my life. Keeps me on my toes and keeps me happy!

I love you all,

Oh Yeahhh, I remember that evening! God, I miss the farm. We left so hurriedly and Mr Big Horns with the attitude was sold at market for the highest in that neck of the wood's history. Perfect specimen of a Welsh Black. How I miss it, said that already?
You know, when we taking Prissy Pants Ginger nuts to market, we could not load her in the trailer on the first attempt.
Phil woke us up at the crack of dawn, positioned the children near the open trailer in the narrow high banked lane and went to steer her out of the field, down the lane, up onto the trailer. Couldn't be easier? WRONG! OMG! The fiasco she caused Phil. She was bombing up to us, the kid's stood their ground, bless them, and I shot off around the corner screaming like a coward I am, LOL. She stopped in front of the opening and Phil running behind her was screaming: "Where's mother!" (oower, bad sign, he never refers to me as mother!) Ginger looked back at Phil, then bolted to the kids again, managed to bomb passed Mathilda and squeezed past the trailer back to the others!
Phil tried a second time. Then a third time. A fourth. Time was ticking on. I'm yelling: "The kid's have to get ready for school!!" in the dawn mist as Phil is futilely chasing Ginger, as she trotted about the field, stopped for a bit of grass, ran off soon as Phil was near, almost as though she was toying with him.
At one point, (9am.....4 hours later!!) Phil was shouting his head off actually running on a thick hedge: "Get here you beep beep, I'll beep beep kill youuuu!" and that was when after a huge fit of laughter me and the kids gave up!
They stayed off school and when their teacher's read my truthful account of why they didn't go to school, they were laughing their heads off and the head framed his and put it on his wall! hahahahaha!

Sorry it was long! Love you All, Pet XXX It was very nice having that trip down memory lane Sandy, thanks! XXX
