Friday, and time to update the blog! Have had an eventful week, leaving last Sunday for Brisbane to spend time with my friend Cath. Monday was a busy day for Cath, an appointment with her Bone Marrow Transplant Specialist who has given the go ahead for her transplant in August. They have found a perfect match for her in America and with a successful transplant she will be cured from the hideous disease of Multiple Myeloma she has been suffering from for the last 5 years. Her hospital visits take up most of the day but we were able to squeeze in a delicious Vietnamese soup for lunch at West End and a lovely wander around the shops in New Farm.
Ross was left at home to babysit the baby, this included discovering a pesky cane toad which he had to do battle with! Luckily, Bonnie had not seen it, after her cane toad episode last year we were much relieved to exterminate the varmint before she got to chomp on it!
Ross and Bonnie kept up the lovely walk routine, down to Mudjimba to frolic in the water and sand. A lovely photo of Bonnie sun baking on the beach.
Ross has had some miraculous visits with his Mum, from nearly losing her and not being able to wake her to her sitting up, conversing and hungry, ready to eat lunch! She enjoys being taken out into the sun in her wheel chair and admiring the lovely gardens that surround the nursing home.
Ross picked me up from Brisbane on the Wednesday and we drove down to Coomera, south of Brisbane to catch up with Bob and Elaine. Bob and Elaine, are another couple we met on the road in the year 2000, same time as we met Robert and May who we just met up with in Kingaroy. They have just moved into a Retirement Village, looking over the Coomera River, what a lovely view, water, gumtrees and lots of bird life to enjoy from their deck. We enjoyed lunch at the Boathouse Tavern, an interesting pub that housed a large boat set up as the bar!
We returned home on Wednesday night and Thursday was the big day for me to pick up my new phone! So I am back with my new piece of technology Iphone 4, I think Ross is a little envious as he likes new gadgets and mine is now much more up-to-date than his phone! He will now have to wait for the Iphone 5, or accidentally drop his Iphone in the dog Bowl! This photo of our girl is taken with the new phone!
Latest photo from Natalie of our beautiful granddaughters! We also received a beautiful letter from our other granddaughter, Sarah in Melbourne. Another poppet who loves to draw, what a special treat for Nana and Pa!
