Chris went down to Sydney for training for his new job so we went to visit my parents in Toowoomba for a few nights. This is what our guest bed looked like when we arrived...

We took my Mum out for brekky on her birthday to a little coffee shop down at Labrador that we've been going to for our birthdays. It's so nice to go and see the water and watch the boats go past. Then we went around to Budds beach for a coffee. It was such a beautiful day...

Laura designed these beautiful cards and got Chris to print them for me for Christmas. They are different bible verses and quotes printed on pale blue card with a little bird on the top. I love them. Thanks Laura... xx

Found my Dream Home...


I went for a drive with my parents today to Cambooya (about 20kms south of Toowoomba) to have lunch at a pub. I had rib eye steak and mushroom gravy. And then shared a sticky date pudding with the kids...

On the way home we took a different road and came across this property. Dad pulled over so Laura could take photos for me. I was in love with it. It was so neat. Oh how I would love to live on a property like this... (just closer to town)

This was the entrance with a little cottage in front of the barn...

And this is the cute little house with a neat garden. They were probably inside making scones at the time...

Out to the left of the house is a verandah area where you can sit and look out over the paddocks...

Home Sweet Home....

Yep, sure could live here....

It's surrounded by farms...
Down the back were chook yards, pig pens, wind mill and lots of old interesting sheds...

Tuesday afternoons when my Dad comes to visit, we sit around the dining room table having a cuppa and surfing together... (what would the Ingalls think from "Little House on the Prarie")...

We had finished grocery shopping after a long day and as we walked past the bakery, we heard this donut calling out to us...

How could we say no, and ignore it. :)

I love this watercolour that Laura painted as a gift for Brent and Renee's first wedding anniversary. She used a photo that she took of them on their wedding day, sitting at the beach. She is so creative and talented. I love the chocolate frame she chose from ikea. They loved their gift...
