assemblage

going, going...

 

phew. hard to concentrate on anything at the moment with all this house stuff going on...

a standing ovation

i attended a truly memorable funeral yesterday;
incredibly personal, encouraging and surprisingly inspirational.

a thoughtful and gentle person,
she lived large in the love department.

with a powerful faith and gracious heart,
she did the little things big.

if i managed to leave even 10% of her legacy,
i would think 'job well done'.

with tears,
i stand and applaud your life.

"new" toy

found yesterday with tom:

1 typewriter in perfect working order = 1 happy 6 year old.

fascinated with the mechanism.
curious about the technology.
enthralled by the function.
confused by the 'missing' number 1.
and zero.
committed to typing up his weather presentation.

1 amused and bemused mother.

and breathe out

today.

photos done.

awaiting the copywriter.

tomorrow the carpets shall be cleaned.

and the mr and i shall head to sydney for a 3 day weekend with friends. sans children.

yes - i can feel the cacophanous head clatter subsiding as i type.

almost there

above: a first for me: pink! on my blog!

frenzied cleaning and decluttering and attention to every fine detail in our house is nearing an end. the house photos are scheduled for this thursday with the Open House starting late next week. auction in september. phew!

hopefully a return to scheduled programming shortly.

meanwhile, please welcome my friend, kate, who has recently opened an online bookstore selling excellent children's books by australian authors. many of our favourite books are now available here.
