1 month Anniversary



Here's photos on the day that Leigh and I celebrated our 1 month anniversary - just 2 days after our Aussie wedding. Note our mode of transport in the background...Leigh absolutely loves this baby...and I chalk it up as a "fun-ride" like at an amusement park or something...Sure is amusing.
So we got ALL gussied up, and got in the UTE and went out to a restaurant called "Tellers". We ate....
yup you guessed it
Kangaroo!

Actually Leigh got the Kangaroo because after meeting such cute animals I opted for steak inside. I mean who cares about cows anyways? he he he

Well, truth be told by the end of the meal, I had tried a bite or two, or three???...
Mmmmm Cajun Kangaroo?

I also bought a hat. Persuaded by Lindsey's story as well as the big thing coming up....the Ballarat Cup!

The whole town goes out and celebrates the horse races. All the ladies dress up to the nines, and everyone wears a big eccentric hat. So cool!

Based out of Britain, I believe, however, the Aussie's keep it aussie style, by overlooking the "refinery" of it all...and guzzling back a few beers. On the occasion I hope to get a few photos to show you all.

Dear Leigh, God put me, your new big sister, in your life for just this moment. To be the voice of reality and reason...that car just ain't cool!

Is the hat the same size as you? What if it it's just an elaborate Aussie joke on forgeiners? What if no one really wears the big hat? That'll be funny!

That is no car. It's a UTE. If you don't have a Ute your just not cool. We all can't drive a Van Glenna.

I’m glad that you both had a great time Angie. The hopping steak does taste great doesn’t it?

Wow. Someone is a little over-sensitive when it comes to his bro's mode of transportation! I don't care if it IS a UTE, it is just plain not stylin'.

You live on a farm, drive a Soccer Mom car and say stylin'. Mmmm, i don't think anyone within 100 miles of you even knows what that means.

I am here to teach them my friend. If they don't know what 'stylin' means then they should turn to me to help them.

And I have no issue with my "soccer mom" van. Did you not SEE how hot I looked in it??????? By the way, your electrical work passes inspection.

The Art of Making Mistakes

Image
  I don't know if you have ever struggled with your "bits n pieces" of art being good enough for general public viewing.  I love to draw doodley art/tangles/words... mindlessly on bits of paper especially while watching TV or listening to music.  I would never classify it as "fine" art.  I do it to relax - and because I'm  trying to slow down, I'll often make errors in the process from impatience or distraction. They are far from perfect. Not poetically beautiful. Not necessarily powerful or inspirational.  And are littered with mistakes. A few weeks ago, I saw my talented son draw a beautiful picture and half way through, throw it in the bin.  I asked him why he would throw away such a beautiful piece of work and he grunted "too many mistakes" and then "Its not how I imagined it to look." Oh boy - did I relate!   We want to hide our mistakes or start over... forget that we were so stupid to make such a big blunder in the first place....

The Big 3- Oh!

Image
I can hardly believe the big day has come and gone - the big 3-oh! Fortunately I have been informed by many that 30 is the new 20 so, I'm doing good then!...There have been no major old age mishaps - like losing my vision, having a bad hip, arthritis, or a desire to watch Matlock - I am in good condition!!! While at home my parents/family made a great dinner and gave me a few great presents like a new calendar, the movie Big Fish, Foot lotions, etc. and some cash. It was great to spend an evening with them celebrating. Also Leigh's parents, brother, and sister sent me some money to buy a guitar so now I am looking into that a bit more to see what would suit me best. I am so blessed. With a little bit of the money that I got, I went to Canadian Tire and bought a mini drawer thing used for screws, and nails, etc. and made it into a jewelry box for all my necklaces, and earrings, etc. It's fabulous! My actual birthDAY was amazing too... It all started with some yummy eggs...
