1. I am afraid of the dark.

2. I am the youngest in my family by eight years. My sisters are 14 and 15 years older than me and my brother is eight years older. So my older nieces and nephews are like siblings to me. We used to hang out and "play".

3. I love pickled onions or any pickled food, except I cannot eat olives, they make me gag.

4. I DO NOT like snakes, but for Luke I learnt to tolerate bearded dragons.

5. I have never had major surgery, only ever had anaesthetic to have tonsils removed as a little girl. I guess epidural for child birth also counts as anaesthetic.

Missing Nadine

It has been just over two weeks that Nadine has been away in the States.

I find myself feeling miserable every now and then, and have realised its because at that moment I am missing her soooooooooooo much!

So thought to make up a list of some of the reasons we're missing her.

We miss .................

Early morning Family Prayer.

Early Mornings hearing her leave for work.

Lovely meals "A la Nadine"

Happy chatting at the end of a day.

My Window Live Messanger Buddy.

The tick of her lap top keys when she answers e-mails and writes on her blog.

Her Blog..lol

Her Shower Gel fragrance......lol

Shopping on Saturday mornings

Watching Chick Flicks together

Seeing her beautiful smile

Hearing her cute giggle.

Teasing her. (Luke)

Tickling and bugging her. (Dad)

Listening to sisters catch up chatter.

Emails with inspirational quotes and stories.

Hearing about Shimbala. (work)

Conversations about spiritual things

Dad cell phone ring tone..."I Love you baby....."

My Cell ring tone..." ring,ring,ring.."

Hearing about whats she's up to right now.

Knowing you so far away...makes us miss you more

Love you Nadine

xoxo

Wonderful Surprise

When I was in High school I had to change Music teachers as my teacher became ill.
The music school that I then attended offered classes in many instruments and formed an orchestra, in which I played the violin. (we were just all beginners) The reason I did violin lessons was because my brother had played and so we had 2 instruments in our home.
But I always have wanted to play the flute.

Well last week I had a wonderful surprise!!
Rob bought me a flute.

My Darling husband had remembered all these years that I had the desire to play this instrument. THANK YOU!

I am so excited to be able to learn to play this instrument. I really love the sound of flute music.

Our Rhodesian Ridgeback, Zeus developed a tumour on his left leg in about October 2009.
The vet said it was cancer and that it would eventually move to his lungs.

So very sadly we had to say goodbye to Zeus. I took him to be put down on the 1st March.

Zeus was 9 years old and a delightful pet. He loved to swim with us. He enjoyed jumping onto Luke's bed to say goodmorning. He always wanted to be where we were. Loved sneaking into the house to lie at the door. He was very affectionate and an excellent watch dog. We miss him.
