Will try to save you from a TOPP Heidi!

Wow! actually managed it - Merry Christmas to me! And God bless us every one! Oh - Christmas is over Down Under ... Well. Happy New Year then! :)

It's Happy Boxing Day Judy!
Heidi, more good news for you here, you have so many friends that care about you.

Judy!
Yep.... I have my land back already. And I came out of it lookin' good. I even offered to trailer the horses to their new home, but they found someone else.

I realize that, Broni, and consider myself quite blessed for it.

Yep we are all pretty lucky to have found each other Cheers!

I think we all feel lucky to have each others as friends.

Cheers!

Well, I am tired, I've been over stressed today, and my back and leg are killing me. I think I shall go to bed early, so y'all, and for being such great friends.

Good thing I saved this, timed out, aggghhhhh!

GOOD NIGHT HEIDI! Hope your back and leg are better with some rest.

About time for me to get to sleep also, I keep going to bed earlier and earlier! 9 pm is early for me, but I guess I need the sleep or I would not be sleeping so much more than I was, ya think?

We had more rain today, spoiled the playing outside for the kiddies with Christmas toys. OH, the ferral neighbors behind us, I think someone there got a new loud toy for Christmas. And a big box of ammo to go with it! Yes, som eone ws out by 10 am shooting a couple of guns, and one of them was louder than normal, sounded like an elephant gun, and we do not have elephants here! At least at 10 am, one could hope they were not mixing alcohol and gunpowder! Scared our kitties, all 3 were in the back yard and at the first shot of that loud one, they collectively jumped straight up in the air, and then headed for the back porch, their "safe place". (Back porch has gates and pickets around the porch, keeps the dogs away.) I got the girls inside and tried to convince boy kitty that under the house was a better safe place than the open toward the neighbors place back porch. Yes, it is legal to shoot here, nothing you can do about gunshots unless they hit your property or someone. Rural living for you, I guess you take the good and the bad.

I'm still up..... I had to tell everyone... THE NEW MEMBER NAMED JAZZY IS RUBY'S NIECE!!!!

Isn't Boxing Day great! No pressure, no stress - just all the left-over food, especially the desserts that everyone looked at yesterday and just moaned feebly .... "Can't eat! Exploding!" Rob apparently did not even taste any of the desserts yesterday (too full of cheese and dips and turkey).... today I found him singing a merry song as he piled his plate with cheesedake and raspberry flummery. He looked so happy I just had to join him! Eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we diet! ;)

JUDY, JUDY, JUDY....NO, NO, NO......
Leave it at least until the New Year before you use the 'D' word and only then with great caution...LOL

It is after 4 and all I have eaten is a handful of scorched almonds and an icecream!! Can't imagine why I am not feeling like food....

hehe...am I the only person out here without a life...believe it or not I have finally felt hungry....have just had breakfast....now I am off to do stuff....

Afternoon all!
Noice relaxing day today - exchanged a couple of things, vacuumed up a bit of chrissy mess, read a bit, a teeny tiny bit of ffuts, hubby got the phones mum gave the girls working properly, I bought a couple of thumb drives and have Mum's electronic photo frame thingy we gave her showing all sorts of photos, ran into friends, got a call from a friend who is going to bring us some wine from wine country.... a noice day

Hi Suzy! Glad your day was relaxing - seems to be the way on Boxing Day, when all the pressure is off and you can actually just enjoy yourself!

Hi Judy, lots of people travel on boxing day! Can't imagine that - I need the day to recover... I try to stay home that day anyway because we live in a tourist area and the roads are insane.

Looks like Heidi's day has had a turn for the better. MizT has been having so much fun she needs to sleep. Bean had breakfast at dinner time. And you didn't eat any desert yesterday. We didn't either, about to serve some up now!

We will be having leftovers for dinner this eve..

The van is packed other than my clothes.. will do that presently.

The House is tidy and clean, Christmas 2008 packed away, Washing done and put away.

The Cherubs have been told.. to have the house clean and tidy, all clothes washed/ironed and put away before I get home from Holidays.

I think I might be whistling in the wind, if I ask for the Pantry and Fridge/Freezer to be stocked as well !!!

Suzy, many many ( well maybe not that many) years ago, we used to travel on Boxing Day to holiday destination.. finally confinced 'His Nibs' that the next day would be a better day to travel.
It did make for a stressful Christmas Day.. having to pack up Christmas Night ready to leave early the next day !!

Rolanda, did you get to sit in heavy traffic too? I watch the cars driving through our town on boxing day and cringe!

Forgot - have a wongerful time!!!

Yeah, from me too Rolanda.

Have a great time away.

Rolanda - have a great holiday!

I'm sitting here playing Tetris and eating shortbread and homemade caramel, while the family is watching my least favourite "comedy" show - is anyone else around?

Hi Judy, guess what I just had for dinner.
Fruit platter and pav!

Mmmm, your homemade pavlova was delicious! And fruit too - that's a really healthy meal there! My daughter brought a huge pile of prawns back from her fiance's place, and Rob decided to turn the remains of the ham into ham steaks with pineapple, so that was their dinner. Personally I needed red meat (don't want to swoon again!) so had very festive chops and veg - followed by more cheesecake and flummery. Oh food, glorious food! We shall pay for this in days to come! ;)

Today we eat, for tomorrow (or the next day) we walk it off!

Thanks for the reminder...forgot I had prawns! They must be eaten tonight.
Might have myself a pre-midnight feast!

Well, we did also do a lot of walking (around the shops!) - got myself a huge pile of DVDs and Rob looked at big TVs. I think he was overcome by jealousy after seeing your great TV room - hey, he's a guy: everything has to be bigger, louder, faster! Don't know how it will fit into our family room, but he wants it, oh yes indeedy ! ;)

Well topsiders must still be asleep.
That is where I am going,

EAT DESERT FIRST!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Prawns...gone!

Night Broni.

Judy, I know perfectly, why do you think we have one that big!

And on that bubbly prawny note



time for me to hit the hay too.

Catch you all tomorrow.

Check out Easy Gail.....hehe!

Cracked me up.
Oh, I laughed until I stopped.
Hysterical (literally).
Bring me a sewing kit so I can have a stitch!
My sides are splitting.

Sarcastic enough?

Goodnight Sudokuland - time for beddy-byes!Thanks for the company Gail and Broni - talk to you soon! :)

Gail...NOoooooooooo....not the pav....you ate my pav....

Au Revoir SAers

Bon voyage... Rola...
