Poppy is now one.

Good news!!! I had my PET scan and they did a whole body scan.  The results are that they could find no trace of cancer anywhere.   I am so thrilled and want to thank all my friends here for all their support and messages of encouragement.   I so appreciate your kind thoughts and believe that it does make a difference.   Thank you all.

Hi Wendy - welcome to the wongerful world of Sudokuland.

I was in Ocean Grove last weekend, I couldn't believe the beautiful weather - we didn't even pack shorts let alone bathers.

Wendy, thanks for your comments. Actually Anglesea is my second home but the whole of the Peninsular has a special place in my heart. Unfortunately I will be out of touch for the best part of a week now because I am coming down to Melbourne to attend the funeral of my favourite aunt. I am in touch with Angie who is trying to arrange a meeting while I am in Melb but i am not sure that will be possible. Please don't think I am ignoring you if I don't respond durng the next couple of days - getting to a computer might be difficult. Cheers.

Hi Wendy, and welcome to your own special page! That's a hungry looking cat you have there, so instead of my usual double chocolate fudge beavertail pastry as a page warming gift, how about some Atlantic Salmon for you and the cat? Oh heck, have the pastry for dessert, and enjoy!

Hello Wendy, thank you for visiting my page. I take it that Orange Grove is a suburb of Perth or am I mistaken. I think mistaken as Ian has said that he's been there many times. So where is it, please.
Anyway, a bottle of Goundry Unwooded Chardonnay for you to toast your own page and some

Whoops, Wendy, I must have been tired. I thought it said Orange Grove, how dumb of me. I have been on a small bus through Geelong and I remember you posting as that, I went along the Great Ocean Road to Adelaide a few years back. Beautiful scenery along that way once you get past Geelong, although I didn't see much of that.

Hello Wendy. Just dropped by for a visit and to let you know that I'm thinking of you while your dad's in the hospital. I know how exhausting it can be to care for a loved one. Please let me know how he's doing. Meanwhile, I leave you with a snifter of brandy to help you sleep. And a bottle of Niagara ice wine to share with others for dessert. Take care.

Wendy, you must be quite relieved. Such good news about your dad, and I'm glad you had the night to regroup.
Many thanks for the chocolate chip cookies--I just climbed 360 stairs so surely I can sample one or two cookies! I'm sweaty and pooped ...
Have a terrific weekend, and I'll keep fingers and toes crossed for your dad.

Hello Wendy - I hope you have a lovely Mother's Day with your family. I'm sure that you will miss your Mum a lot but just think back on all the lovely times you shared with her.

Hi Wendy thanks for visiting my page and the cookies, here's some flowers and eucalyptus (not sure if I spelled that correctly ) for your Koala.
Knew that the Aye-Aye was nocturnal from it's big eyes, thought it was a marcupial because where this site is hosted, googled it and followed from there, and have fun with the puzzles and posting.

Hey Wendy, let me start by apologising for not popping in sooner. I'm so so sorry. I see you have had lots of visitors already and Col has put in her two cents worth (hehe). Maybe next time Col and I are up your way we can try and catch up for a coffee or drink? Love the photo of the Koala, arn't they just they just adorable.
Ok, time to move on and continue my virtual tour of SudokuLand. Hope you have a great day.

Greetings Wendy and welcome to your own page. It's taking me awhile to getting around to visiting every one's page, but I've enjoyed my visit and hope to have you come visit my page soon. Love the koala hiding in the trees. Hope your dad continues to improve from his recent hospitalization. May peace surround you and all you love.

Hey fot the beers, Jamgs Boag did you say? Here's some Polygamy porter, ( a real beer from Wasatch Brewing Company here in Utah, making light of the Mormon Culture here) and Coors, from the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, My favorite


There's probably many Ocean Groves all over the world, I think every State in The U.S. has a Salem in it. My pic is an optical illusion, if you look close it looks like water is going uphill

Greetings Wendy.
You are such a sweetheart! - Thank you for your wonderful comments in my page. No, I am not a professional photographer. A newspaper in Seattle, published one of my photos in an article, but it was purely pro bono - as my brother would say.
I've always enjoyed photography, but left it alone for a number of years due to the high cost of film (used to buy it bulk) developing, etc. About two years ago I bought a point and shoot camera, which left me longing for more. In April, last year, I bought my Panasonic Lumix when my Company gave me my 30 year anniversary bonus. For Christmas hubby gave me my Nikon D80. He has since, realized how much additional lenses, flashes, etc. cost. Too late!!!!!
Perhaps I just gave you more info than you were looking for....but that's me....not a CP....just great at monologues.

Wendy: I just saw the comment! First; thank you for all the compliments. Believe me when I tell you they are extremely appreciated.
Second; Your photo is special. You captured a very pretty animal - unique to your country - in a very unusual position. You have captured an instant of an animal's life and have shown it to the world. That, my dear friend, is a great accomplishment. I agree with Nancy, I would love to see the other photos as well.
