Rolanda from Perth

The en suite looks fantastic Rolanda. I bet you're glad it is all finished.

Hi, Rolanda! I'm not sure if I commented about your renovated Ensuite. (I meant to after looking at the pictures.) It looks great! The cabinets, pulls, lighting, everything goes together well! And what can we say about a towel warmer! Why, it's almost decadent!

Oh my gosh!!!! I had about 22 messages in my inbox today just from Sudoku friends wishing me a 'Happy Birthday'! Thank you so much for all of your kind thoughts and wishes especially when I haven't been around for so long. It has been a wonderful day and a lovely weekend. Rick and I went away to a romantic chalet at Springbrook with an open fireplace and we went bushwalking etc. I have uploaded a photo of Kiarah and some others onto 'my page'. Photos taken 26th May 2008. Kiarah is just about 18 months old now and still gorgeous hahaha....

Rolanda, for helping to make a good day a great one by adding to my birthday with your greetigs....always fun to be remembered.
I know you are going to have a great time this weekend as you camp out...be safe and have fun!

for the birthday wishes! It was my first sudoku birthday and I was overwhelmed by all of the wishes coming from all over the world. It made having one of those "biggire" birthdays almost worth it!

Lovely new bathroom, by the way! Verrry nice!

forgot to spell check! Don't think there is such a day as a "biggire"! supposed to be ..."biggie"!

Thank you Rola :) I appreciate it...

thanks so much Rola!
i think ill need it!

Taking the time to say thank you for your message of love and support through the tough times with my mum, and her death. My heart has been lifted by the warmth and love shown to me here.

Hello Rolanda - I've just been viewing all your latest photos in flickr and your gallery. The hideaway at Jarrahdale looks very nice for a quiet, peaceful weekend.
I love your ensuite renovations, they are very nice.
I'll have to come and visit when I next come to Perth.

Wonderful place for a retreat, Rolanda!!! Lucky you!! Love your photos!

Thank you for the birthday wishes. It's heartening to have someone half-way around the world wish you a happy birthday.

Hi Rolanda
I found the recipe page and have posted the date scone recipe.
There are some great recipes there I must try.
My hubby and i love rhubarb so must try one of those recipes soon.
Tomorrow night I am making a meatloaf for tea in this outdoor stove.
I must post the recipe for that, its very yummy
and handy for left overs either hot or cold.
I must now start my ironing, it never ceases, these damn chores. lol
A great pic of the pin cushion hakea.
Beautiful

What a lovely thing for you and Peter to do, Rolanda. I'm sure it meant a lot to Lynda's Peter.

Hi Rola! Thank you for sharing your visit with Lynda's Peter with all of us & for being our ambassador from Sudokuland to let him know we have much sympathy for his loss. I never could get Rayray's tribute to open on my computer - sure wish I could have seen it. It was so sweet of him to put that together for Peter.

Enjoyed very much your photos of Jarrahdale & left comments on several of them. It looks like a beautiful place. What was the occasion for the long weekend in Australia? I don't remember seeing it mentioned on Easy.

Thank-you Rolanda - for visiting Lynda's Peter and posting the pictures; including ones of the tribute. It has aroused the sadness again, but that is not a bad thing.

Hi Rolanda. Nice photos of you and Peter meeting with Peter. I'm sure at times it was a heart-wrenching experience. How is Peter holding up?

Rolanda...What touching pictures of your visit with Lynda's Peter. I'm sure that your visit helped him greatly....and just looking at you and Peter I know you two reaped many benefits....
It's a wonderful thing to realize that others understand just a bit that moving on after loss is difficult, you and Peter showed that kind of understanding for Lynda's Peter. Thank You!

Thanks for sharing those photos Rolanda>

Hi Rolanda,

Is that a new avatar? It looks like patchwork - do you do that too?

I'm sure you were always 'Great' before your niece gave birth to Simon Pieter. Please pass on my congratulations to the parents Great Rolanda!

Wellcome Simon Pieter to this world through Great Aunt Rolanda.
Congratulations for the pictures. I am jealous.
I love flowers but do not have the method for taking such a great pics.

Hey Rola, thought your were grrrring at first, hehe! Congrats on the new addition!

Thank you, Rolanda for the birthday wishes.

Hello Rolanda - a big from Amdana, Wayne, Johnathan and me for your best wishes on the arrival of their son and my grandson, Bailey.

Hi Rolanda - Thanks for your kind wishes for our anniversary last week. We had an enjoyable 'short break', a lovely anniversary dinner and to top it off a mini-sudoku-meeting with Elise. Cheers and thanks again!

Just dropped by to say Hi. Things are slow on SA tonight so I'm exploring other people's pages. How have you been? Any more trips planned? It's really cold and wet here so my trips are to and from the front of the fireplace...

ROLANDA, many many thanks for visiting my page and leaving birthday greetings! All the greetings from around the world really added to my celebration, and espically from all the girls I have become so close too on SA. Hugs to you ! Your friendship means a lot to me sweetie.

Hi Rolanda - nice to hear from you for Carla's birthday and my own today - thanks for your kind wishes - another birthday and another year and a few more wrinkles! hope all's well with you x

CONGRATULATIONS to Great Aunty Rolanda!

Hi Rolanda and thanks for the birthday wishes for my newest teenager. Now we have 3 birthday girls on June 26. I bet little Isabell is just gorgeous! for you and her!

Rolanda, thanks for your birthday message the other day, I appreciated the thought.

Hewwo Rolanda, Thank you very much for the birthday wishes last week, and I'm sorry it has taken me so long to get here and say Thanks

Hi Rolanda,
It was lovely to meet up this morning and I have posted the photo on my page if you were interested - you beat me by a long way as I went to the movies and had my hair cut before I came home around 6pm this evening.

Hi again,
My photo worked out well but I think the secret is in the little anti shake button on the camera - so that anyone can pick it up and take a decent photo, unless you shake it violently as you are taking a photo, it is a great feature.

Rolanda -- thank you so much for stopping by my page to wish my husband and me a happy anniversary. We had a lovely day and are now visiting with our grandchildren, who fill our hearts with joy!

Hi Rolanda, I am just finding my way around this site so I am sorry to be so long in answering your message of welcome. What a lovely friendly group of people on this site and how interesting to see all the lovely photos. Please accept this homemade Apricot Pie as a little gift.

Hi Rolanda,
I have posted our wedding photo on my page as you suggested the other day. Hope you like it.
