EliHere are four more of my grandsons. Zacariah is the older brother of Jordan and Paul and they belong to Marcus, of Holt Press. Zac, has been in England for the past year, he works for "Fusion", ministering to young people. He is following closely in his father's footsteps, this is one of the steps Marcus took on his way to becoming a school chaplain. He will be back in Oz on the 19th for a furlough, and I am really looking to seeing him.
Cody,is the youngest son, of my youngest son Bruce, he has a big brother Adam, who is 20 this year. Cody loves his sport, he plays T-Ball and Aussie rules and does very well in both.
Issak and Eli are the two oldest sons of my youngest daughter Shannon, she has three other children, when Samuel the youngest was born, she had five under 8 years. They live about 20 miles from their nearest town where the children go to school, and because of an on going problem with the ed. dept., they are not able to catch the school bus, which of course means two long trips each day. We are hoping that the dispute ends soon, as it is very wearing on them all.
I have been putting the finishing touches to my kitchen, a lovely "Warren Kimble" border with salt box houses and red barns, it looks great. I ordered it over the net last friday and it was here this friday. In contrast I sent a parcel to Shannon, on the 29th April and it hasn't reached her yet, I know she lives on the other side of the country, like from San Fransico to Philadelphia, but two weeks, don't know what the postal pixies get up to. The kids will have outgrown the clothes I sent.
Walter and I have been out in the bush twice this week getting firewood, it's very hard work, but he loves his fire. There are designated areas that you can take wood from and it has to be fallen, no new felling of trees. It does get pretty cold here in Bridgetown, it was 0 degrees (that's celcious) here overnight. The wood shed is full, and he thinks it will see us through the winter. Most of our friends have gone over to reverse cycle air conditioning, and maybe in a few years Walter will have to give up his fire too.

Jacqui,
I loved seeing the pictures of your grandsons!
Hope there will be more!
Seems strange-you talking of firewood, with our summer coming on here! :)
We don't get much extreme cold here- but enough. We had a wood burning fireplace but converted it to a gas log.
...Still, I like the wood better!

Hi Jacqui, the things you have to put up with to get those autum tonings in the trees.
Hi Jacqui ~~ Nice photos of the boys.
I hope Shannon soon gets her parcel.
Has she asked at the Post Office? Or have you? Those Postie Pixies are probably in league with Mr Blogger.
Out to give us a hard time.
Keep well and keep warm. Cheers, Merle.
Poor Walter.
We're sitting here between 33/34 C (I just looked it up) and you're talking about firewood.
Strange world we live in.
Love the pics.
Hi again Jacqui ~~ The photo of Zac
looks like Marcus and Peter when they were both much younger. Zac may not
appreciate this, but I see it. Do you?
Love, Merle.
Hi Anonymous. That win was a fluke!
Cold probably is better although we never actually have snow or a real winter.
I can't remember when you celebrate Mother's Day so I'll get it in now.
Happy Mother's Day (sometime).
