How Sweet it is

To live in a town you love.

and I love Eden,

I love the fact that if I get small town fever and need to escape, I can jump in the

car, drive for 20 minutes and I am in Merimbula, drive for another

15-20 minutes and I am in Bega

6 hours to Melbourne, 6 hours to Sydney.

LOVE LOVE LOVE it

The girlies are all settled and happy at school

dh loves his job and pops home when ever he wants

the house is huge and as we threw out, donated, sold so much stuff before we left

I get up in the mornings, put the washing on, make breakfast & lunches, drop kids at school

and it takes me 10 minutes to make the beds, tidy the kitchen and the

day is then mine to do as I please

Not that I have done any sewing in my gorgeous big sewing room

YET.

Big excitement here last night for the 1st time in 10 days we could actually

watch crystal clear, with sound and no interference free to air tv

our austar has been re connected, we have internet

and its taken me a week to do 105kms in the car lol

Tomorrow if the weather is nice I am going whale watching :)

I have never been whale watching so its rather exciting.

I joined the girls and I up at the library today Sophie is costing us a

small fortune in books, she can read a book a day.

Love that,

Emma is getting more interested in reading, she wants new books

too lol and Imogen is plodding along with her reading really really

well.

Next week we will shrink to a family of 3 as the 2 big girls are

going on school camp Wednesday - Friday, they are so excited.

Dh is off to Wollongong on Thursday for a medical

we went to Bega this morning for his eye test, had some brunch there

did a bit of camp shopping, picked up some new books for the

girlies now I am wasting time until I have to collect them from school.

I did burn my fingers though on the wood heater, I swore long and loud lol

I have lost a couple of layers of skin though but they will heal well

unlike my knuckle which I burnt cooking dinner on Monday night,

which blister, popped and has been so weepy, and as its right on my knuckle

everytime I bend my finger it splits open again and it is just soooooo

sore.

The only sewing I have done is for Imogens wall hanging

which is Rosalie Quinlans Little Patchwork Village, she picked it out

in Bairnsdale, on our drive here which was 2 weeks ago tomorrow

4.5 houses stitched, 4.5 to go then I get the sew it all together.

Plus I need to put the binding on Em's new bed quilt, and quilt

her owly wall hanging which I made soooo long ago, then I need to

make a wall hanging for Sophie who won't ever ask for one, but I

know she really wants one.

Just want to say I miss my mummy and my daddy

and doing coffee with the girls.

I will have to plan a trip home very soon for a couple of days

just to get my mama fix lol
