I must be having a CRAFT moment I cant find the piccies Help! please Jude2

Afternoon Wattlers, B****y miserable in Melb this arvo. Its pouring with rain and just got so cold & dark I had to put the lights and heater on, Im glad the week is almost over, Ive had an on going 'discussion' with optus and today was the banks turn. Why cant you get someone to do as you request without trying to sell you things you dont want, or wanting to ask your OH first? Worst mistake both guys made was to ask to speak to my hubby before doing as I wanted....dont think they will do that again in a hurry...lol Laurie I feel sorry for you, all that hard work you have done, but maybe not for nothing you might be able to pass it on to someone one day who will be really grateful. Hi to everyone,off to check out all the Yarra pics now. back later Jude2

Oh Laurie, never mind. Perhaps it's 'cause you nicked 3000 yesterday, lol!! Don't worry, that happened to me too. My Johnson's weren't, 'cause Mum had been married before and great grandfather Johnson was really a Brown! Blasted nuisance, lol. May as well have been a Smith!!!!!! Lew Lew xxx

Oooohhh Laurie.......don't say that! You can't give up tree hunting! What would we do without your daily reports and friendly chatter? Have a cup of tea, a Bex and a good lie down and you feel happier in no time! Soothing <<<<hugs>>>> on their way to you. love Trifley

Afternoon Wafflers Good to see you all happy and chirrpy.. Hi Cinders....I don't care where we meet so long as it's South Bank. I've already booked my bed and don't want too far to walk. It would be too much like exercise. As I said before......I have another single bed in my hotel room. So if any of you intend staying Friday and/or Saturday night....just give me a yell. I'll try not to snore too loud. Wilson.....do you do those pretty designs in your paddocks like the aliens? I'm sure your hubby would be thrilled heee heee. Have fun and good thoughts for rain when you need it again. Lew Lew.....wonderful news about your friends new baby. They must be overjoyed after such a long time trying. Welcoming <<<hugs>>>to the little fellow. Graeme is home today so we are doing a spot of gutter cleaning. I should say....he's doing the cleaning. I'm standing with the phone in hand for when he falls off the roof lol. Mark is improving and even though he feels washed out he's bored so he has decided to go to work tomorrow. I should have a quiet and relaxing day then. ~~~~~waves and <<<hugs>>> to you all. I'll be back later. love Trifley

Well folks . . . I give up !! Finished with family history . . . not doing it ever again . . . throwing it all in the bin . . . I can't believe what I just found! I have wasted years searching a family that dont even belong to me - or so it would seem !! Better not throw it out just yet . . . But, it would seem that my gtgran was married and had two children before she remarried and had another 9 - my gran it appears was really from the first marriage. Have never been able to find a birth record, but that didn't suprise me, as I have lots like that - they did live out on the never never, Even the bush brothers only came a couple of time a year so baptisms were an all in affair - if you happened to be in town when they came. Registrations - haven't got time to do things like that! It was finding gtgrans death mistranscribed as Butson instead of Beetson that got me on a search of NSWbdm's just using town names - have ordered cert will let you know how it works out! BUGGER !!! thinking of the money spent already on certs that may not be relevant - maybe ebay gotta laugh or I'll cry . . . Feeling quiet deflated - going for a walk, luv Laurie

Jude3 YV - how could you forget !! - SPIDERS LOL H&B

I am going crazy I think . . . I just typed a quick note to tell Jude YV that our old friends up north are Gwenda & Geoff, our wattle friends are really Gwenda & Dave, it was there one minute - went back and its jolly well gone . . . This floppy disc really is in bad shape . . . Sorry Jude YV for confusing you - try this go off saying Gwenda & Dave, Gwenda & Dave . . . . luv Laurie

Laurie thank you just read the history lesson -lol Lew Lew - what a wonderful first book - I used to love the TV programme (not the cartoon one) used the kids as an excuse to watch it. jude 3 walks away reciting Gwenda & Geoff, Gwenda & Geoff, .....

Vonny, love Gods paint pot mishap . . . got a new screensaver cheers luv Laurie

~~~waves to Laurie~~~ You're right. What was I thinking. Mudgee, summer, heat, blah! I'm sure we'll find some other activity to keep us occupied, lol, like - talking! Have just bought baby Julian his first book - Wind in the Willows. Lovely. Seeya Lew Lew (56 sleeps)

Good morning all, well there is still a little bit I can call morining. A magnificent day here on the Bay, 'clear as a bell' and 'flat as a tack' !! Lovely sunny day with clear skies, and the Bays is so flat we even have two big racing boats out there water skiing. There are only two giraffes getting time off in the sun, and there are two Tankers over at Kernell - as I look up I see that the Tugs are over at one of them now getting it ready to leave. Sorry Mary, I wasn't awake to give you a wave this morning at that hour, but your right it is nasty the planes arriving so early. With all the flights Ray has, thats one of the main reasons we live so close to the airport - I'm not at my best in the mornings! Yeah right girls !! I know Mudgee in summer . . . not a good time to be making candles, if we did it would have to be out under the olive trees with a little cooktop or something - miles away from Lew Lews lovely new kitchen. Have to be chunky ones - we all know what tapers do in the heat!!! Hey Cinders, your probably right about the Plough Inn, so maybe we should look outside the park - just out on Melbourne Street there are a few pubs with beer gardens, maybe that would be the go - can't think of the names, but from memory they were OK. Or we could always get a gooney and sit on the grass by the river - seen lots doing that so it must be fun! Thats alright JudeYV - I wont say nothing about names, we have very good friends - names Gwenda and Geoff . . . so that combination of names just wont go out of my head! Ah well, floppy disc overload . . . have to get an updated memory system! When I go out home to help on the tractor Wilson, I enjoy it too, sitting up there on my own with my music and my thoughts . . . for a little while !!! But as soon as something goes wrong (which always happens - something clogged, or broken or bent) then I just want out of there. Have fun !! Ray has arrived in LA, one night there and off to Vegas in his morning - hope his flight there is better than ours last year, so windy, massive dust storm, really scarey landing and just after we landed they closed the airport for a few hours. Lew, so glad for Kim & Richard, after all they have been through - what a great result. Well it was still morning when I started to write this, now its time for a cuppa & slice of quiche on the balcony. Have a great day all! Cheers luv Laurie

Lol, at least you were having a good time, Jude!

Lew it was more a tall story - if I had been singing I would have been well and truly on my own. If only I could remember what the hell I was talking about! Maybe Heather and Barry can remember? jude

Great photos Tony. How was Jude YV's singing voice. Her actions looked pretty full on, lol. Turned into a nice day in Mudgee. Sun shining, not a cloud in the sky, although there is a nip in the air just to remind us that winter is coming. Hope you all have a great arvo. Lew Lew x :-}

Arvo. Wattlers. Have added some pic's to the GC Photo board of the Yarrawonga meet, for anyone who hasn't seen any Photo's yet.......:>)))........1st page groups*msn*com/GCPhotospage/pictures Tony Oz.....:>))

Morning Those who were at wonga meet - please claim you OH's. lol. Sent photos off to everyone who asked for them, but of course because I hadn't seen photos of OH 's just GR girls - I couldn't remember who belonged to who - lol. I knew Tony & Barb from his ASL photos, I know Michael and Lara, Heather and Barry, Laurie and Ray, but cant put together the other couples. My excuse is that we weren't introduced as 'couples' , I can feel myself digging a bigger hole for myself here. HELP!! take pity. If I'm confused, imagine what its done to everyone else looking at the pics! Vonny table is sounding good, I think Christmas in July is great - makes a lot more sense with our climate. (C'mon fess up its just an excuse to christen the table lol.) Ken always does the assembling of flat packs - as mechanic he isn't allowed to have bits left over lol Sandra loved the choccy joke. pmsl , but now not looking foward to tuesday mammogram - ooohhh/ouch. All these new bubs arrriving lately, hmm now if we count back 9 months - it was winter - lol. Well I'm off to ancestry for a while, I might fit some work in as well catch u later jude
