Long Weekend Fun

On the long weekend, Jack & Will came over to Ma ma & Pa's for a sleep over. Ma ma had to go into Servi to take some photos at the Railway Station so the boys came along to explore the old building. They went looking for Ghosts!!


 They climbed the stairs to the attic, looked in the cupboards, under the bed but no ghosts. One thing that they discovered was that they could see a lot of the countryside when they looked out of the window

 We then ventured downstairs to the dungeons. Here are Will & Jack being Sentries at the entrance

Playing prisoners in the holding cells and we didn't find any ghosts!!!

A Long Time Coming

 Well it has been worth the wait. It is 11 years since we shifted from Pinehill to South Servi and Pa had promised me new carpet & curtains for the Rumpus Room. Somehow it was always put on the back burner to be done later, so this was the year for it to happen & I am really happy with the transformation. Now the family can enjoy the results.




The carpet was the first to go in................so lovely to walk on


Then a week later they come out to hang the new tracks & curtains.
The transformation is complete........ Rumpus Room looks brand new!!

Latest Happenings

 Mid April I ventured up to Echuca to do a spot of child minding while Nathan & Julz took their much awaited holiday to Hamilton Island. I had a wonderful time with Lexie & Mitchell. It got Ma ma back into the school routine


  The happy couple with their 10th wedding anniversary gift from the family. 
(a basket full of tins. Now the fun starts in finding out  what is in each of the tins?)

 Just a minute Ma ma..... I'm busy just now!

 Lexie & Mitchell kept themselves busy with lots of play & shopping expeditions


After my week away, I came home to go over to Mundulla to look after Beau & his big brother Toby while Laura did a few shifts at the Child Care centre. Had lots of fun & cuddles with these two boys.

 Beau is still shovelling in the dirt. Such a dry argument I would have thought!!

 Here Toby is showing me his bike riding skills. Getting very clever.



On the 5th May we went to the Bill's Gully Hall Centenary with alot of other local people. We had a great time catching up & having a look about the area.

 some of the crowd waiting for the formalities to start.

The old wagon belongs to Mr Wheaton who owned the  Miram Store & used to do the mail & groceries deliveries to the area, the orange vehicle a ute belongs to Kelvin Moar & Pa's old Dodge were on display

Lucy Grace's Baptism

 While Kara's Mum & Dad were visiting they decided to hold Lucy's baptism on Sunday 14th April and the  family gathered at church to witness the special occasion. It was a family fun day with all the children being able to run and play after a lovely lunch at the Mundulla Pub.

 The grandies stood up with Matt, Kara & Jodie so they wouldn't miss anything.
