Heading North Again

Well now - we are almost ready to leave, 10.30am, which is half an hour later than planned but then that is pretty good for us. Hopefully we will be gone within the half hour ---- !
Our itinerary is as under:-

Monday:

• Travel to Airlie to Josephine and Peter Muller

Tuesday:

• Load gear.
• Travel back to Mackay to stay the night with Bugs & Sheree

Wednesday:

• Travel home.

Well Man - that's the plan!!

Most of you will have heard that Bugs and Sheree have signed for a house in Mackay. I am sure that a few prayers that finance etc will all go to plan would be appreciated.

Had a lovely night with Mary for her birthday. She is busily working on her big move to share a house with Cathy and her son Robbie. Tash and Aaron have all that ahead of them before long when they move to Glenden.

Uncle Steve recommended a great book "Head Over Heals" by Sam and Jennifer Riley - about a quadriplegic who conquered so many barriers. Well worth the read. Apparently Sam rang Bill recently and had a good yarn with him and said that if he came to Adelaide as he does every now and then he would give them a call.

Property Sale

Just to let you all know - The offer from David Johns is OK and we have decided to accept it,(which we have told him) but at this stage nothing has been signed as we are waiting for him to recover from his latest bout of cancer treatment - we expect to see him by the weekend when we will finalise details so that we can take it to our solicitor to put into a contract. He will then take it to his solicitor - Settlement will not be until after we harvest as we are retaining the crop. We are not using an agent which will save us about $20,000.00. We will be going up to Yeppoon next weekend (stopping at Biloela Motel on the Friday Night) for Dean and Jenny's wedding and will see our Tax man while we are there (Staying with Tom and Marie on the Saturday Night and maybe Sunday Night depending how long we need with Tom), We are then going on up to Airlie to pick up some shelving which we are buying from Jo and PeterTrust that this will keep you in the loop for the time being - nothing of course can be taken as gospel until the fat bank man sings.

Lots of Love Mum and Dad.

Tawnies return

Our babies have returned once again - to the trees near the dog kennels. Perhaps the dogs make them feel safe! Dad took photos. I particularly like the "How's that for camouflage" one. Unbelievable!
