March 2012

 HI all, another month has gone by so here's March in review....



The Boys


Trevor and Margaret passed through from Whyalla again and spent a week in Chiltern so we got to see a bit more of them than usual and along with John had a lovely time at the Commercial Club listening to the band and having dinner.

All of us

The girls

 Spent a lovely Sunday afternoon having woodfired pizza at Watchbox Wines where we caught up with Heather and Loui and Ann for lunch. Was lovely to see Tyson and Shelley who run the restaurant...gorgeous day to sit outdoors amongst the greenery.

 I was the only person to enter the scrapbooking section at the Wodonga Show so scooped all the prizes...

 I had a lovely 2 days away at Porepunkah on a carers retreat while Steve was cared for at home.
Beautiful room and gorgeous comfy bed, right on the river....

The neighbours had a gorgeous dispilay of dahllia's

 The deck overlooked the river and we spent heaps of time on it.

 ... including African Drumming...loved it

Took a drive to bright in my spare time and had a look around the lovely old town

Retreat finished with lunch at this lovely winery looking over valley and mountains.....

February 2012 in Wodonga

Well here it is the end of February and nothings been added to the blog for a while so below is a snapshot of February in Wodonga......

Steve and John are still enjoying coffee time... this time at Elmwood Cafe.

I had a Deluxe Pedicure and now have navy blue toenails.... the verdict's still out on whether I like them or not.

                                                                                           Dropped my old camera on it's lens so trying the new one out... family pets Oxley and Deefer lazing around.

On the way home from the club last night snapped these shots at Noriel Park in Albury.

 In our garden.....

Herb patch above looks like it needs a bit of TLC

Weed to left keeps the lonely little nasturtium company

Below ... love my Geisha plant in flower.

Don't forget to check out my Scrapbooking Blog http://zanste.blogspot.com.au/ for latest stuff I've been doing for leisure and pleasure... 

Australia Day

Steve celebrated Australia Day in style with his Aussie flag and hat.

Chris and Harold visited for a few days starting Australia Day. We had a nice night out at the club and just a lovely quiet time chatting and watching movies. A couple of late nights for them heading back to the motel.

Hello

Hi all
Been pretty quiet here mainly trying to escape the warmer weather.

I have been busy scrapbooking so my other blog zanste.blogspot.com has some new photos on it.

Our first visitors for 2012 were Doug and Simone from Ballarat who booked a couple of nights in a motel and came to catch up early in the month. We picked up our friend John and all went out for dinner at the club.
Last year when they came up I forgot to take a photo so remembered this time!

Just last week we caught up with Leonie and Rex from Peterborough Sth Aust as they passed through which was lovely ... forgot the photo though!
