It's about time!

Well I have decided that it is about time for me to start posting regular posts in my blog. Yesterday my sisters and my nephews wife all came over together with my cousins wife for a card making day. We had a great time and despite lots of slinging off at one another and much noisy chatter we managed to make a few cards. Lunch was toasted sandwiches and Hisami made a delicious lemon cake desert with a hot lemon syrup poured over it. Baby John is learning both Japanese and English at the same time. He is a dead ringer for my nephew who is his Dad. Despite being half Japanese he doesn't look it. If you put his photo and Darren's side by side you would be hard put to tell the difference. I live in Australia and love our normally hot dry summers but the winter is not my favourite time of year. It is what we call really cold here at the moment but having been in America for a holiday in autumn we don't know what cold is. I remember walking across the battlefield at Ghettysburg and the grass beneath my feet was frozen and breaking off. That doesn't ever happen where I live and I saw my first snow ever in America. It never snows in the west over here. Most Australians have never seen snow. I was talking on chat to one of the other scrappers on pages in time and she said that in Canada where she lives it gets down to minus 35 degrees centregrade in their winter. Here we have an ocaisional minus 1 centregrade at night. We have had two years of drought and the rain in the last two weeks has brought welcome relief although the rivers and lakes are still very low. Over in the east they have had floods and some areas even had snow. Well maybe I will write more again this week so be good and God Bless love Dee xxooxx
