TGIF

Today Ana was much better 
We had to watch lots of pepper pig 
And frozen TWICE 



She’s studying the DVD cover. 
She’s learning the song. 
You’d think she could read she looked at it that long 



After frozen we had arts and crafts 
She gets right into her work 



We opened some more puzzles. These ones were harder. 30 pieces 



Then we played hide and seek 
You could her her giggling from the living area 




Daddy collected her and the went home 
It’s been a long busy week and I’m in lots of pain

Meds and an early night tonight for grandma 
Honestly I wouldn’t change it in the world

Extra day

Ana still wasn’t a hundred percent well. So an extra day at grandmas was in order. 

Grandma made cookies and they were a hit
Seconds was asked for. She hasn’t been eating much so it was just nice to see her enjoying food again. 

I did ask her mummy if she was allowed couple more and I was given the green light 



The 100 cookies recipe. I again only made a half batch, and got 54 cookies





Ana wasn’t interested in helping in the kitchen. 
She says she was going into her room to clean

It definitely did not sound like she was cleaning at all.
But she was adamant that she was cleaning. 

Inspection later in the day proved my suspicions correct. 
Obviously cleaning means something else to Anastasia 
lol




Poor Trixe was exhausted. 
All the girls learn that if Trixie goes into her bed to leave her alone. 
She frequently went back to her bed during the day 

Daddy has picked her up and taken her home 
By the end of the day she was definitely feeling much better. 
She looked much better than she did on Friday 
Most of the afternoon was Ana walking around the house singing “ let it go” at the top of her voice. 
She only knows let it go and repeats it for what seems like hours! 

Grandma definitely needs an early night tonight, that’s for sure

Winter is coming, Maybe


The nights and mornings have been quite chilly. 
As my home is made using besser bricks, I do know they’re known by another name in the USA but I can’t remember it right now 
It gets cold in here quickly. Great in summer, not so much in winter 




I decided to light the fire last night, and this morning, it’s still going. 

It was a cold foggy morning so it was needed 



Perfect weather for slow cookers 
The vegetables in here are my frozen summer harvests 
The meatballs were bought ready made. 




I got myself a Mother’s Day gift 
A little loom. I think I’m going to have fun (stress) working it all out. I’ll definitely take pictures of how it’s been set up 



As I was out half of yesterday. I went to my mums to do the shopping with her. I’ll be found doing  very little today. Just what absolutely needs doing. 
And I’ll definitely be staying home 

Because of this I’ve half changed out of my pj’s
The warm pj pants I’m leaving on. 
Add my hairy coo’s slippers
And I’m as happy as a pig in poo lol

The temperature is predicted to be in the low 20’s. But it’s not till later and it won’t last long 




I am so ready for winter. And rain! 
We need lots more rain. 
Could y’all send it my way please. I don’t want to go out and water everything 

Thanks

Anne

It’s been about six months now since we said goodbye to our dear friend Anne 

We decided to have a little get together and have coffee and cookies with Anne 

I made these to take with us



Home made cookies with home made jam 
Anne would of been proud of me 




There is a “living memorial garden “ not far from where we live 

Anne’s ashes have been placed under this tree. It’s her tree and she can have family placed her with her 

You can even have your fur babies as well 




Anne loved her fur babies. She kept the ashes of her two last dogs, which now rest with her 



Her human family will eventually rest her with her. And buddy, the golden retriever who was by her side when she was unwell. 

We hope it’s. Long time before anyone else joins her 

There were five of us sharing coffee and food 
We all shared our stories and laughed. Anne was always saying if doing something silly and we would all laugh at her. 
She laughed the loudest at herself. 

Eventually the weather turn very windy and we packed our picnic and headed home 

It was a lovely way to remember her. Having coffee in the morning just like we did every day after swimming 

She is very much missed by us all

May the fourth

Hubby and I have been pushing way too hard. 
We have decided to just rest today 

Since it’s may 4th here? We decided to watch 
Star Wars 

I’m knitting while watching 

On Friday Ana came to play. 
She’s not been here for two weeks. Between Easter Friday holiday and ANZAC day on the next Friday we missed out on grandma day 

Ana did say  “ I haven’t seen for ages grandma “
And she was correct 

Here she is doing some new jigsaw puzzles I bought 
From Aldi



I did buy other things from Aldi, but that another post 
I wish you all HAPPY MAY THE FOURTH 
Do something spacey to celebrate
