Catching up once again............

 I'm way behind with blogging, I have been reading posts, but not left many comments. Apologies for that.

Have a few minutes sitting and waiting so here is a few recent, (and some maybe not so recent) happenings......

The weather here in South Australia has been very dry so far this year......not much rain recorded at all, lots people are out of rain water.....we did have some stormy weather with lightening and the clouds looked promising, but scant showers......

........and there were a few fires......this was actually 20km away.....

 

***************

I n other news we sold our pop top van......and this was saying goodbye as the new owner took delivery....

***********

I took my 'wares'  to the city for the SA Quilters March meeting as I was the shop for the evening..........I was very happy with sales before the meeting,  and looked foward to more afterwards........sadly the power at the venue went out just before the meeting closed and everyone went home instead of buying more....it was too dark

**********

I will be one of the shops for the Sunraysia quilters show, at Redcliffs on the first weekend of September,  so looking forward to that.

We ventured north for a day trip recently, and decided to try out the track through the Big Desert, which was a much better road than we expected.....and ended up at Murrayville which was the halfway mark to meet Jo and Tony from Mildura.

There were a few camp spots along the track, with toilets and water.....

We took Pat and Alan with us for the drive, and met up with Jo who is handing her quilt to me for quilting. 

We all enjoyed lunch at the local store....

It was lovely to have the lovely Faye Packham and hubby Kim call in for a visit on their way through Bordertown to AQC in Melbourne.......

************

Barry and I did have a few days away in the van......way back in February!! I shall do a separate post about that.....

************

Other news includes recovery from a simple op and LOTS of resting and book reading and being waited on......

Tomorrow we are off up the highway for a very special occasion, and then we hope to pack up the van and head east and then north......

Be back soon

BLESSINGS, From Jude
