Thousand Word Thursday 3

Thursday has rolled around again, were I Find myself looking for a pic that means a lot to me and playing Thousand Word Thursday with toushka one of many wonderful twitter friends. The idea is to find a photo that has meaning for you, place it on your blog then write while it has meaning then to post a link to it on toushka website. 

Won't you please join us in sharing your pics would love to see some pics

This was a school picture take of me when I was year 2 of School down in New South Wales, the reason this picture has a special place in my heart is it's the only picture I do have me as a young girl as I lost of lot of my pictures when I split from my ex (the guy I was going with before I meet the guy I am with now) 

It brings back a lot of memories both of good and bad times at school, the games I played with friends, the teachers I had, the school I loved sometimes I want to be that age again just for the school part of it I really loved school & still love to learn.

I wish my hair was still as blonde as that but over the years it's naturally turned a browny colour. I still try to keep it long I always loved long hair, sometimes I do get my hair cut short but for the most part its always long


Have you got a pic to share?

Thousand Word Thursday 2

Nana,Uncle Bob and MotorbikesLady Dec 1987

Thursday has rolled around again, were I Find myself looking for a pic that means a lot to me and playing Thousand Word Thursday with toushka one of many wonderful twitter friends. The idea is to find a photo that has meaning for you, place it on your blog then write while it has meaning then to post a link to it on toushka website.

This picture was taken in Feb 2007 down in Penrith NSW at the back of Nana's place, it's of my nana, uncle (dad's side of the family) and me. The last time I saw my Nana and Uncle before this photo was taken was back in December 1987.

I love my Nana and Uncle with all my heart, I phone them every month to see how they are getting on and I am lucky enough to have a wonderful guy in my life who took me down in June 2010 for four days to see them. Every time I look at this picture all these different emotions over come me but they are all good emotions. 

Nana is in her 80's now but hopefully I will have her for at least a few more years yet when she does pass it will be a very sad day in my life.  My Uncle Bob is in his early 50's and takes really good care of my Nana.

There was 5 kids in the family all up, My dad, My Uncles Warren & Bob plus my two Aunties Patrica (she passed away while still a baby) and Roslyn. My first grand dad who I never meet passed away from a heart attack at 38 years old (when my dad was a teenager) then Nana remarried again while my father was still a teenager (before I was even born) so the guy I always knew as grand dad was in a way really my step grand dad. 

He passed away a few years back now & had a good life even fighting in World War 2 as part of the Rats of Toburk, next time we go to Sydney I'm hoping to pay a visit to his grave to take some pictures. 

Thousand Word Thursday 1

What is Thousand Word Thursday, a friend of mine started you can see her blog here bascially now you find a fav pic of your and link to it with some info.


My fav pic is the one above of the families cat Felix, I have called it "Felix The Lover" as it looks like his waiting for a female friend to be with him.

The picture was taken by my oldest daughter just after we got Felix from the RSPCA Queensland back in 2003 he was 6 months old at the time, we would have loved to been able to get his brother Snowy as well but we are renting and told we were allowed one cat.

Every time I see Felix I'm pleased that we rescued him for the RSPCA in Queensland but I also do wonder what happen to his brother and hope he found a lovely home just like Felix has.

Fathers/Mothers Day = Parents Day

In our house we don't celebrate Father's Day or Mother's Day instead we call it Parent's day, why Parents day you ask?

Well families these days are not made up of just a Dad or Mum anymore, families are all different these days you can have two guys/ladies raising a kid(s) or a single parent family.

With our step daughter having friends that cover all these types of families we thought to hell with fathers/mothers day lets just have a parents day.

That doesn't mean our daughter misses out of Fathers/Mothers Day stalls at school she still shops there & the presents go away till we have parents day.

Also it means we can go out for a meal or buy a present for parent's day & not have to pay an arm or leg like you do when it comes to Fathers/Mothers Day.

Our daughter is not missing out but we are just combining two wonderful days into one.

Is anyone else game enough to ditch Fathers/Mothers Day & just have a parents day?
