Will try better next time :)<BR/><BR/>Bush Babe - Dash and Violet will not be jealous of the ant bite 'Salina received.<BR/><BR/>And also to you, Jayne.<BR/><BR/>Debby - I too remember when it was an exciting threshhold to cross.<BR/><BR/>Le - well, you would TRULY understand the whole sugar thing. Like drugs or alcohol and SO UNFAIR (said in the voice of a child).<BR/><BR/>Happy New Year to you too, Mama Zen.<BR/><BR/>Thank you M+B - we did what we could :)<BR/><BR/>Mary - do you know there are folk out here who dream of a little snow?<BR/><BR/>Melody - thank you. I hope the secret is to envisage, because 2009 is the year of the envisage!<BR/><BR/>Happy new day, Alison. Every day thus far has had its features of beauty.<BR/><BR/>Ree - standing invitation. I was going to say house swap but - nah, I don't know how to dig snow except from afar and with someone else wielding the shovel!<BR/><BR/>Stevyn - if it makes you feel better, 3 of the 4 days thus far have been gale force and raining? Of course, the fifth looks pretty perfect thus far...<BR/><BR/>Rhubarb - we are sorry to have not made more of an effort to say g'day to you too. Darned time and motion!<BR/><BR/>Kari - the trick with snakes (well, our varieties) is to make sure they hear you before you see them - then 9 times out of 10 you won't see them.jeaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17322709527738134797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37871177.post-46835057495043339782009-01-04T22:09:00.000+10:002009-01-04T22:09:00.000+10:00It sounds like you all had a good time, however my...It sounds like you all had a good time, however my heart stopped at this section:<BR/><BR/>Quote: "The warning signs advising <B>"Snakes have been sighted in this area"</B> heightened our thrills, as the children (without knees over the age of 20) raced through the obstacle course - forwards and backwards - several times."<BR/><BR/>Happy New Year Jeanie!Karihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16800827994916656927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37871177.post-52527304380586801082009-01-04T20:08:00.000+10:002009-01-04T20:08:00.000+10:00Sorry we missed you, it was so hot and stormy thou...Sorry we missed you, it was so hot and stormy though on the Tuesday, wasn't it!
