Mum's Day 08


A few things my Mum loves: antique bargains, photos of cool bridges, beautiful trees, Rummingking, tea in bed, a good book, clean schnauzers, Us (boy does she show it!), when Dad doesn't fall asleep on the couch, laughing till she cries (that's where I get it from), adventure on a sunny day, bon fires, her wipper-snipper and blower vac, yellow gumboots, lunch with her Ya-Ya's, acts of service and especially having all the family home!!! We love ya Mum!!



"Wilhelmina all the way!"

So on Sunday, we pulled our sorry heinies out of bed at 6am to take our lovely Mum up to my favourite mountain cabin at Goomallurra Falls for breakfast... she loved it!

And the best way to my Mum's heart... her favourite game of Rummingking (visitors to Villa le Rolle have experienced the phenomena that is Rummingking with Mum)... but we didn't let her win even though she usually kicks ass!!





Dad trying to imitate the 'happy face'... he doesn't normally look this special.

Mum usually wins so this was hilarious when Be won in one turn and left Mum with a board full - she was "Not happy Jan!"
(this shot's for you serg - Dad's idea!)




We climbed this hilltop when I was a kid in the early 90's and still wearing parachute trackies. Now it's private property with a electric fence and a sign that says "Warning BULL - keep out!" So I jumped the fence and hedged my bets it was a bluff - sure enough... no bull!


And here was another Mother up a pole!...


Hope you enjoy the love from my fam to yours!! Hope all the Mum's out there had the best day ever!

Bringin it back...

After an early call back to Nashville this morning, my day was lifted when I was shown this youtube... what a spin!!

The American Idol finale all finalists singing 'Shout to the Lord'... wow!!! You know America is a different place when this is on TV!! Regardless of whether the individuals meant the words or had a faith in the Saviour they were singing praises, I was blessed and there was worship in da house!!! Maybe the vibe from the legit choir carried it through!!

They called it the 'Idol Gives back' performance and at this early start of my day my cup overfloweth!!


Bring it back to worship today! Bless ya!

I have ADHA and I'm proud of it!

Last night at church, we had an inspiring speaker from London, Dave Gilpin. Not only has he just sold 100 slogans against beige to IKEA for $120,000 (my kind of dude!) but he challenged everyone to see our weaknesses not as the world might see them (as a disorder to shun and be embarrassed by) but to splash a little heaven perspective on it and see them as strengths.

For example I might not have ADHD... I have ADH-A! Attention Deficit Hyperactivity ASSET!! God so see's strength in our weakness... now we have to follow suit!

This YouTube he showed highlighted his point brilliantly!! I want to watch it over and over and totally wanted to punch the air in enthusiam with the crowd!! But that might be awkward... hee hee! Watch on...


Couldn't wait to share it with you all too!! Happy ADHA day!
