End of term

Well, today is the end of term and our last KYB study on Matthew. I just love my KYB ladies, they are so encouraging, caring and committed to their faith! I will surely miss seeing them over the next 2 weeks. Next week end is Easter, it is hard to believe it is nearly here already. Karen & Robert are coming for Easter, it will be great to see them again. Today is also our wedding anniversary so we went out for dinner, very nice, now I think it's time I went to bed.

An amazing Day

Last Monday was Labour Day here in Victoria, so we had a lovely long weekend. Then my week became very busy, I had to reorganise my days so as to be able to go to Bendigo on Thursday. It was a special day celebrating the 50th anniversary of CWCI (Christian Women Communicating International), they are the organisation who first set up the KYB study groups. I was amazed to hear that this began here in Australia and has now spread to many other countries!! But I'm jumping ahead of myself, firstly I had to get up at 5.30am to be on the bus at 7.15, we arrived in Bendigo at the huge Baptist Church complex about 9.40, we were served a delicious morning tea, then it was into the day's proceedings. We had a wonderful day of singing, a guest speaker from USA who spoke on "Living in Jesus' abiding presence", and a Christian bookstall (always very popular).More delicious food was served for lunch and afternoon tea, then it was back on the bus and home about 5.40pm. We were tired but exhilarated, next morning it was walking at 6.30 as usual, then off to KYB at 9.15, it was great to be able to share all of this experience with the ladies who couldn't make the trip!

Great weekend

What a lovely weekend! Friday we drove down to Melbourne and stayed overnight with Fiona and Richard, then Saturday morning we picked up Karen and Rob to drive down to Churchhill in Gippsland. We went there to attend Karen's graduation where she received her degree in business and economics!! It was a very hot day but none-the-less enjoyable. Saturday evening back in Melbourne the six of us all went to a wonderful Italian restaurant for dinner - Yummy!! It was a wonderful family time together, we were sorry we had to return home Sunday so Peter could go to work - driving the truck to Melbourne of course!!! This morning, it was back to walking at 6.30 am, now I'm just a bit tired, but I will recover soon.

Shrove Tuesday / pancake day!

I don't really have time to write tonight, it's a bit late after watching Dancing with the stars!! Anyway, did you have pancakes today? We had them for dessert tonight - yummy. My blood test results were very good so I could afford to have a little splurge!! It's great to see you have a blog Kristin. We'll be busy commenting, it'll take me all night to keep up with everybody!! Well I'm babysitting at a Christian young Mum's group with Kath tomorrow morning, then at Tepper's late afternoon, so I'd better go to bed, it's a busy life!

Fridays are special

I just love Fridays! It's KYB day and I love spending time in God's Word and with the beautiful Christian ladies who come along every week. We have a great range of ages, from young Mum's to 70+, we are blessed in having a creche so the young Mum's are able to enjoy the study without the usual interruptions of small children and babies. We are so blessed in this country to have the freedom to study, hear and do God's Word!! God is good, praise His holy name!!

Morning Walks

Another week is gone and I ask myself what have I done? Well, I must say, I do enjoy the early morning walk every weekday morning with my sister, Kath. We walk from 6.30a.m - 7.30a.m, it's so beautiful out there enjoying God's creation, there's something about early morning - peaceful - the only hard part is getting out of bed!! We started nearly a year ago, because of health reasons for me, now it's just part of daily life. I better finish up for now because getting up that early requires one to go to bed at an earlier time!!

What a great weekend, except for the heat of course!! I really don't like it when the temperature gets up to 40 and over!! Karen & Rob, Peter & I went to Murrabit market yesterday morning before it got too hot, stayed in under the air conditioner all afternoon than went to the Pasta Inn for tea - yummy. Fiona & Richard had their usual breakfast at Spoons, then we all had lunch at home. Now every one has gone home and Peter in the truck, still very hot.
