Hi Gang!
Dec 27th my backyard. Feb. compliments of Sonya. Ibis birds and of coarse doesn't everyone write notes to their mom at the beach? So I hear you guys are having a mild winter. Haven't you figured it out yet? It is because I am sending you some of my sunshine! You're welcome! I on the other hand have managed to catch a cold. Yes mom it doesn't have to BE cold to catch a cold. I think it has something to do with the germ pit I hang out in. Possums carry germs as well as little bunnies do. Imagine that. My class is having swimming lessons this week. I am guessing that my other class is going skating at the school rink. Talk about your opposite views eh? So my new friends are bringing me oranges, lemons and figs off their trees in their yards! Apparently they don't use Jewish penicillin here to cure the common cold. I even tried a kumquat(???) the other day-whoa talk about pucker power. When ever I feel a slight bit homesick I go to the grocery store in the frozen food section where I stare wistfully at the frozen McCain Pizza-they remind me of Amelia........
So what have you all been up to? Too busy watching the Olympics to write to me? Shish you'd think they only came every 4 years or something. My dear friend Les sent me a box of Olympic special things. I will take a pic to post to show you later. Anyone know when we play hockey next???
OK this sick gal needs to get to bed. Hope you are all well. Please continue to enjoy my sunshine. I am sending lots your way!(at least enough to get it below 30 degrees here)
Hugs and love to you all.
G'Day eh!
Bern
You guessed it, Bern. Glued to the TV watching these magnificent young athletes. Thanks for the sunshine - we've been enjoying days & days here on the 'wet coast'.
ReplyDeleteI'm loving this virtual experience of your life in Australia. Your "Hi Mom!"photo is so cute - takes me back to warm wet sandy beaches I've known.
Get healthy soon.
Love & hugs,
Ann
Mmmmm! "brewer's yeast, celery, onion, salt, and 'a few secret ingredients'" - Vegemite sure sounds... er,... ah,... YECH. Tim Tams sound so much better - what exactly are they? Something like doughnuts? You be sure to eat those get your vitamins C from those oranges and lemons and get better. Oh yeah, don't get dehydrated!
ReplyDeleteHi Irma-google Tim Tams and you will find out that they are the quintesential Oz cookie-or biscuit as the Aussie's say. This last kind were out of this world-choc covered cookie with a filling that tastes like creme caramel-my favourite dessert! Yummy! I also have hazelnut chocolate mouse to try next. I want my cold to be gone by the weekend so I can go on a boat tour looking for dolphins! Friday after school is the anti dehydration therapy-BUT if you stay too long you run the risk of becoming dehydrated for other reasons! LOL
