My NEW Adventure - Part 3

Next it was tackle the inside of the workshop.. well to a degree where I could walk around and find things


 not that I know one motorbike part from another.. but at least all my hose fittings etc are easily found

My NEW Adventure - Part 2

I had my lovely friend Roz come and visit over Easter and family came also to lend a hand for a day. It took a long time to clean up eventually but I took one day at a time.. the physcial work was the worse as I am not a strong woman in muscle sense and I suffer many bruises and gashes and even a broken toe.. after everyone was gone I just wished I had an extra 2 arms as 4 hands were needed for a lot of the jobs but I had to make do on my own... it got done (slowly) much to the detriment on my poor aching body LOL




Then slowly I had to sell some of the bigger items like the excavator and bobcat .. to help pay the bills that were mounting..




MY NEW ADVENTURE - Part 1

It all happened so fast.. diagnosis Cancer.. treatment NONE.. too far gone.. so 20 days later he left this world.. albeit pain free now.. what do I do now? I just lost the love of my life, my best friend, my soul mate. I was only 57.. expected to grow old with this special man.. life can be so cruel at times.. even when you have never done anything wrong.

So I threw myself into our property.. 1. because it needed a bit of a clean up from hoards of stash that had built up since 1999 when we bought the property.. and 2. because I needed the distraction.

First things first.. this had to be cleaned up




So 2 friends come and stay a week and they helped me sort through some of this stuff and put aside what needed to go to the scrap yard...  Then it was back to myself and after more sorting and 5 truck
 loads later.. 7 car bodies and scrap metal all gone to another home.

Its with much Sadness

Its with much sadness that I announce the passing of my beloved husband Garry to terminal cancer only 20 days after initial diagnosis
He was such a wonderful man, kind, giving, and treated me like a queen for the nearly 17 years we were together
Always in my heart babe

Happy Australia Day

Australia "home" there is no place I'd rather be!
We all manage to come together and battle through her harsh climate of fire, floods and drought, it brings out our Aussie Spirit and that's what it's all about.
Today we celebrate with pride that we are the people of a wonderful land, 
where a beer and barbie go hand in hand.
Known as the lucky country no matter where your from, 
lets hope we can keep it that way for generations to come.
Happy Australia Day !!!!!!
