Well, its been a little while since I was in blogland. It is school holidays here in South Australia, the students are on school break after their third term at school.
We have been away, I visited my family in MtGambier which is approximately 500 km south of the Riverland.
It was good catching up with them all. We spent time talking and being with each other over a period on one week.
Mum and I did a lot of cooking, as we always do. We made greek style biscuits, Koulouria and paximathia (biscotti) as well as spinach and cheese pittes (pies).
All we had to do was mention what we wanted to make and dad and my sister Liza were off doing the shopping for all the ingredients.
We also caught up with family friends.
Mum, the girls Elleni and Eirene, and I drove to Pt MacDonald and visited Cape Northumbaland. (I think that is the correct spelling). The picture above is of the girls at Cape Northumbaland, it was a very windy afternoon, but the sea was beautiful. We stopped and had fish and chips, there is nothing better than visiting the sea and having fish and chips, whether its summer or winter.
We sat in the car as it was freezing, watched the rough sea and ate.
I managed to get some hand quilting done while I was there, but not that much as we talked, shopped, watch movies, and visited a number of cafes catching up with family and friends and having some great meals with the table set for 10 - 12 each night.
It was back to Renmark on Saturday after a stop at Penola, near Coonawarra.
Cleaned the house on Sunday and back to work today.
I'll be able to do some stitching later in the week I hope.
We do have one more week of school holidays left - we'll see what happens.
I noticed on a number of sites one of them being Covered Porches and Screen Door, the post is ended with 3 things they are grateful for. I think I will end today with the same sentiment.
1. The love of my family
2. my children
3. peace
They all came off the top of my head with out any thought.
Blessed be
Poppy
