Up and Running Again…

  
listening to: Paul Simon: Surprise..love it!

Well, the site has been down for a couple of days, but everything has been running smoothly for a good number of hours now, so -fingers crossed- it’s all fixed up now. The email list, however, is playing up, so I’m looking into that matter later this week. Of course, I’ll email everyone once it’s fixed, and you can still contact me easily enough if you want to comment on anything or be added to the mailing list.

Spent a lovely couple of days with the Miller Clan, celebrating Melissa’s Birthday! YAY! I gave her a lovely bunch of flowers from the garden, and a card from Cam and myself. Mum made a special roast pork dinner for lunch and a Toblerone cheesecake..Y.U.M.!! Got to hear all about Mel’s trip to the Cook Islands, where she was student teaching, and her new boyfriend. Lots of gorgeous beach pictures, and beautiful people. Loved the pics of Mel wearing a wreath of flowers on her head, looking very tropical indeed!
Adrian and Daniel came over as well, and it was good to catch up with them. Eb was there, too and in the evening, I took out my sketchbook and drew her portrait. I felt pretty rusty, but something about the drawing captured Ebony’s spirit, and Mum and Dad loved it. So I’m copying the original, then giving it to them.

Today we priced scanners, and most of them were $120 or more, and then we stopped at a place that I jokingly call “Dodgy Brothers” for various reasons, but in reality they are nice guys that work there, and my reasons are unfounded. Well, 10 minutes later we not only have a scanner, but it’s also a printer, and can print photos! It was $89! And we’ve tested it (except for the photos on photo paper) and it’s great! We’ve been needing a printer anyway, and just figured it was a low priority at this point because we haven’t used one in all this time. So YAY!!

I bring you my first scanned artwork. Portrait of Ebony:

That’s it for tonight..it’s waaay late..time for bed!

    YAY!!! Isaac says thanks Aunt Amy! It took a little while for me to figure it out, but I had a feeling when I saw the play doh who it was from. Your card came today. Isaac loves his play doh; we had to play with it three different times today(all three of us) I forgot how much fun that can be. Maybe we should take it to mumsy and show her how much fun it is…. hee hee! Thanks again! Can’t wait to talk to you!!! Love,
    Kaffy

    Hi Sweetie, LOVE the sketch of Ebony. My, she must be growing up!! She is a beautiful girl!! Keep drawing.
    Little Isaac is here tonight and Kathy and Allison. They’re at the dining room table with Dad and Dan, having some alcoholic beverages.(everyone but Isaac) Our weather has finally moderated for a few days. The humidity was down and it was in the mid 80’s, just lovely! hugs and kisses to you and Cam and family. Oh yes, your garden flowers are just beautiful!!!!!!!!
