98/365 Library Visit

Gosh I love Sundays.  I do have a bit of a routine list I need to work through on a Sunday.  I need to do the washing, usually the ironing but not today as we are still on school holidays and the menu planning.  I generally take the day slowly and with only a few things to do today we all decided it was time to revisit the library.  The library is such a wonderful place to visit and I managed to find another great selection of books to look at for the month.  Did you have a nice weekend?

97/365 Friends

I had the most wonderful day today.  My friend sent me a message the other day and said how about catching up over the holidays.  I replied back quickly by saying yes I would love that a lot.  Sometimes we to and fro a little and then we end up having the idea but never follow through.  It was funny I was only thinking of her and was going to message her to see how she was.  So when she said lets meet up I said when.  The stars aligned and we got to meet up today, it had been a while.  We had such a lovely day, just the two of us, chatting and eating and looking in a few shops.  It was so good to finally get to see each other again, I do hope we can do it again soon.

Hit the road Jack

It's a funny tune originally sung by Ray Charles, that without fail my hubby sings when we're about to go out in the car for a long drive, I think his Mum used to sing it too:)  Today we did indeed hit the road and headed out west.  The girls finish their holidays this week so we thought that today would be a great day to go on an adventure together and keep the weekend free so we can get ready for the school/work week ahead.  We've thought about visiting the Jondaryan Woolshed for a while but just haven't gotten around to doing it, I'm so glad we did today.  To break up the long drive we stopped off at a little town called Oakey for a play in the park and a bit of morning tea. 
We then made our way to the woolshed and took in all that it had to offer, visiting the animals and walking through all the old buildings admiring the old wares and talking about what it may have been like to live there. 


Back in the car again and onto our next destination, Dalby.

There were lots of photo opportunities along the way, I found these power lines a little unusual, not sure why they are built on an angle.  Also the wide open spaces I enjoy seeing, I'm always amazed at how big our country is.
One of my memories as a child visiting Dalby was stopping by the side of the road and picking some cotton, so we had to do that today. 

Lunch in the park was had at our final stop, Dalby, by that stage we were all feeling weary so we had a short walk down the main street, and most importantly the antique shop where I found this old milk bottle. It's now sitting on my desk, next to the bowl awaiting the next treasure, maybe another adventure?
Have you been adventuring lately? Do you have any favourite spots you like to visit?

May your Saturday be sparkling

A trip out west just because....a play in the park, homemade chocolate slice and lemon cake followed by a salad roll, simple good times to remember.
