This week for Simple Joys Saturday

As my friends know, we left home last Saturday and travelled for 11 hours, and it was a good trip. We felt great joy attending the Unveiling of a Plaque on Sunday.... see Simple Joys Saturday.  Monday we met up with Barry's son Garry, and had a good visit with him. 
Tuesday we went to a large new town nearby, but were not impressed..... all the parking available to us was 30 minutes, and we had to park about one kilometre away, though it was a blessing that it was free.
We bought a new jumper for Tilda, for the cold weather ahead.

Tuesday Evening we attended the Country Music Evening with new friends we met on Sunday.  It was the most hospitable group we have ever met, we were introduced to everyone.   Afterwards we went up the Blue Mountains to Barry's brother. He waited up for us even though it was after 11.30pm.  It is always good to see him.
Next morning it was so damp, but that keeps the temperature up, and I did pray for it to be mild while we are in the mountains.
Then it was a bright sunny day on Thursday, and we drove to daughters in the afternoon. Along the roadway we saw hundreds of crimson rosellas(pic from internet).

It is wonderful to have this few days with daughter, are so enjoying being with them. It is also great to get online and catch up a bit.

This is what I saw when I got up this morning, see the mist in the valley below my daughter's home, and hearing the chorus of native birds, such a joy.
