My Five Thoughts Friday

# 1. After more than usual sickness this Winter, we are back singing at Aged Care this week, and what a Blessing it has been. Big genuine hugs from staff, residents singing along, lovely comments and even our photo in a little inhouse newsletter. Praise the Lord.

# 2. I have not been on here as much as usual, because apart from singing the last two days, and again tomorrow, I have been sorting out clothes at the end of the Winter season, and also starting preparations for a trip away to one of the Festivals we attend. I will tell you all about it soon. 

# 3. It's time to start making lists to make sure we don't forget anything important. I went to the retreat two weeks ago without the one medication I take, and have to make sure nothing like that happens this time as we will be away for two and half weeks.

# 4. So thankful we can get away sometimes, though I do miss my regular online friends and sites. When we go to Sydney we can get WiFi now, but not, as far as I know,  in QLD, so I will be making sure I have reading material and knitting on hand.

# 5. One thing I am looking forward to is taking a lot of photos, as I have enjoyed posting them, but I do need a new supply.

We will be going through the area where this photo was taken: near Texas QLD.

Love and God Bless - Jan

I remember my trips to FNQ. I don't remember going through Texas :-) I hope you remember everything you need and that you will enjoy your trip.

Hello... I am a new blogger and discovered your link on Christian Women Online! What a blessing your posts are! I especially loved your picture of the sunset; they have been very special to me and my family this year. I recently posted about sunsets and lists too! Here's another thing we have in common; my family is also heading to a weekend festival called Pickin' in the Panhandle! (We are in WV, USA)! It was nice meeting you!

I am sure your "fans" were glad you both were back!

Change of seasons clothes sorting...what fun...not! But it is a blessing to have clothes to sort, period!

Enjoy the festival...we will be waiting to hear about it!
