WHERE DOES THE TIME GO?

Just a few words now that I've got back in here.  Have to collect my thoughts.

ON THE MIGHTY CLARENCE

We've had a lot of fun with four or five camping trips to our new venue on the Clarence River.

This river is over 400 kms long and rises in south east QLD continuing into northern NSW, entering the sea at Yamba/Iluka.  Our area would be about a third of the way along the river.

It is a great place for the dogs, and canoeing/kayaking.  More soon, hopefully.

OUR MAIN MUSIC

We seldom take our camera to our concerts at the Aged Care homes these days, so am very pleased to have this photo. We go there on the second Tuesday every month.

We average four per month these days, three regulars and usually an extra invitation comes in that we accept.  It is such a blessing to sing for the residents, though sad to see younger dementia patients, and even some residents younger than us. They are so pleased that we share with them, and we have fun too. 

Our Music with Friends Strumalong Group is still increasing with nearly forty members,  and averaging attendance of thirty, as there is always some away, or taking grandchildren to sporting fixtures and other commitments. 

Our friend that we play in church with has been overseas so we have had a break, and will resume in a few weeks.  

Love and Blessings

BACK TO TOONUMBAR

Psalm 104:24 - O LORD, how manifold are your works! In wisdom has thou made them all: the earth is full of your riches.

We returned to Toonumbar Dam at the end of April. The days were glorious, and there was torrential rain on the Friday night which did not affect us, but flooded areas to the south.

QUICK FAMILY TRIP

In April my pics tell me we made an overnight trip to the Gold Coast to say farewell to Emi as she made the trip back to Europe to see her Mother.

We had a nice walk to the nearby man-made lake as the afternoon closed in.

We didn't come prepared as the swans and ducks expected some tidbits

A curious lizard.

Always heartwarming and a blessing to see family.

With love,
