Thursday night, we went over to Verity's parents place for a little party for Kobie. It was a nice family one with sausage rolls, little boys, fairy bread and an Iggle Piggle birthday cake. The birthday boy stayed up long enough to have a little to eat, accept his gifts and play in the cake, then he had a spa and was off to bed!
Friday we took a heap of fish and some squid to sister Glenda's to share for lunch. Glenda had also done a lovely smoked trout pate-about 12 of us were there. We ate dinner with Mel and Michael at their cabin in the caravan park that night.
On Saturday it was my birthday. My son Mick had suggested we go out to Chinese-15 of us had a really good night at Traralgon Lion City. On Sunday, Daniel decided a family BBQ/picnic would be fun at Newman Park. It has good BBQs and a great playground so about 20 of us had a fun time there. It's especially fun to watch Kobie enjoying the swings and slides now! We had a couple of quiet nights Sunday and Monday night.
On Wednesday after baby sitting Kobie for the day, we had dinner with old friends Ruth and Bob Duljas. Thursday, we sat Kobie in the morning, then drove to Sale via Maffra, then home along the highway. I used to live in a number of small towns in the area, so I always enjoy a look around. I was rapt to get a couple of replacement pieces for a new dinner set we bought in Tasmania at Sale's Target store (one was missing and one broke being carted all over the place on rough dirt roads). Thursday night we had dinner with another old friend Christine and husband Gary and her two daughters Dee and Shannon and SHannon's husband George. I met Chris at my 21st when the girls were 2 and 6, they are 35 and 39 now. We had dinner at Shannon's beautiful new home and about a million drinks. It was a very late night (morning), a taxi ride home and a very slow day Friday with dinner out at la Porchetta but home to bed by 8.30.
I cooked dinner for the four of us at Glenda and Peter's on Saturday night, then today we drove to Port Fairy stopping for lunch with daughter in law Leah in Melbourne. I'm working for Kirstyn at the B&B in the morning (poor girl has a cold) and dinner out tomorrow night with Paul and Wendy (who we met in Tas).
I was pleasantly suprised with the Park Lane Caravan Park. We've spent an awful lot of time in parks over the last three years and it was one of the very better ones-really clean amenities, nice pool, spa, mini golf, good play ground and good sized sites. I'd be happy to stay there any time.
Now we are hoping the titles come through for our house this week and we can settle up and start moving in.
