Hi everyone

Hope you are all well and happy.
Well nothing has slowed down here. In fact it is getting busier.
I have at least 7 weddings a week now and I am starting my Funeral Celebrants course.
Amazing how many people get married during the week.
I am booked out until July next year.
I am rarely home anymore.
I just purchased a few wishing wells to hire out to clients for their weddings.
I had a client take one to theirs and everyone just placed money into the well and then it was donated to charity afterwards.
I thought this was a great idea for a couple entering their second marriage and had two houses full of furniture.
If you dont want to donate you can just keep the cash that people have placed in the well and buy yourself a wedding gift or put it towards a honeymoon.
They look bigger than they are...They fit easily on the back seat of a car.


Well it is late here so I am heading off to bed. Hugs all and take care

Hello


Sparky I was hoping he would come over but he just looked at us, sniffed the air, am sure he knew us and then let me take his pic before he wandered off with the girls.


The difference between a Kangaroo and a wallaby is size, wallabies are much smaller and the nose is broader and shorter. Wallabies are widely distributed across Australia, particularly in more remote, heavily timbered, or rugged areas.
Kangaroos are more widely found on the great semi-arid plains because they are larger, leaner, and more fleet-footed than Wallabies.


Hi everyone. I hope you all have had a wonderful Easter.
Everyone here is fine and kicking along well.

Sparky is having a wonderful time in an enclosure with all females at the Zoo.
The weather is cooling down and we are all hoping for rain and lots of it. The drought has got everyone down and we are all tired of brown grass although much better than the burnt foliage that is very prominent at the moment.

Cassie and Esch are fighting fit and Kirsten has turned 18 years old. She now has her drivers licence and has moved out of home.
It frightened me at first that she wanted to leave home so soon but I know she will be fine and she hasnt moved far.
My father has cancer and she moved in with him. Not because he needs anyone to assist him but because she wants to spend as much time as possible with him. They are and have always been inseperable.
I am hoping she will move back in time but I kow she wont. She is far too independant and self reliant. I am proud to have raised her to be able to stand on her own but the mothe rin me is slapping myself for it.
I do worry she is burning the candle not only at both ends but in the middle as well.
She is in her final year of school and we all know that is full of study during and after school as well as in your dreams, but she is also busy with her horses and riding lessons for children, she has 3 students she is teaching music to after school and on weekends and also a part time job at a hardware store of all places and then she has her music studies and the Youth Orchestra on top of it all.
I dont know how she does it but she is never contactable.
I didnt get to see her for Easter, and I never got to see her for her birthday. She had a "party" with her friends, organised all the details herself. I have spoken to her and she said she had a wonderful time with 2 of her closest friends when the others left.
She popped in briefly to collect her birthday present but I wasnt at home so she grabbed the gift and left me a note LOL. It has hurt a little as I wanted to give her a nice party but she is happy.
She is looking at buying herself a small 2 bedroom unit close to the stables. So I am hoping to at least help her out with that, if she will let us. Still no boyfriend and still not interested. Smart girl!!

So all my children are now considered adults.
This is the time for me apparently. But what am I going to do with this time.
I am single, available as always and still overly fussy.
My work is keeping me incredibly busy. I am surprised at how many people contact me in a week for wedding ceremonies. I am starting to turn people away because I have bookings now a year in advance.

A celebrant isnt a great way to meet other singles. Most weddings I am invited to attend the reception afterwards but have to refuse so I can move on to the next ceremony. By the end of the day a party is the last thing I want to be going to so I am home and beleive it or not usually in bed by 11.

I miss chatting with everyone on here so much and think of everyone often. I hope you are all happy and healthy.

So Busy

Hi everyone, If anyone still reads this lol.
I have been so busy the last few weeks I am slowly building the wedding business and that keeps me on my toes.
After being in hospital from the hot oil burns to the arms I have had many things happening. I took Cassie and Esch for a drive to see how much damage there was out there from the fires and we found a very thin injured roo. So we collected him up in a blanket and bought him home with us, named him sparky as he had a lot of spark burns on his fur.
After taking him to the vet we spent the next week or so feeding and caring for him, Cassie had the unwelcome job of washing him.
Washing a roo isnt an easy task so after several attempts in the bathtub and under the house outside she decided the best way was to take him to the outside bathroom and put him in the shower and close the door.. Poor Sparky.
After Sparky upended the coffee table in the living room we decided it was better that he go to the Zoo before he caused injury to Esch or more damage to himself. He is on a special diet and in solitary confinement until he is strong enough to join the others and they have eliminated any diseases he may have.

I do miss him though it was kinda nice having a roo sleeping on the end of the bed in his little bag and bottle feeding was fun.
It wasnt until after he was picked up that we realised we hadnt taken any pics of him so once he is allowed out of solitary we hope to go visit and get some pics.


This week we held a memorial and funeral service for my Aunts and Uncles lost in the fires. It was nice to finally have closure.
Without going into detail all of their remains were not there so it was very hard to sit through the services and remain calm.

Well off to bed for me. But before I go Congratulations to Grandma AK and Grandpa Buns...
