Seriously??: Cough!

Okay, I nearly choked when I realised it is nearly two years since I last posted. Mind you, in that time, quite a lot has happened in our family!

A quick summary of events: (not necessarily in chronological order)

We have sold our business. Jeff retired in September last year and I got to stay on at work for 8 more months. Lucky me. I finally finished in May this year.

Gilly, my BFF and I spent 3 1/2 weeks in April and May 2010 meeting up with friends in the USA and had a blast of a time. We met some amazing people and saw some amazing sights. We are looking forward to going back in October 2012.

Gilly's eldest daughter got married in October 2010, which resulted in me embellishing Caris's wedding dress for her. A job done with much love. The wedding was a fabulous event and the happy couple are still in bliss 12 months later.

The other thing that occurred because of the wedding is that the Ushers finally have a family photo with all the family members together!

Matt has changed jobs. He is now working as an advertising sales rep for Community Newspapers in Perth. He and his girlfriend Kerry Anne are now living together. Great news. Jeff and I both adore Kerry Anne.

Michael has also changed jobs. He is now working for AARnet as an IT guy. He has a new girlfriend too. We have only met Amy a couple of times but she seems lovely.

Chi the cat is still soldiering on. He is 16 now and a little arthritic but is enjoying having Jeff and I home most of the time. Jeff is spoiling him rotten. Honestly, who feeds their cat camembert cheese? Please!!

Plans for the future? Right now, we are just taking it a day at a time. Jeff is happy working on the garden and riding his bike. I am happy researching the family tree and finishing off the pile of unfinished quilts I have accumulated over the years and also starting some new projects.
