Each year it is made available greens verge collection in John’s area. Years ago when I first met John, I didn’t even know what verge meant. Verge = a strip of grass or other vegetation beside a road. I guess we would call it a curbside collection. They are limited...
Over the Christmas Holidays, my mom prepared crescent rolls from a ready made bread from the refrigerator section of the supermarket and they were delicious. When I saw how much John seemed to like them, I dedicated myself to learn how to prepare them from scratch. I looked for a...
The weekend was spent getting up each morning at 5 am to check out sunrises. This day we went to King’s Park. We didn’t just look at the sky, we had an early morning walk around.

The object is to have the best poker hand at the end...
Today after church and relaxing at home, we decided to go to Lake Joondalup. Here are some of the sights, birds, and SPIDERS there! John assured me these were common garden spiders, but they were HUGE and they were many in the woods of Lake Joondalup. John called these snails...
