The Spider Around the Corner
If this thing moves closer to our house, I won’t be able to sleep at nights!
Scones for John
Tea is an important item in the house. Having fun things to eat with the tea can be a bonus. So, I made John scones to have with his tea. He was right, they tasted much like my mom’s biscuits. Basic Scones Recipe: Ingredients plain flour, for dusting 3 cups...
Bus Tour on Rottnest Island
After our adventure boat ride, we hopped on a bus for our tour of the Island on dry land. I guess it was too late for some, we were the only two people on the bus.
Adventure on Rottnest
After taking the ferry ride to Perth, and getting there late, we had no time to waste climbing aboard our next tour, the Adventure Tour around Rottnest Island. Basically this was the excitement I had been waiting for all week! And then we took off. It suddenly became crystal clear...
The Ferry To Rottnest
Last weekend we booked a ferry to Rottnest Island and I have to admit, I was very excited about going. To get to the island, one option is the ferry. We chose to leave from Perth. The ferry ride takes 90 minutes. I don’t know where they are going to...

Birthday Sunset
Any day that looks like it might have an interesting sky for sunset, we usually head out to the beach. It was a nice way to wind down John’s birthday.
The Birthday Birthday
This day was John’s actual birthday. He woke up as usual but this time with an excited wife and presents. Of all things, this day was voting day, a state election. We decided to take part in a guided bushwalk and then we would go to vote. As we drove...
The Birthday Before the Birthday
I’ve been known to give my children a birthday week, not just a birthday day. Sometimes it’s even felt like a birthday month. I wouldn’t love on my husband any less, and he had a birthday week. All week he had special things prepared for him and such. So, a...
John Forrest National Park
Often when John takes me somewhere, I think of my children, if only they could see this…but today, I REALLY thought of my kids. They love a nice hike and the prospects I saw for Enric to enjoy mountain biking were abundant here in John Forrest National Park. John Forrest...
The Collection
After some hard work getting ready for the greens collection, we were ready for it to be picked up. Even though it was a holiday for most (Labor Day), the truck with workers arrived. I leaned that in Australia, this is what a rake looks like: A little different from...
One Year Anniversary
We reached the one year mark. We spent the whole day together, which was present enough for me… I guess as a wife I passed the test, and now we have a bank account together 🙂 So that was the first order of business, and the rest of the day...

Caversham Wildlife Park (part 3)
What’s a visit to Caversham without seeing the blue fairy wrens that roam about freely? John got a movie. 🙂 I couldn’t help but wonder if Silas would be fascinated…or upset to see the eagle eat the baby chicken. I loved watching them play, wishing Mom could see… The...
