So I read there was going to be a celebration of Buddha’s birthday in Perth and expressed an interest in going to John. You see, they were going to have a whole day’s celebration of Buddha’s birthday, and it ended with fireworks, which was my real motivation for wanting to...
Last year the biggest surprise after Horsepower was the how amazing the fireworks were. This year, on our second attempt of that week, I tried to get some photos and a movie. The video camera battery died on me or something went wrong, so here are the photos, and a...
Things you remember as a child… My mom turned on the movie Born Free one evening, she made a big deal out of it, and I was instantly in love with lions and of all things, the Indian Ocean. There was one part of the movie where the lion cubs...
Australia Day, 4th of July, for me, it’s all about the fireworks and always has been. John is learning that I will do about anything to see a good fireworks show. This week at home, (it’s been very hot out, even people who have lived here most of their lives...

Our July 4th started with a sit-down family lunch of Tortilla de Patatas. With everyone’s tummy happy, we decided to get some tennis in before heading out to the harbor. Already happy to have spent most of the day with my two children, I showered and looked forward to meeting...
Yesterday, a day before the usual July 4th celebrations we went to a local park to watch fireworks. This was a tad stressful for me in the sense that years running now, I haven’t really had successful fireworks photographs for my efforts. I am happy to say this year was...
We had a very sweet July 4th. The weather was sunny and great, the pool water was not too cold, and my sister and her husband came (fixed the bathroom fixtures, which was very nice!) and we had a cook out; all the usual, grilled barbecue chicken, hamburgers, corn on...
and...
