Family time
This weekend is Labour Weeekend in New Zealand..its time for family and friends.Everyone has 3 days off work and we all relax.Its the traditional time to plant the summer garden..potatoes,tomatoes,beans peas and corn.There shouldnt be any more frosts.I have some plants to go into the ground and just have to take some time to spread fertiliser..and slug bait.
Its nice to have all the guys at home..except Jake had to work this morning only cos theres a huge hot rod rally in the town where he works and will be a great chance to sell lots of mobile phs which means commission..Yay.Its Ezzies birthday on sunday and he will be 8.Its gone so fast..his first years! I remember so well the early morning arrival of my grandson.His mother was having contractions 4 mins apart and I was saying..get going!! but she was cruisy and wanted a coffee first.She was very relaxed and so was Jake..she had a good birth and that began a great life for Ez.He was a beautiful baby and we loved having a new baby around.
My parents wedding anniversary is on monday.Mum and I will go to Dads grave and sit awhile and put some flowers there.He will see us.I miss my father.
Tonight we will BBQ and I will make some nice salads.James is content enough and reading the papers that the mailman gives him for nothing.
Im going to paint my nails red and apply some fake tan:) I havent sunbathed since I turned 30 and we discovered a huge hole in the ozone layer over NZ..now Im as fake as they come and proud of it!
Have a good weekend ya'll.

I hope you have a great weekend. I keep you in my prayers always.
We're not fake...we're just health conscience.
Sounds like a wonderful weekend is planned. Give Ez a big birthday hug from his auntie in America.
Glad James is having a good time with the papers.
The weather & garden sound lovely. It is in the mid-40's this morning with a strong breeze. Lots of sun though. Fall has arrived in OK & the trees are turning lovely colors.
Take care sister!! I love you!!
Hugs to all of ya'll
Blessed be...
Thanks for visiting my blog :)
And glad the big brown dog wasn`t yours.
Those cherry tree blooms are amazingly beautiful! So full. Have a great holiday weekend.
