Silent Sunday ~ A New Friend for Bronte
Category: new beginnings
First Day of School!
Today was my granddaughter’s first day at “big school”. She was met there by my grandson, who is two years older and this year begins grade 2.
Our family has a long history with this school – my own children went there, and some of the same teachers who taught my children are now teaching my grandchildren.
And so the formal learning journey for this little lady begins. ❤
Misty Morning ~ and An Announcement!
First, the formalities. We had another gorgeous misty-morning view of the valley and mountain today …
Now to the announcement –
Introducing the newest addition to my family! ❤ My eldest daughter gave birth to a 10lb. 3oz. baby boy on Tuesday morning, a baby brother to two-year-old Aurora. Baby is well, and his parents and big sister are absolutely besotted.
His name hasn’t been decided on yet, so he is currently known as “baby boy”. Only one name remains on the original list of possibles, but another name was added yesterday for consideration. Needless to say, I am totally in love with this gorgeous little man. ❤
Today …
… a day to remember.
And it’s 11:30pm and I have just finished emptying every-single-thing out of my old kitchen.
Tomorrow, the renovation begins! 🙂
Australia Day 2021
26 January 1788
In the evening of the 26th the colours were displayed on shore, and the Governor, with several of his principle officers and others, assembled round the flag-staff, drank the king’s health, and success to the settlement, with all that display of form which on such occasion is esteemed propitious, because it enlivens the spirits, and fills the imagination with pleasing presages. ~~ Except from Journals of the First Fleet, Arthur Phillip and Watkin Tench.
And so began the development of the country – Australia – into what it is today. ❤
