Long Weekend, Kenilworth Quilt Show and More ...

We went to Rick and June's at Imbil for the June long weekend and had a lovely time. Hans, Marg, Phil, Kym, Mike, Narelle with their son Aaron, Tony and his kids Ashley, Zac and Teanna were there as well, we were camped all over the place, luckily they have acreage. We had a fire each night that usually needed a lot of help to get going.


Here's a photo of the fellows hard at work bending the elbow and exercising the jaw.


On that same weekend the Kenilworth Quilters had their quilt show so on Sunday morning four of us gals headed off to take a look. Some beautiful work. Here's just a couple to whet your appetite.

All right I can't count.

The driveway and path are finished and looks fantastic. In these photos the blokes are still hard at work.

After the weekend Ian and I had to head down to the Sunshine Coast for a couple of appointments - Ian for the dermatologist (gave us some good news and a script for a sun spot cream) and I finally had my colours done at Kerryn's Fabric World in Prinder Ave Maroochydore. A lovely lady who truly enjoys her work. I am a Cool Deep and I now know everything to know about making myself look slimmer and taller. Now to put it all into practice.

While we were down there Ian finally made the decision to trade in his ute. Last month we were trading in my commodore, but the ute needed some repairs done that were going to cost MONEY and so we started looking. Here is a photo of the old girl.

We had a good look at a yard in Buderim and found a 2001 Toyota GXL wagon and even took it for a test drive, then Ian crawled under and said we wouldn't be buying this one. He said that the chassis had swelled with rust and the threads on the bolts just came off on his fingers. Was a nice looking vehicle and in our price range too. While we were there we met Frank who was also looking for a towing vehicle and put us onto one at Ken Mills Nambour, so off we went and ended up buying it. Frank reckons we owe him a bottle of good stuff. This is our new vehicle - well, new to us. A 1999 Toyota GXL Landcruiser wagon with 109ks on the clock - just run in.

We have had her for a week now and she runs well and is lovely to travel in, nice and smooth compared to the ute. The only problem we have now is NO ute. On our way home from Nambour I picked up 4 Pekins (chooks) and of course they had to travel in our new vehicle. On the Sunday after we got home I had to have son-in-law Pete bring a bag of horse manure over on his truck 'cause I wasn't allowed to put it in the back of the wagon. I think we need a trailer!
