Elvis Festival Week - Last Week in Parkes before Moving





 Macadamia nuts, chocolate and some frozen pie crust were the bottom of my pantry while trying to get things eaten before we move.  I came up with a chocolate macadamia nut tart.  Very yummy.
 Elvis Festival is on....



Last birthday in our Parkes home.  Bittersweet.

Christmas Holidays 2016

 Christmas Eve admiring the Christmas Tree
 Summer flowers around our garden.

 Christmas morning tea while watching the present opening.
 Surprise pass the electronics down the line.  New used phone,  old phone to second born, ipod touch to last born.  Everyone happy!
 Now begins the hours of trying to assembly elaborate marble roller!
 Christmas Ugly Swim Rashie's.  Or  swimming shirts.



 Pumpkin Pie.....
 Ice Cream truck song was heard so had to run down the lane to get some.
 I have created a monster.  Eric made chicken tenders in the deep fryer a few weeks back and well they tasted exactly like Kentucky Fried Chicken.  He now will not tell me the recipe.   Thought I don't mind him doing the cooking.
 These too have a love hate relationship I caught them at the love stage. 
Now the temperatures are 39C so we are doing a lot of water balloon fights.

1st two weeks of December






 Christmas decorating in the summer with roses blooming.  Kind of throws you but still fun.


 Out and about on some farms during harvesting. 

 Jacaranda trees in bloom.  Purple just a stunning colour on a tree. 
 Then to Cobar to visit daddy and go to some Xmas parties.
