I just LOVE your little family: Fox is certainly a boy and of course our grands are far advanced, lol! Thanks for all your visits. I certainly enjoyed your followers' comments here on this post! Hope to find out why I cannot see your blog on my dashboard. Sorry to hear Bill has the sniffles. Hope he's better soon.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11666316882168582862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8856747756759071827.post-42290475675893493432012-07-08T00:48:38.872+10:002012-07-08T00:48:38.872+10:00What beautiful children!

Also we dyed courtesy of lemon juice and some other substance our hair to be blonde - surfie blonde! Surely you must remember those days???<br />Sometimes you did end up with a green tinge, but that was acceptable.<br />So I am not bald. The good thing is that you don't have to comb your hair. Saves energy!<br />Also then we were respectful, otherwise the Police would give you a quick kick up the arse and march you home. None of this silly business that goes on now. Strange, isn't it? We all survived to become better citizens.<br />Maybe sense will prevail again, I hope, but I suspect you and I, Bill and Diane will be kicking up daisies.<br />Cheers<br />Colin ( He with the beautiful #5)Colin (HB)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8856747756759071827.post-58116280590377720582012-07-07T12:51:21.081+10:002012-07-07T12:51:21.081+10:00Love the photos Diane, those grandsons of yours ar...Love the photos Diane, those grandsons of yours are adorable and what a wonderful time you must have had them them and with the rest of your family.

I read once that the times people catch colds etc most often are when they are under 5, their kids are under 5, or their grandkids are under 5.

Are you reading Grosvati?<br />Furthermore, dearest,sweetest "Sis", did you do a tree/shrub count at the Hunter Valley estate? I wish to know the heights,widths,losses and living. I think there are about 100 to count. If I am sent out to do this Hunter River estate duty, I think the two of you should have done the same. Plus the pulling away of weeds near the roots! <br />Also I went to the "shearing shed" today for a #5 all over haircut, I think it is about time young Fox went also.<br /><br />Anyhow great to know you are safely back in the new car, I suppose your garden is now awaiting a lot of attention?????<br />Welcome home<br />Cheers<br />Colin ( he, with an abmirable haircut at last!)Colin (HB)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8856747756759071827.post-41132218645729801122012-07-06T17:16:56.619+10:002012-07-06T17:16:56.619+10:00Well, for goodness sake - I BEAT COLIN!
