Sudokuaholics Anonymous 8

Did you Sis got to the nationals Gail? I got to go to Perth, Adelaide and Brisbane! Don't know how my family afforded it.

Hi Suzy, I can just picture you as a marching girl. My hair still forms ringlets. I did not have curls when I was younger. I always brushed them out. One day, in my early 20's, I went swimming and did not have a chance to brush my hair. My natural curls came out.

Gotta go fling food. I will be back later.

I doubt it Suzy. We were living in Upper Cumbutca West! No-one could get out of there!!!

Um, Upper Cumbutca West? Gonna have to google that...

Tami, if I'm not careful I get ringlets in my fringe! The streaks/highlights I just got help stop that though, a bit straighter with them in.

It somewhere near Oona Whoop Whoop, you know, out the Back O'Bourke!

Hi All! Hope everyone had a chance to reflect on Anzac Day. I am a military wife, so I am very appreciative of the service our military provides. My hubby is retiring from the Air National Guard in August. He was in the Army before we met and Army Nat'l Guard until he switched to AFNG 3 years ago. I am fortunate that he was not deployed overseas during our marriage. We have a friend going to Iraq in June. Have a great day everyone!

Morning...
Suzy...I always wanted to be a marching girl....your last comment summons up why it was but a dream...
BTW I think it is 'AT'...thank you for posting that

Your hubby is a hero to me Suzanne.

Hi all. I posted some pictures on my page (temporarily) of baby Gouldian finches so you can see what they look like. It's hard to believe that anything so gorgeous can start out so homely.

I think he's a hero to us all, Suzanne.

well...it was the last post when I hit submit...this slow connection gave you time to add another 2 comments...probably 3 or 4 by now..
Hi Suzanne
Gail I went to bed early to get up for the dawn service and woke at 7.30...DUH... I wake every other morning without an alarm...why not today?

Because you needed and wanted to Bean! At least the thought was there.
Which service would you have gone to?

Heidi, are these your babies?

Lest We Forget
Good Morning SA8

Ok Heidi, do NOT answer that question!
Should have looked at the pic first.

Hiya Broni. How's the sorting going?

MizT asked what they would look like. Mine haven't hatched yet, if they even do. They eggs are about the size of the fingernail on my little finger. SO tiny!

THEY eggs??????? = The eggs.

Homely is such a good word, it says it all

The opposite of comely!

Morning Zusy, Heidi, MizT, Bean, Suzanne, Tami and Gail (hope I have not forgoten anyone)
Just getting into to the sorting now Gail, so you all have permission to tell me to get back to krow if I hang around too long.
Chicks are amazing Heidi.

I'm SO excited that I might have some of my own in a few days.

Maybe that's why you are all aglow Heidi!

Finally got a parade on TV! I've been waiting and waiting... I know, weird.

News story of the day - not a proud part of Australian history, but something we should remember so nothing like it will happen again..

It's ok Broni, you can sit in my seat. I have to move my fat and spotty and gets some things done around here, like feed the cats, their eyes are boring holes into me, and get hubby a cup of coffee...there's no talking to him till he has one!
Catch you later everyone.

I will keep them in my thoughts while at the march too Suzy.
Thank you for honouring our indigenous servicemen and women.

Gail - I wanted to go into the Shrine..it is so close for me. How about we go together next year...you can have a sleepover here the night before so you don't have to get up so early.

Broni I keep getting an urge to jump on a plane and come and gatecrash your 'do'... you had best send me your address in case the urge gets to much for me!!! I think I will probably go to Cairns instead...a friend has invited me up there for a week in what looks like a very luxurious setting....
If that wasn't a few weeks after your do it wouldn't be such a dilemma....I really should spend the Krudd money on some of the maintenance that is badly needed around the house ....

Stopped by for a minute. Beasties are fed and are in my bed watching a movie. I still have krow to do on the pooter so this way they can hang out with mommy.

Bean you are more that welcome to come up, that would be a hoot!
Making some headway here, whoo hooo!

Thanks for all the comments about the hubby!!! He makes me proud. When we lived in California, I had him wear his dress green uniform to my office Christmas party. He & I were shocked at all the positive comments from my co-workers. He was part of Homeland Security here in Utah. Even though he was not overseas, I am STILL extremely proud of him and proud of my status as a military wife. We have a very close friend going to Iraq in June. I will update with details on that as time gets closer.

Got most of my krow done on the pooter. I can finish the rest Monday or Tuesday. Tomorrow I am going to grade papers.

I am going to watch the rest of the movie with my little beastie boys. Talk to you all tomorrow.

bye tami!!

Anyone want to chat????

Hi everyone.
Just back from the local march which took all of thirty seconds to go past, and that was with all the local scout, guide and brownie troupes marching as well! Dear old Bob was driven in the back of a vintage car, which was very sweet. The service that followed was beautiful and touching.

Hi Gail: Sounds like our Memorial Day parade here. We're in a VERY small town outside of Salt Lake City. Our parade is about 20-30 minutes long. Be proud that you participated. By the way, who is Dear old Bob??

Bob is the current president of our local RSL branch (Returned and Services League). I would imagine he is the oldest ex-serviceman of the area, and he was very shaky in his voice today.
