Yes May 2016 was definitely a busy month! It started with the tidying and sprucing up that goes with having a guest to stay.
Mothers Day lunch at DsD2s place...
And I've already written about those 'cemetery safaris' tracking down family graves.
We took our visitor to museums too...
We got to travel a bit too...
A bit farther away was a trip to Taree in New South Wales...the Manning River district was beautiful.
We enjoyed a few meals out during our Taree sojourn...
My ankle continued to improve and only had light strapping on and even though closed in shoes still didn't fit, I could wear my Ziera sandals again...( the bruising on the toes in this photo has now faded somewhat)
We waved goodbye to our visitor on the 23rd...
Because we had so many family 'dos' in May, we saw more of DD2's dogs Jimmy and Missy, and that's always a bonus!
And right at the very end of the month, I managed to get to a Knit and Natter with K4BN. I have missed a few of these, so it was lovely to catch up with some knitting friends again.
So I wonder what June will have in store??🤔
And then we did lots of things with our guest. She arrived on a very busy weekend with Mothers Day and a family get together in honour of our son in law's mother who was visiting from NZ to see/meet/ and adore baby Anthea...( like we all do!)
And we also celebrated with a Mothers Day Dinner at DD2s....
We celebrated a life at a family gathering to scatter a much loved relative's ashes...
Then a day later it was my birthday celebration with a dinner at a favourite local Swiss restaurant.
Close to home was Stradbroke Island with its picturesque scenery and wonderful wildlife...

Near the end of the month, the family gathered to celebrate DH's birthday...

You certainly did have a busy month, but it sure looks like you had a wonderful time.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
I hope its a little quieter and we see you at SS...got some stuff for you!
ReplyDeleteWhat a busy month. I'm exhausted just reading it. Maybe a quiet month to relax and recharge lol
ReplyDeletewhat wonderful family time you had last month now you can sit back and relax, you have lots of lovely photos to recall the good times spent with every one
ReplyDeleteBusy, but fun I think! We had a very busy month, too, and now we are relaxing ... and dieting! How come so much fun revolves around food, I wonder.
