At Last……

I am going attempt to post on my tablet without using Windows Live Writer which I don't seem to be able to download to my tablet. While we were in Tamworth we hired a car few 3 days. I have a quilting friend whose husband is a vendor at the Cutting Horse Futurity. Karyn and I took a drive to Nundle, to Patchwork on the Hill. 20130605_12561620130605_125605   A lovely shop with lots of goodies to tempt one.  20130605_130210 I then had another day out with my two quilting 2013-06-07 10.39.22  friends who visit the show every year. A lovely quilt shop in Tamworth. 2013-06-07 10.01.31 2013-06-08 14.06.48 A couple of Mounted Police in Tamworth.2013-06-08 14.07.04 Beautiful quiet horses.
When the show was over DH went home, and I flew to Brisbane where my son and his family live. Had a lovely time.....the children have grown so much ....2 are 19 and the other two are 17. Where have the years gone. The problem is I only see them once a year so they seem to grow fast. :-)  I was taken out for the day by an online blogging friend, to a couple of quilt shops in Brisbane. I managed to buy the sashing for my Nearly Insane Quilt.I figured I would be better buying it whilst away, to save postage. I also had a couple of books I had ordered a month ago and had them posted to my sons place.......again saving postage! Gosh I'm good at saving money. :-) All the more to spend on fabric!!
I was very lucky to have this lamp bought for me by my family, for my birthday & Mothers day this year.
20130612_165712 While in Brisbane I went to a retreat at Mt Alford. What a lovely place, and I had so much fun for the 2 1/2 days I was there. 2013-06-15 10.35.20 Mt Alfrod Retreat 2013  0130617_1a
Unfortunately I had to wait until I was home again before posting this, as I couldn’t get Live Writer to work on my tablet, and I find it hard to post directly to my blog. Something I need to learn to do :-) I love it but……
Anyway thanks for dropping by…I know I am really slack with my postings. :-)

looks like you had a great time and saw a lot of things - and always so nice to see the grandchildren, I too usually only see mine once a year

Such a nice getaway, on many fronts! I'm glad you got to see your grandchildren, though I would agree that once a year isn't enough. That must be tough. I sure like the looks of that Tamworth quilt shop. I spied some brights amongst the bolts that I'd like to check out further. I bet you're lovin' having that Ott light. Love the retreat photo, and I was happy to pick you out right away, and also Julie, kneeling in the front. Really great stuff here, Sue.

Well done posting from your tablet, how did you end up achieving it? Directly from Blogger?
Oh and I loved spending those 2.5days with you it was fantastic to catch up and chat, and laugh and eat, and chat and laugh, and eat and chat, and eat, and eat!
