                                                             A Mixed Bag........
Just a little mixed blog today.Bob and I got to go away for the long weekend and we just went less than 2 hours away and not the planned trip.We had both not been that well and the place we were going to visit  was over 5 hours away and beyond us as we had been relieving at the Post Office to sort the mail truck and up at 4.30 for 2 weeks,it just caught up with us....


Here is Bob relaxing with a book,a rare sight as there is always something to do at home.The caravan park was really quiet at a place named Tamworth,we did nothing.I had hoped to stop on the way home and see a fellow blogger but we were too early for the shop she works at to be open( sorry Chris) however maybe next time.It was good to be alone as we are never alone,my brother came to look after Mum and we wanted to get home early to have some time with him.

I love my job as you know and with school holidays on the farmers children are all at home and they LOVE the mail lady lol.This is a sweet set of twins and big sister,Daddy had gotten them a dwarf rabbit each so I had to stop and pat them every day so far,I asked permission to take their pic and put it here.Miss whitey,Miss Blackie and Miss Brownie..don't you love the names lol.These children live next tot he little rural school,they have 9 yes 9! pupils.I will take a pic one day for you I have to ask first for permission.

Finally one of my favourite trees on my mail run, it is right where I have to open a gate,many times mares bring their foals here for shade and also the ewes bring their lambs rest here,today it was almost alone.It is just magestic this tree...Gods great wonders.

Well we are back home,back at work,back to normal and it was like we were never away.We laughingly said the sexfest is over,lol well Bob has to dream!or am I just joking...well who knows.....

My friend was once phoned up by her about to be married daughter.."Mum she said do people have sex over 70?" Now I am asking...I thought life got quieter in that area as we advanced into our 60's...looks to me like the men get rejuvenated lol or perhaps it is if you are blessed enough to still be "in love" as we can love one another but not be in the state of" in love.".
This subject came up recently at our craft group and I was surprised to fins that more than half have separate beds at the same age as us and some have their own room..I wonder which is the most normal.Well it is a private thing so guess I will never know lol.
Have a wonderful day,feel blessed to be breathing as with all the illnesses facing us and the tragedies in abundance  it is truely a blessing just to awaken each day.

  5. What a great break, I love going to our caravan, which is in a caravan park. So relaxing, it only takes 10 minutes to do the housework, haha. It doesn't take long to get back into the swing of things does it, once we're home again?
    I like the idea for the Christmas gift with the bottled prunes and port too, it's not far away now!!

    blessings,
    Diana

  8. I love big trees too. Our recently acquired huge Oak tree (that I've named The Royal Oak) is a beauty, and if I was ever to take up tree hugging, I would start with her!

  9. It was nice to hear that you and your hubby had a chance to get away. Seems that I have trouble resting at home . . . there is always chores that need doing, errands to run, pots on the stove, etc. It sounded like you had a nice rest . . . I loved hearing about your mail route and the children and their bunnies. Have a wonderful day and keep smiling, Connie :)

  12. I think its sad to know that some couples end up in single beds and rooms...even if life dosnt envolve a sexfest when you are older, there is still the love with touch and feeling safe and loved in someones arms at night...
