The landscaping is done.

Hey, …I LIKE this.  I was experimenting and came across this handy little gadget.  These are pictures of our house while we were landscaping the yard.  Well, it’s DONE!  We have officially finished the landscaping.  The fence which took the longest, is completed, the garden beds are done, and the planting of many trees are done.  Woohoo!!!  We’re now waiting on the rains to establish growth.  I’ve been meaning to take some current pictures, but the weather is so bad, that it would never do it justice.  But once the weather clears up, I’ll take the finished product.  The grass has certainly covered A LOT more area since these shots too!

Well, I’ve been rather remiss in writing on the blog.  We’ve been working in the yard, hence the photos,.. and we’ve been down to Jenny’s place helping them out with some more of their renovation work.  We just got back the other day and now we’re making plans for the year.

Our next trip coming up will be in March where we will start heading up to Cairns to see Robert and Casey get married.  We’ve got our clothes ready for the occasion AND we’ve started taking dancing lessons.  The waltz was a bit tricky for Chris, but we’ve nailed the Rumba down.  Of course, we’re not as professional as those you see on “Dancing with the stars” or” So you think you can dance”, but we do have the VERY basic steps down.   It’s certainly been a lot fun too.

After arriving home from Jenny’s house, I’ve been inspired to really get committed to losing weight too.  So I’ve checked out a local gym and I’ve yet to check out the local swimming pool for an Aqua aerobics class.  So I’ll keep you posted on the success of that.

We’re off tomorrow on a 4WD rally with the Scout club.  Unfortunately, we’re not able to take the Scout.  The windscreen of the Scout has not been sealed yet and the last time we took it out, I ended up holding a cloth and a cup to catch the water as it poured out of the screen.  Also, the carburettor needs looking at.  So it’s the ‘brumby ol’ cruiser we’ll be taking.

As things unfold around here, I’ll start writing a bit more often.
