New ventures, planning and loving life.

Good morning all you beautiful people I hope this finds you well and raring to go. Cape Town is busy having a mini summer at the moment with the forecast of some rain this week, the problem is we need LOTS and LOTS of rain to even make a difference in our dams. As I write this there is a very brisk North West wind blowing which will hopefully blow in our rain.

We've had a busy week (as usual), busy is good or so I am told. Everything is ready for Miss Muffets visit with our little Grandsons, only four more sleeps to go. The pantry is stocked, biscuit tins are full and the kettle is primed for lots of action. When I think back to this time last year we were busy loading the truck before leaving Johannesburg on the start of our 'new' adventure , there was a nervousness about what lay ahead and the new lifestyle but oh my word what fun we are having. As always we have lots of plans, things to make, places to go and explore, it seems like so much longer than one year and on the other hand it feels just like yesterday. My precious, gifted Hubby is busy planning on doing more woodwork which he will advertise and then make wooden furniture pretty much to spec so, exciting times ahead.

As far as all the animals are concerned, we still have the odd escape plan hatched up by the dogs, whereas the cats are officially lounge lizards. Currently there is one on the chair behind me and the other is on the top ledge of his condo, my deep wish is that they would actually learn to get along. Sadly Gemma is an old lady who I don't think will ever accept another car happily, generally they can inhabit the same space quite peacefully but when she comes in from outside and Jasper wants to play or greet her then we are 'treated' to a vast array of noises, hisses and growls. God bless them both.

Hubby and I were totally blessed to have been able to spend our Anniversary together on Friday, it was a lovely day, we did some shopping and then when Jelly Bean was finished with a Staff Meeting we went for an early dinner at Bertie's Moorings on the Harbour in Gordons Bay, it was so peaceful sitting right on the water next to all the fancy power boats and just enjoying the outdoors and the late afternoon sun. What a journey these last ten years have been, certainly lots of fun and adventures and still so many still to do, thank you my Darling I can't wait to see where our journey is still going to take us together.

Friends, I pray that this week will be good to you and that any challenges which arise you will squash under your feet, stay safe out there until we chat again.
