Christmas With Mitchell

These are some of the photos take on Christmas day. We opened some presents before we left Leanne's home to go to Mitchell's place.
We had ham and eggs cooked on the bar-be-cue for a late breakfast. Then came the opening of the presents. The floor beneath the tree was stacked with presents. Mitchell was elected to play Santa because it was his first Christmas in his house.

This lizard was caught at my house when it was very small. Now, he is years old. He lives in a fish tank in Leanne's lounge room. This was his Christmas feast.

Leanne's Christmas tree and a couple of her decorations. They are all made out of china.

A great day was had by all. Most over eat. But I just nibbled. We had breakfast, lunch, and the evening meal, at Mitchell's home. We had to help him eat so there weren't too many left overs because he was going to be away for a few days.

I was taken back to Mackay on Friday morning by family, to rejoin my friends on the bus to travel home. We made a few stops to eat along the way, have rest stops, but we made home, late. Lightning flashed. Rain began to fall while we unloaded our bags to go to our homes. I fell into bed. Exhausted.

Spring

Where is spring? The weather feels more like winter. The sun is hiding and a chill is in the air. I'm thinking of going back to bed. The moment I begin to walk up the steps to reach my bed, the phone will ring. Or someone will come knocking on the door. Maybe I'll curl up on the lounge and read a book with a blanket over me. I don't want to find the heater and unpack it from the box. I just put it away. I had visitors yesterday. I hadn't seen them since 1991. Now my life has settles I will be able to go visit some family I have seen for years. Taking care of parents, family and friends, took up so much of my time. Followed by a lot of health problems. I have more time to do what I want for a change, since I have improved. I don't have severe pain like I had. Time for me to adventure out and see some of the country. The tree with the empty beer bottles were in the lounge room, where we had lunch on one of the bus trips. This was a day outing with friends. I ...

Trust Respect I didn't have

In a marriage there is suppose to be trust and respect, if not there, what do you have? For most of my first marriage I didn't receive either from my husband. The partnership consisted of three adults and the children. To come to that answer you have to have a wife, husband and his mother pulling strings, and sticking in her nose where it was not welcome. The main reason for her interference was to take my daughter to raise because she only had sons. But I fought tooth and nail until my life was in question. After my third pregnancy I was advised by my doctor, and a specialist, to do something to prevent any further pregnancies. The pill was not an option because my system will not take to induced foreign medication. A fitted application I refused because it didn't stop you having more children. I spent time with a woman in the maternity ward who had given birth to another child and the piece came out with the afterbirth. So I went for the permanent solution. I had the tubes ...

Stigma in a name.

Stigma in a name Handicapped. Some people show distaste for those with a visible handicap. The word handicap has many different cognations. I don't see it as something a few people are afflicted with. To me. Everyone is born with one, or another, disadvantage. Sight is one. If not born with it blindness may form at a later time. The same for hearing. Due to a reason, or accident, you lose your hearing. Hearing aids are needed. These are a curse of many people. Bones and muscles may not form properly in the womb. Other problems might cause different, and difficult, reasons to cause an inconvenience for the child and parents. The cost of the health cover for years. The stress on both parents and patient. Wearing down of energy to cause health problems. Then there are other handicaps for horse racing. Golf. Athletics. Car racing. Different diseases which cause many people to become handicapped. A car accident. A fall from a ...
