2010 Moree Trip: June 2010
http://laurie-2010trip.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 29, 2010. Rambling in the past. Lindy and Marion left today for Newcastle, where Lindy will have her gall bladder removed on Wednesday. It's tough timing - - Marion's birthday is that day and Carissa's is the next day. As the girls' school commenced holidays today (strange time? We thought we might take them out for lunch. Lindy suggested Macca's or Subway. I much prefer Subway but it's way more expensive. Maybe I won't give them a choice! There is a large Indigenous population in Moree....

2010 Moree Trip: Home at Milnes Bridge
http://laurie-2010trip.blogspot.com/2010/10/home-at-milnes-bridge.html
Thursday, October 21, 2010. Home at Milnes Bridge. Steve didn't let the grass grow under his feet and we arrived home on the night of Tuesday Oct 12th. Since then, he has been running around like a chook with his head cut off! He brought Betty home from hospital last Monday and she has done very well. In between times, Steve is cleaning up our house. It is SO bad. I retched when I first went inside - - the stink was overpowering. Isn't it great that Steve can't smell!

2010 Moree Trip: June 2011
http://laurie-2010trip.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 28, 2011. I don't know what we've left behind - - we shovelled in the last few things without looking! Steve was coughing his head off and I was snorting, gurgling and felt about to breathe my last. We, along with our Tasmanian friend, Sue, all caught a rotten cold at the same time. Richard missed out. For those who haven't heard my story - - my Dad said that we had colds. He is totally to blame (or thank) for my kids never having the flu! And so to bed . with my head higher than my legs.

2010 Moree Trip: October 2011
http://laurie-2010trip.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Saturday, October 1, 2011. The AFL Grand Final or the Melbourne Cup? One of them is Melbourne's biggest day. Football or horse racing? Despite my best efforts, I can't think of anything that rivals these events in excitement, numbers and fervour. I don't particularly follow a footy team and I rarely have a bet on the races, so I have no vested interest in either. So, why can't I think of other events that can match these two? Anyone have a suggestion? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). 2008 Please Travel With Me.

2010 Moree Trip: CARLA
http://laurie-2010trip.blogspot.com/2010/11/carla.html
Monday, November 8, 2010. Carla van den Berg Lamers. 17111950 - 4.11.2010. Carla passed away peacefully, surrounded by her loving family, at her home in Apeldoorn, The Netherlands. Her indomitable spirit kept her going through the last 3 years of numerous operations, chemo and radiotherapy. She continued with her painting and travelled extensively during the last year, through Eastern Europe, Canada and Australia. I will sorely miss her sharp mind and our regular communication. 2008 Please Travel With Me.

Monday, May 24, 2010. Steve was back here again by 10am today. That's 50 hours since he left here, including 28 hours of train travel. I had hoped that he would sleep Sunday night back at home in Victoria but he said that the house was freezing. Oh well, 7C when it was 23C up here! He cat napped when necessary in the car and keep on coming. Many station hands tried to turn the seat but it wouldn't budge. Finally, the conductress directed him to a seat in first class. Neat! During Sunday afternoon, everyo...

2010 Moree Trip: August 2010
http://laurie-2010trip.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Saturday, August 21, 2010. Voting day. We voted yesterday at a pre-poll place. Pardon my ignorance but I had never heard of these before this week. When did they come in? If everyone could vote over a week, the counting would be easy and we could have one less week of campaigning. NO! They would add on a week! The polling booth even had proper, printed ballots for our electorate, Mallee. They said that there had been a big run on them! What, everyone's leaving Northern Victoria? Monday, August 16, 2010.

Friday, May 6, 2011. Here we are in Melbourne, supervising Maddy 14, Josh 12 and the Chinese student Jiaming, 16, while Talitha is working in Gippsland. I carved off some and gave Josh his to eat. Steve and Maddy were out and I didn't know where Jiaming was, so I planned to dish the meal up for everyone and heat it up when they arrived home. The look in Zack's eyes said the same thing!
