Hooray Brandon is home!

A child is fed

with milk and praise.

-Mary Lamb, Poetry for Children.

Our boy is home with us! The nest now feels warm and snug.

While Brandon went away for 2 weeks...and

enjoyed himself....his Mother counted down

the days until his return. I have to say

comfort was found in the fact Brandon went

to stay with family in Perth, but it didn't

feel the same as if he was home.

Welcome home Brandon.

I did manage to keep myself occupied over the

last 2 weeks with knitting and sewing. Over the

next week schools all over celebrate Children's Book

Week. This year the theme is Across the Storybridge.

I was busily stitching away at the banner

we will display in our school library.

With the lovely bits of scraps that couldn't possibly

be thrown away, I made all the letters and hand

stitched each letter down to a backing material.

The banner will be displayed with some of the

characters I have sewn or knitted that are in the

library already.

I also worked in the office on Friday morning as

one of the staff members there is on holidays. Gosh it was busy in that office!

It was good to work and keep busy however, because

it was the day we were picking up Brandon. As a thank you

to Lee and John for having Brandon for the 2 weeks, we

thought some lovely cushions and nice reading books

would be nice.

Today I am battling to keep up with the chores, but

my intentions for today will be to have a nice

knit-a-thon with Heather...we were hoping for some

sunshine, but I think we're going to dip out on that

hope. There are big looming grey clouds overhead, with a

dash of blue sky every now and then.

I'm truly happy with my lot and give thanks every day for the blessings I have. A new week will start and I wonder what

that lovely week will bring. Wishing you all a terrific week ahead.

Kind regards, Anita.
