SO MUCH BETTER!

 For the second night in a row, I've slept so much better.

The new topper pad on our bed is proving to be worth it's weight in gold.

It's so good to get up in the morning and you feel rested, and nothing really hurts.

So thankful we got it.

ABOVE:  I can't believe I forgot to show you our Rice Paper Rolls from yesterday.  Some looked a bit rough, but most were pretty good!

And they certainly tasted wonderful, just like bought ones.

My cousin Debra gave me a gift yesterday, this was it:

ABOVE:  She had photos from my Mum's 80th Birthday put on a canvas for me.  I was very touched that she had thought of doing that for me.

Lastly for now:

ABOVE:  ???  Steve's back and shoulders are covered in tiny pimples.  They are a side effect of all the drugs he is on for his Pancolitis.  Bex it popping them.  Nice one, on my couch too!

I don't know what's the haps today.

Steve and Mike are working on fixing Mike's cars exhaust.  Something about spark plugs too.  Dunno.

Mike and Joyce will be heading home to Palmerston North as some stage today.

Lacy is due over here to see them.  

Brylee is off to Tauranga, then coming back with Danielle to stay here overnight, before they go shopping in Auckland on Tuesday. Danielle is Brylee's 3rd cousin = FAMILY.

Stew's sister, Khady, is coming for dinner.

I better get something out of the freezer!

So, a quiet day?  

Somehow, I doubt it!

So I was just sitting here (10.15 am) thinking... gosh I'm a bit hungry.

Scrolling through Facebook, see a video on making pikelets.

RIGHT!  GOTTA MAKE SOME, like right now.

No recipe, just throw flour, baking powder, sugar, eggs and milk in a bowl...

Beat the shit outta it and :

ABOVE:  Done.  Damn yum too.  Lacy arrived bang on time to have some too.

The kids arrived and we played a game of 14.

Such fun.  

Because Cambridge Card Night is here next time, I had all the trophy's in my room, so I got them out so we could play for a trophy.

ABOVE:  Mike won, Joyce was Runner up and I lost.  I don't mind losing cos the loser's trophy is pretty.

Steve is going to make us our own trophys.  He has to make an extra special one, it will be called THE HULK.

Cos this person turns into a raging Hulk (read BAD LOSER) when she loses!!!

She looks SO cute and innocent eh?  She's not. 

 

Steve and Bex are now cooking everyone's lunch.  I think we are having salad buns with chicken, salad, fried Halomui etc.  Smells amazing.

Gosh!  Not been back on here for a while.

So.  Lunch was wonderful.

Then after hanging out for a while, yakking, everyone left.

Lacy for her home.

Steve and Bex for their home.

Mike and Joyce for their home in Palmerston North.

And Stew and I relaxed for a couple of hours.

Then Brylee and Danielle arrived home, to watch movies and have a sleep over in our lounge.

Then Stew's sister arrived and we had a very nice dinner of Roast Chicken (Thanks to Steve and Bex), salad and mashed potatoes.

Then more yakking ensued for a few hours.

It's now 8.20 pm and all is quiet again!

It's been a really busy weekend, with lots of family coming and going.  WE LOVED IT.

Mike and Joyce are home now, so we can relax knowing they are safe.

Best thing is, they will be back in just two weeks for Anzac Weekend, which is also Steve's birthday.
