Home in WA

Hi All!  Well, once again its been a while, I just looked back and last post was March!  Things are gonna Change!
I finally came back to the west,  in mid April,  after a great run home, visited friends along the way in Victoria, and so.  Picked up my credit cards in leongath a in Victoria, and I was back in Business!  finally. Spent easter at Laura in sa. Caught up with Yvonne and Ken,  they just arrived back in Sa.  after being in Wa !   Stopped and caught up with my cousin in Kimba,  in SA. Then on to ceduna, where I watered and fuelled ready for the trek across the nullabor.  A fellow brings fresh oysters into the Foreshore Caravan Park, for sale 8 dollars a Dozen! Yum! Bought some, But!  They were not Shucked!  So I go , I can't do that, and he tells me  Way! Freeze them, and when you thaw them they Open!  And it's easy to cut the muscle and get them Open!  I thought I had died and gone to Heaven!  They  were divine! So I ate some the next morning and brought the rest back with me in the Freezer!
These days, quarantine at the sa/wa border is getting Stricter!  They made me open all my inside hatches, not just the pantry and fridge, and also my external hatches!  Major pissed off, as one wouldn't stay Shut after!  Had to stop about 3 times in the next hour to re close it, but finally it stayed shut.
Visited farming friends in Jerramungup, on my way passed, had some fun in the sheep Yards! The countryside was looking good, I had never seen the nullabor look so on green, I drove with the windscreen wipers on intermittent for a couple of days. Lots of water lying around. Then on to Lowden , near Donnybrook, to catch up with Ray an Glenda, we went off to Balingup small farm day, where I caught up with a few old friends from my Donnybrook days as well. Bought fabulous cheese from a annum sheep Cheesemaker!  Yum! Again! We ate the last of my ceduna Oysters!  Delish! While I was there,I made my first visit to mum in Busselton,  he is getting frail, but she was in fine for , very chatty, had me in stitches with some of her Comments!  But thank heavens she still remembers me, even though it is 3 /4  months since I saw her last, after her awful fall in January. I spent several days back and forth to bun bury,  buying tubs for storage, and emptying out my excess stuff from the motor home, and stacking it in bun bury Storage!  Unbelievable how much I was Carrying!  Semi planning on selling this one, b UT still deciding.
 Arrived at sister jeans, with a couple of days to spare to Anzac day. We  went to the dawn service in pinJarra , very moving, very Cold!  It's been a big year for Anzac,  100 years .A sea of red poppies every where you went. Then it was off to Jurien Bay for our patchwork retreat. I had found so many ufo,s as I unpacked the motor home,  I wasn't worried about what to sew, I  had  a lovely time finishing off a Few. They are now in pinjarra for Sale!  Went up to geraldton, after and caught up with son Ben,  also doctor, dentist, hairdresser,etc. All getting me squared away before  my Cruise!  So, I am packing, repacking, Culling! True! Managed to get everything into 6 Cases! They are not all Big!  2 large, 2 medium, 2 small. I think that's pretty good for the time I am Away! So now I am down to countdown,after this is posted,1 Sleep!  Yee Ha!  Finally got my cabin no yesterday, was beginning to think I might be sleeping in the medical Centre!  But no I have a Cabin!  So next you hear from me will be hopefully, frequently, and from my ports of call.
I wish you all good health and happiness, and my prayers go with those of you in  need . Love
 Vicki
