A couple of days ago, one of my girlfriends from Australia called and we chatted for for almost an afternoon. It felt so good! She has just had a hip replacement. We were saying how much fun it would be to be healing in the same room. Distance ... the last frontier! It got me thinking about the last time we were all together. It was Australia 2004/05. I ventured down unda for nearly six months. They passed me from person to person, until one day someone drove me to the airport and sent me home. ha ha. We did have a grand time. Today I got out what few photographs I have left and did a spread in my journal.
Nothing more to report for the moment. Hope all is well in your world. Thanks for stopping by. xxoo Donna
I sometimes ponder who I might have been had I never met these women so long ago. They definitely changed my life for the better. I love you all dearly!

Good morning Donna. I just rolled out of my bed here. Glad you had a nice day. Love the view from your terrace, and I am sure your new shelves etc will solve a lot of problems in your studio. Love your Australia photos! Looks like you had a great time there!! Hugs, Valerie

It's great to have such great friends as your Australian ladies. It appears you had a great time. Memories are great to have when you can't be together. Can't wait to see your bookshelves all painted in your studio. Hope this finds you feeling better.
Such a meaningful page with meaningful people. Cold? It was 2 C here this morning. Frost and some ice. Your Habibi has the right idea. I have had to limit my computer time to minimum because my neck is being bad.I will pop in whenever I can. hugs..Donna

Great photos. Mr. Habibi knows comfort, that's for sure. Good luck with the shelves. Fun to look at your trip down under.
WOW...look at your tree! I can't believe how gorgeous it looks from earlier days when it was neglected and looked so lonely. It definitely loves your care and your jardin.
Fantastic journal pages from your trip to Australia. I remember when you went on that trip and it is fun to see photos where you were enjoying your friends company.
I also like the other photos you shared, especially Habibi all tucked in between the pillows -- smart puppy!
Happy you got out of the house and have a project to help you organize your studio. How about some before and after photos for us.
Because I won your last blog freebie I won't enter this one, Donna. Have to give others the opportunity to receive some of your love and generosity.
No more digging in the yard -- I've had my fill for fall. Now it is time for me to organize my craft area and get on with my holiday projects.
Have a great weekend.
Hugs,
C
