What a GREAT life I live
Kate rode her bike down to Greenvale to visit, and we went for a picnic at the Burdekin.
My neighbour erected a birdbath on our side fence. WHAT a gift!

Robert Frost Poetry
THE PASTURE
I’M going out to clean the pasture spring;
I’ll only stop to rake the leaves away
(And wait to watch the water clear, I may):
I sha’n’t be gone long.—You come too.
I’m going out to fetch the little calf
That’s standing by the mother.
It’s so young,It totters when she
licks it with her tongue.
I sha’n’t be gone long.—You come too.
Robert Frost (1874–1963)

Kate and Arek go Outback
Well, I convoyed with the coppers to the Mt Surprise turn-off and continued to Innot Hot Springs. Had a wonderful soak for about an hour when Lynn, Kate and Arek arrived. Shortly there after, Trish and Clive. Lynn had to go but the 5 of us had a lovely few hours together. Kate wasn't feeling too good, and slept all the way home. Very bad night for all, so it seemed the best for them to head off to the Medical Clic in Mt Garnett. Unfortunenately the car doesn't go more than 100klms per hour and only 40klms up hills. Took them 3 1/2 hrs to get to Mt Garnett. Allin all 6 hours to Kuranda.

I can't for the life of me work out how people find your blogs. We tried to publicise "Turning Points - Regaining joy after loss" and that has also never worked.

Kate is coming home
Well, its hard to believe that in less than two weeks my daughter will arrive, back in Cairns. She has been (mostly) in London for two and half years. Luckily with Skype, we talk two, three times a week. Looking forward to her and boyfriend Arek, coming to visit here in the Queensland Outback.
Farewell My faithful Nancy
My friends of 38 years, Bill and Julie were visiting me in Greenvale. This is the farewell to Nancy final photo. Julie and I went for a long walk in a gum forest while Billa nd Troy the Policeman, sent Nancy to Heaven. Her back legs had gone, and she was just 'finished'. 18 years, 9 months and 13 days old.

Cultural Differences
How easy it is to offend other people, just by the different understanding of a word's meaning. On Facebook, I wished my great-nephew 'break-a-leg' prior to his first stage appearance. I was taken to task, by my niece's husband. Apparently in his circle, this idiom is unknown.

Caught the ferry to Nelly Bay, then Bill Julie and I hired a minimoke for our day trip. This is taken at Picnic Bay, with Townsville across the water.

Magnetic Island with Bill and Julie
Was wonderful to see Bill and Julie after 10 years. Bill and I worked together in Tom Price, WA in 1972 and we have been friends, ever since.

Published: 7/03/06 Eacham Times. Harold West Walk, Millaa Millaa.This magic, faery place is literally , at the bottom of my garden. The magnificent trees shade a wonderfully maintained (Eacham Shire Council) public walkway and are home to countless bird and butterfly species. Also, a group of local volunteers, known as the West Walk Weeders, spend several hours a week caring for this lovely gem. They have planted hundreds of new shrubs and trees. Saint Patrick's creek rushes along and people in the know, have also seen platypus at dusk.. Stroll up the street for 6pm and have the best value rump steak at The Millaa Millaa Hotel. Jenny also has other delicious dishes.. Takes only time, enjoying our magnificent area needn't cost the earth.

Winfield Park, Malanda
We all know and love the famous Malanda Falls but how many people have enjoyed the Eacham Shire provided facilities at Winfield Park? This is a wonderful spot for either your own special picnic or, as it's not far out of town, (on the road to Lake Eacham) some delicious, hot fish and chips, bought from the Malanda Café.
Being right on the bank of the fast flowing, crystal clear Johnstone River, with its lovely trees and myriad birds and butterflies, is a pleasant and soothing experience.
Hidden jewels can often be the most valued.

The saying goes : Diamonds are a girl's best friends; however I think FRIENDS are a girl's best diamonds. What a stunning necklace I have! Other people can also put a sparkle in our lives when they help us with every-day processes.
The friendly check-out girls at Woolies not only put my groceries through for me, but arrange their placement in my car. Boy, do they give teenagers a GOOD name.
I love to buy fresh breadrolls, smoked salmon, a can of drink and then head to Hasties Swamp Lookout for my lunch. Depends on the time of year how much water and therefore bird species, abound.
Another jewel of our beautiful area.

This week I’ve chosen a beautiful, quiet secret tea-garden, filled with firetail finches bathing in hand-sculptured iron lotus flowers. Shaded tables, flowering shrubs and only the sounds of nature; (old man emu also appears from time-to-time).
Want more? Liz served us mug-a-chinos and delicious Turkish Toasties. Her gallery is filled with personal and other local art, as well as daughter Sandy’s wonderful photographs.
Take a special friend, as I did.

Write postcards to prisoners learning to meditate
This picture is done by a prisoner enroled in the Buddhist Liberation Prison Project.http://www.liberationprisonproject.org/
WANTING to change your life opens doors to people WILLING to help. Meditation helps.

Sudden, unwelcome changes happen in everyone's life; no doubt you've had your share already. Perhaps you're in the middle of one right now, and there are almost certainly more to come.
This would sound pretty negative if it wasn't for the fact that traumatic and challenging experiences can be the catalysts to a better and more fulfilling life.
This doesn't just apply to some people - it can work for everyone, including you, once you know how. Turning Points offer a range of products and services to help you develop your ability to make lemonade out of the lemons life gives you.
We call this turning SUCs (Sudden Unwelcome Changes) into SUCCESS.
We're not just talking about little insignificant changes, but the really big ones, like the loss or death of a loved one, being seriously injured in an accident, losing your job or any other event that you could imagine. Like a beautiful lotus lily emerging from murky water, you can create a rewarding life following even the most extreme life change.
Most self-help publications stress the importance of grieving after a major loss or change, but many don't go far enough. Unless we complete the whole process we can find ourselves stuck in the mire where life seems as if it will never again be as good as it was before.
The Turning Points 7-stage model covers all of the steps people need to pass through after a major life change, in order to recover completely and create a fulfilling life. You can also prepare for the future by building your ability to respond creatively to major life change.

Lizzies Sunday morning visit
Time to show-off my blog to Lizzie who actually came to do some e-baying.
Dead Sisters
My sister committed suicide on 23/07/93. My life, and that of the rest of the family will never be the same. Was it , as was stated by her treating physicians, AFTER her death, due to Porphyria (The Madness of King George, Princess Margaret, "Royal Disease"). Only genetic testing can prove it, one way or the other.
My friends' sister was murdered by her religious nutter of a brother-in-law and their two children. (Featured on 60 minutes last year.) She received compensation, but has spent every cent and more on legal appeals to prevent the family from proffitting from their crime. They , of course, get free legal aid, to which there seems no limit. Should the public purse be abused in this way?

Greenvale, outback qld, paradise for over 60's
« Hello world!
GREENVALE, Outback Qld
How amazing to start a whole new life, AFTER the age of 60! I now OWN my own 3 bedroom brick and tile house on 900+sm. After a lifetime of hard work, health issues and the tragedy of losing my younger sister to suicide, I now have the perfect life! Work as a volunteer two days a week in the Post Office, get clever books sent up from the Charters Towers library and can go to the swimming pool, 3 days a week. My dear cat Nancy just turned 17 on Xmas Day, and my daughter Kate is still enjoying, living and working in London. She is looking forward to a second trip with her father, Lynn, riding BMW motorcycles through the Alps.
Tags: 60's are the best!
After the tragic suicide of my beloved younger sister, I co-authored a self-help book "Turning Points - Regaining joy after Loss". Its 15 years since then, so you could say I practised what I preached.

Nancy Cat turns 17!
Nancy turned 17 on Xmas day! She is still VERY bossy, but the most 'talkative' cat I have ever known. Even my daughter Kate and a couple of friends, can pick her different 'words'. She even 'swore' at Pam when she asked her if she (Nancy) was going a bit senile! We love our life in Greenvale, Outback Qld.
Lupus Blogs
extract from "The Mad Goat Lady" blog that I replied to
:Bought your book “The Sun is my Enemy” years ago when I was first diagnosed with Lupus. I refused the steroid treatment, and using my own methods, got a lot better. My ana dropped and then I was ‘faking’ it. See questions sent to WA Lupus :
I have variously been diagnosed with :
Mixed connective tissue disease
Chronic fatigue
Lupus
(Attention seeking)
All due to wildly varying ANA numbers. A few months ago I had my highest reading ever ie >2560.
However, a test two weeks later was 40.
We only have The Royal Flying Doctor clinics every fornight, so I accepted her dismissal of previous diagnosis due to the normal 40 result.
I have , for the first time in years, now been swimming, albeit wearing a large hat. I am now starting to feel the ‘heavy’ ache in all my cells, that I have not felt for years. Used to respect the ‘The Sun is my Enemy’ , theory.
Have you heard of ‘intermitent Lupus’, or as I call it ‘fake lupus’?
