Had a wonderful weekend at Caloundra with my daughter, staying at The Ridges. Did some retail therapy and had a very nice dinner on Saturday night and then leisurely made our way home on Sunday after lunch. She hadn't been well for a while and she really enjoyed the break away.
Then, on Tuesday, got a call that my mum had collapsed at home and had been taken off to hospital in Sydney. Jumped on a plane that afternoon and spent until last Sunday down there. Hopefully, with some building up of strength at a rehab facility, she will be able to return home in a few weeks time.
My car is finally fixed, and it looks just like new again!
Tomorrow I'm off to the Henzell Street Quilters exhibition at Redcliffe. They usually have a lovely variety of work and a craft stall as well.

Update
I know, I've been very slack. Lots has happened since last post.
Firstly, my Happy Jack is just wonderful - I just wish I had more time to play! I've just about quilted my practice piece to death and have done a very old Christmas wallhanging.
July was not a very good month. Firstly I tripped while walking on some uneven ground and tore the ligaments in my foot - ouch! The doc said at the time I would have been better off breaking it, and I think he was right. It's still giving me curry and it's almost 5 weeks down the track. I've been having some acupuncture for the last couple of weeks and that has helped considerably.
Next, I bought a new car - a zippy little Honda Jazz. 2 weeks after I bought it I was stopped at a set of lights, looked in the rear vision mirror and saw a car bearing down on me. Thought "this car isn't going to stop" and sure enough he slammed right into the back of me. 89 year old driver said he just lost concentration! I just cried. I had No 1 son and 'Pascoe' with me - thankfully we weren't hurt, but had to get an ambulance for the driver of the other car - he ended up with a couple of smashed vertebrae. My car goes in to be repaired next week.
Took DD up to Caloundra for the weekend - stayed at the Ridges. She hasn't been well and I needed a pick-up, so it was really good - just the tonic!
