Fireworks on the Cahill

Marion got free tickets to the 9pm fireworks, so we headed out. Janet got pulled up at the entry gates for having an umbrella in her bag, so she refused to give it up and went to watch the fireworks outside Customs House. Kaylene, and I joined Marion and Evan was given a special position with the help of Ken.

Bindy had got tickets for the 12midnight fireworks, but not enough for all, so I gave up mine to Marion, and went home with Janet. Kaylene stayed out with the Seetos and Marion to see in the New Year.

Berry Picking

Huntley Berry Farm Huntley Road, Huntley, near Orange airport, 6365 5282. Nov-May, strawberries $6, raspberries, currants, youngberries, brambleberries and other berries $7; feijoas, about $2.

Saturday 12 December 2009

Marion decided to go berry picking near Orange and so I followed. It was over 30 degrees, and we got there at the most hottest time, picking berries in the midday sun.

The raspberries were delicious and juicy, but so delicate, you had to be careful when picking that you didn't bruise the fruit..any bruised fruits ended up in the mouth.

After the raspberries, we went on to pick youngberries, marionberries, currents and strawberries.

Kaylene's Year 9 Formal

Kaylene's Year 9 Formal

The dress & shoes were bought in Kuala Lumpur, the bag was on loan from Jane and the bling was on loan from mum. Mum helped with the make up and she had her hair done that afternoon.

She looked so beautiful...the little girl has blossomed.

Kaylene's Cut & Style

I made an appointment for Kaylene at Alan Coban's so that Kaylene could have a treat for her Year 9 Formal.
Shampoo, wash, cut and then curls which were styled in a half up do. Looked very nice.

New Car

We finally went out a bought a replacement car. Another Mazda, but slightly smaller.

We (Janet, Darren, Lily and I) first went to Toyota to look at the Yaris, but the boot space was too small and the dashboard was in the centre, and Darren looked so big in it.

So we went to Leichhardt Mazda and after test driving the Mazda 2, Janet negotiated and signed the paperwork and we walked out, owning a new car.

With window tinting, paint protection, 6 year warranty and service, it totalled approx $20,000.
