Computer issues ...
Well I have been off line since Tuesday afternoon!! Eeekkkk!!
The computer wouldn't restart so we got onto our computer person and sent it to them after being told that it couldn't be fixed over the phone.
Turns out the hard drive went!! Luckily they could retrieve everything!!
So hopefully all systems will be a go go tomorrow!! Can't wait!!
Have managed a bit of scrapping so will up load when the computer is all back together ;-)

This and that ...
The Escape2Create retreat got a wonderful wrap up on Nic's blog.
And John went to Adelaide on Wednesday and came home Thursday with my Mojo ...
along with this Shiraz came a bottle of Sauvigon Blanc ... my fav grape!!
Nic had the most smokin' wedge heels on the first evening and next day ... omg they were stunning!! Forgot to ask her where she bought them.
Tonight we decided to make an effort and tidy up under our 2/3 finished pergola ... so we could eat tea.
Hannah being cheeky ...

FYI ... Wedgie
Definition:
A wedgie ... the bottles of wine that you drink in between the masked bottles of wine. Often better than the masked bottles of wine!!! ;-)

The Long Weekend Wrap Up ...
Hello there!!
Then today we went on a magical mystery tour ... we met at a friend's house in Cummins, no one knew where we were going (except of course for the mystery tour leader!) and off we headed ... 7 vehicles on a mystery tour!! We ended up at the Todd Reservoir for a BBQ lunch, after a convoluted drive to get there! The kids had a ball going for walks, playing cricket and football and the adults kicked back and relaxed!
Then when we got home John continued on his project of the moment ...
The screening for our pergola. It will look pretty good I reckon!!
Well Saturday saw me take a trip to Port Lincoln with Hannah & Rohan to do a bit of shopping (bought my first pair of Levi's for about 20 years!!) but not any thing else clothing wise. Then I met up with Tiff and Amanda at our retreat venue for a bit of strategic planning ;-)
Saturday night ... BBQ tea at home.
Sunday tidy up day at home and then "Best Bottle" fun ...
We have 5 couples and add in a beautiful meal provided by the Q's at their home, along with tasting 5 masked bottles of wine and a couple of wedgies ... a great day!!

So a busy weekend and now I am surfing the web with a computer screen turned on its side ... got home and the desk top is upside down and inside out ... have tried a few things and can't get it to work so in desperation and absolute frustration I turned the screen on its side to blog!!
Busy week ahead with our Escape 2 Create retreat next weekend ... need to print out our list of things to take and get organised!!
Set up day is Thursday and the retreat starts Friday!! Eeekkkk!!!! Can't wait!!
