1978 Toowoomba...what a cutie pie.
Living on the farm, scared of cows, especially the one Mum milked every morning! I couldn't find Jo one day when I came back upstairs from milking the cow..she had gone to sleep under a chair.
Loved playing with the cousins in town. And helping Aunty Jean paint the house.
Dad working for a fertilizer company, doing ag trials all over the Downs. And growing sorghum on the farm in his spare time. Also renovating the house!
1988...beautiful ballerina!
Happy outgoing girl. Always full of beans and energy. Loved ballet. Sad to give it up to be able to learn music. Learning organ from Olive down the road. The French horn, then percussion, then organ, then flute, and then piano, at school. Good on you Jo. One year we had you going to a school athletics carnival in a bus all the way over the other side of town, then coming back to school, and home, only to repeat the performance with the music group to a music (choir) festival, also all the way over the other side of town that night. Belongs to two church fellowships.

Hope you are enjoying your weekend!
Especially as I forgot to send something in the mail to arrive on time! Oops, poor Jo, having such a disorganised mother! She says it is OK Mum as Andrew's Mum never forgets. I am so pleased there are some organised people to help her celebrate her birthday appropriately! I guess I will be there soon, to help her celebrate in person , so that will be extra special for us both, and to meet the new grandson when he decides to make his entrance! Always enjoy visiting your blog Joni, don't always get to comment. Hope you are enjoying the summer, they are having a bit of a heatwave by the sound of it. 34 C in NY..whew!!
I hope she had a great day and that all goes well for mum and baby.
