ABC WEDNESDAY my G word story

I went to a quilt show the other day...and just loved these Gum leaves!

A Great Game of cricket was being played in the Great Australian countryside while I was there.

Great Australian Gum trees feature largely in the scenery around here...

After that I drove over the Great Dividing Range to the Darling Downs for a family birthday party

there were some Grey skies over the Great Dividing Range when I drove home again

I drove up the Great Divide again to the Garden City on Tuesday to visit the Grandchildren...here is a dear little Girl playing a Game in the playGround!

of course there were more Gorgeous blue skies and more Gum Trees!

little Girl Granddaughter has a break from playing

while Grandma admires the wonderful spring flowers in the Garden City

They are always soo beautiful, and my photos this year don't do it justice...please go to visit in September for the Great Carnival of Flowers!

we are in the Japanese Gardens at the University

Yesterday I didn't have access to my photos as I was minding a small grandchild [she was watching Sesame Street while I did this post then, before we braved the chill 18 celsius outside to go and feed the ducks up in the( Glorious japanese gardens) duck park], but I asked the older girls the previous night to think of words that begin with the letter G for my blog post.

......Boys playing Games with blocks.....

Well, I didn't realise that this would be taken as a very serious exercise by the 5 year old, and she gave me a list this morning. I wish I could scan it for you in her handwriting...butI will give you a sample of the list she came up with (along with my guess at the correct word she was trying to tell me):

Gredy (greedy)
Gise (guys)
Grumpy
Glus (glues?)
Glowe (glowy)
Green
Gred?
Gote (goat)
Glav (glove)
Gate
Groop (group)
Gloss (in Dad's writing)
Gabby
Gadget (dad's writing again)
grilla (gorilla)
Growe (grow)
Good
Growes (grows)
Goody
Gruss (gross?)
Glue
and Grandma!!

The funny part to the story is that Mummy told me , last night, small 5 year old appeared beside her bed in the middle of the night (she often comes in to go to the bathroom)...and she was crying...

so Mummy says.."what is the matter"

and small 5 yr old says...."I can't think of any more G words"!!

.........Girls being all giggly at bedtime........

Thanks Rachel!! When I get home I might try to Get some pikkies on here for you! Just thought you might like to enjoy the story for now!

There you go...the pikkies are there now for all to see the Glorious places and Gorgeous kids this travelling Grandmother sees....!!!
