  went to a Biggest Morning Tea at the village...where we raised over a thousand dollars for breast cancer research...   one of the men did these wonderful flower arrangements for the tables   and it was a much nicer day at the beach!!  the Banksia above and Panadanus below are always fascinating local native flora... Hope you are having a good week..wherever you are!  May God be with you!!

We could be forgiven for feeling as if we are underwater... After what is now being called the hottest summer on record in Australia, and then after probably nearly a record,  very wet February,  we are now expecting even more rain for the weekend, in SE Queensland!!! We could be forgiven for going a little "troppo". A term usually reserved for the craziness that results from waiting in the extreme heat for the wet season to arrive in the tropics. Perhaps what we are experiencing might better be termed "cabin fever". Well, I guess we haven't been quite confined to barracks continually since Australia Day the first at the end of January,  but the prospects of even more rain doesn't seem to be terribly exciting anymore. From one who loves the wet season normally. ;-( It must sound even worse for those whose homes or businesses or lives have been affected by the rain and floods more than once since then...some of them even three times!!!...
