My sister-in-law, Georgie, is an absolute delight. Her adventurous spirit has taken her around the globe, where she’s made countless friends and collected stories from every corner. Georgie’s zest for life and her infectious sense of humor are qualities I deeply admire. Recently, she’s been spending more time at home,...
“It’s true that shopping is cheaper than therapy” So it’s the start of November and Georgie and I decided for a girls day out shopping and lunch. Life kept getting in the way of some time out together, so I was so grateful for this chance before I had to...
Georgie, John’s sister, gave him his 50th Birthday party, so when she suggested she do the 60th, it seemed right. Initially I had thought to have John’s birthday at the Perth Zoo, but the expense of renting a place was just too much, so Georgie and I went with a...
Perhaps Christmas at Georgie’s will be an annual event, as this is now year two that we have it. Since Georgie and I both believe that Christmas is a season, not one day, and we’d be crazy to do all the work and expense of it for JUST one day,...
John took most of the photos for the night as I left batteries for my flash at home. 🙁 He and his fish eye lens did well! Happy Birthday Georgie, and many, many, more!
Since John has this nice 3D printer, I asked him to make me a dolphin cookie cutter. So he did. I found a lovely icing recipe that made that smooth blue look. Instead of mom’s buttercream icing recipe, I used Royal Icing recipe, which calls for egg whites or meringue...
With Christmas and New Years done, we had to start thinking about going home to Perth. I suppose most couples have obstacles in their marriage, ours is definitely all that it takes to BE together. The travel is not easy; the expense, the time…if nothing else, we are a testament...
My birthday was nearly a month ago, but it’s not over yet. Petra’s gift arrived yesterday. Along with this miniature house, I should add that Georgie also gave me something small, but sweet. Laura also gave me something small, but something I really wanted! Now I can carry...
Georgie likes Aussie rules and her son Matt plays, so I was curious what the game was like. Georgie invited John and I to watch her son play, so we went. The game’s objective is to move the ball downfield and kick the ball through the team’s goal. The main...
Iris has become someone special to me, she is more than a mother in law. So, even though we were deep in floor mess in the kitchen, there was no saying no when she invited us to come to the house for dinner and meet her side of the family....
This was a different Easter for me. I suppose this was the first time since 1979, that I was away from the bosom of my family for Easter. After talking to them, I think I was missed. I did miss them too, however, I was kept very busy with my...
Yesterday Georgie, Iris, and I went on a girls day out shopping. We first though, surprised John at his work. I wanted to see where it was he earned a living and meet his co-workers. He was indeed surprised but gave me a quick grand tour. Georgie, after dealing with...
Carrying on in doing things like no other couple does, two weeks after our wedding, Georgie held a wedding reception for us. She asked us to dress up like we did for the wedding which I was happy to do, I’m such a girl. 🙂 ...
So what do other people do the day they are getting married? You mean they don’t sit out in the car blogging about the day before just to kill time like me? hehe We are at Siesta Park where the internet connection doesn’t reach our chalet. John and I are...
Despite nature’s best efforts, Ellicott City, which was founded in 1772 as Ellicott Mills, stands today with all the old-country charm of its early days. Preservation is key to the community of Ellicott City, and restoring historic landmarks is something the residents believe in. Indeed, the town itself seems to...
It was another beautiful day, and for her last outing, I decided to take Georgie to Annapolis. Then we decided to take a Harbor Cruise! Yet something else I had never done! Once on the boat, we got to see the Naval Academy, the Bridges over the Severn, and the...
Naturally one of the places I had to take Georgie was downtown Baltimore and its Harbor. We lunched at Phillips Seafood and had some of their award winning crab cakes. Georgie liked both the crab cakes and the local beer. The dessert cart looked good, but we were stuffed. Georgie...
Today was a perfect autumn day, even on the warm side sometimes, and with Georgie here, it was a great excuse for a day’s outing. ***UPDATED*** To see more photos, visit the » GALLERY HERE

With Mothers Day soon approaching, Georgie sent me this: 1. My mother taught me TO APPRECIATE A JOB WELL DONE. “If you’re going to kill each other, do it outside. I just finished cleaning.” 2. My mother taught me RELIGION. “You better pray that will come out of the carpet.”...
