Mantra 100 not ticking boxes

Just came back from Melbourne for a short 2 day vacation (holiday).  I love to see different parts of the world but I hate the whole process of traveling.  The packing – making sure you are covered for every possible scenario.  What if it rains? Umbrella packed. What if it’s cold when it says it’s […]

Knock, knock…uno?

My family and I love playing Uno (yes the card game).  I have played this game since I can remember.  It’s a great game that I was able to teach the kids quickly and easily and they love it. When I first came to Australia before my children were old enough to play Uno, I […]

Something I didn’t prepare for

One of the things that you don’t think about when you decide to move to the other side of the world is what will happen when a family member is ill – at least I didn’t think about it. About two years ago, my uncle was diagnosed with cancer. However, with chemo, he seemed to […]

V8 Supercars weekend

In my previous post, I mentioned how miserable I was but didn’t get a chance to explain.  Well here it goes.  A few months ago, I order tickets for the V8 Supercars race here as an early Christmas gift for my hubby who is a major Holden fanatic.  How was I to know that I […]

Nothing like leaving everything to the last minute

As I was looking through the clutter on our desk, I realized I have lots of forms I need to send out…soon. There were a dozen copies of voter registration/absentee ballots request in the pile from months ago. I finally sent those out yesterday. Now I just have to wait for the ballots to get […]

Go, USA!

I’m not one for sports.  I’m too much of a girl…not a girly girl but just a plain Jane who’s just not into sports so I never really watched the Olympics before, until now.  After all these years of not watching the Olympics, I’m truly surprised that I’ve watched a fair bit of it but […]

When ducks attack

Australia has so many park areas and bush land that it is quite certain you will have many encounters with different animals. And because my hubby and his family are animal lovers, I have become accustomed to going to places with various forms of wildlife. And as I mentioned in my previous post, LJ loves […]

Family outings

When in Australia, you do as Australians do…so I have been wrestling crocs. Just kidding. But we have been spending a great deal of time in the great outdoors. LJ loves being outside no matter what the weather is like. I say that’s the Australian in him because I’m sure the American in him would […]

It has been 119 days since I’ve been living in Australia, but who’s counting…

Yep, I’ve been here for nearly 4 months and I’m still missing home like crazy – mainly because I’m bored so I’ve been trying to keep myself busy as much as possible. In the next few days I am going try to post about what there is to do in Australia when you’re not comfortable […]
