HR HOLDEN & VESPA – JULY 2011

Enid — Mon, 25 Jul 2011 13:04:43 +0000

Hi All. A few of you have asked for some photo’s of how the HR is progressing. So below are all of the photo’s that I’ve taken to date from the day Rod and I picked the old girl up from Sydney. There are also a couple of photo’s that the previous owner sent of when it was being resprayed.

Also included are some photo’s of Maree’s new toy, her fully restored 1959 Vespa Lambretta that I picked up for her on Saturday 22 July. Not my sort of bike, but I have to admit that it really is a gorgeous little thing that has been restored beautifully by the previous owner. Maree has picked up a winner ….. oh yeah, the sculpture photo’s are of the sculpture in the front yard of where I picked the Vespa up from. I loved it and just has to take some shot’s.

If you click on each photo they it will open up to full page size and if you hold the mouse over each photo it provides a brief description of what it is ….. enjoy.

Cheers

Dale

Photos from June

A few photos from June. Bonfire night out at Sue’s mum and dad’s farm. It was very dry so we didn’t have a huge bonfire but there was a small fire and sparklers.

And I have been trying to get a photo of the two boys together so you can all see how similar they are these days.

Enjoy,

Christmas with the McTomes in 2010

Enid — Sun, 02 Jan 2011 09:16:09 +0000

The boys are now at an age where they understand about presents, and “mine”. They do still get quite overwhelmed with everything so we tried to spread the present opening out a little bit.

There were some last minute things that Grandad needed to do before Christmas Day so the boys were very keen to help with all that.

This year we had Christmas Day with my family in Bega. We drove down on Christmas Eve and the boys were very excited to see Grandma and Grandad again. Unfortunately they were also very excited to open presents and woke up quite early on Christmas morning. The rest of the family descended on mum and dad’s for a wonderful family Christmas lunch.

We then continued the McArthur family tradition of going camping to Araganu on Boxing Day. And the tradition also continued to the rain. The Annie Lennox lyrics we were listening to were quite prosaic.

Anyway, that was our Christmas. Thank you again to everybody for spoiling our boys rotten. It’s their birthday in a few weeks and they are already geting very excited about a cake and everyboy coming to visit.

Bye for now and have a great 2011!!

We did have some friends over for a bbq at some stage. Here are all the kids inside reading as it was a little bit wet.

And some more photos.

And of course it was Daddy’s birthday in October.

Short break and adventures with Grandad

Enid — Mon, 18 Oct 2010 09:57:16 +0000

It’s Bathurst weekend and so the boys and I went down to Bega for the weekend. It was a bit of a miserable weekend weatherwise but the boys had a great time and some adventures with Grandad. On Sunday they had a great time baking some special bread and they fed the ducks on Monday.

I had the week off with the boys as Elaine (day carer) is off for 2 weeks. Dale has this week off to look after them. We’ve had some adventures during the week too. We’ve had our first ride on the bus down to the shops and we also had lunch at Dad’s work. They will come in for lunch with me one day this week too.

The weekend just gone we went to the Murrumbateman Field Day and the boys had a lot of fun patting sheep and driving tractors. They also watched the helicopter take off but didn’t enjoy it so much when we went up close to it.

And a couple of other photos too.

Enjoy the pics and more again soon.

September was fun too

Enid — Tue, 28 Sep 2010 11:04:17 +0000

The start of the month was Fathers Day and Dale was very spoilt with some hand decorated tissue boxes from the boys one each) and also a nice 5 drawer tool box. He also got a sleep in cos mummy got up early with the boys and let him go back to sleep. (The boys seem to have an internal alarm clock that goes off at 0546 each morning. Not a lot of fun!)

It’s a bit tricky now getting photos of the boys cos we only have the weekends now but I managed to get a few this weekend. We had a long weekend (for Families and Communities Day) and it was a gorgeous weekend. We had fantastic weather and the boys were in t-shirts for the first time in ages. Here’s some photos of them enjoying mum’s cupcakes on the weekend, playing with the ball and playing with there Tonka trucks inside.

Enjoy
