Tuesday 17th June to Sunday 22nd June
Well it's been a busy week.
Tuesday - I worked until 1.30pm, rushed home to have a sandwich and be at the station at 2pm to collect our very special visitors. It was sooooooooo exciting and they were so happy to be here. We went for walk up to the shopping centre and they got their bearings. Trish had bought with her a pumpkin so we bought some meat and had a BBQ with baked vegetables, yum.
Wednesday - I worked for 3 hours 7-10am (gotta keep things processed) and then came home to a kitchen that had been well used. Trisha had managed to walk to the shops AND have dinner cooked for Wednesday night!! We went for a walkabout town looking in lots of shops.
Thursday - I worked for 3 hours again and was greeted at the front door when I came home. I took them to the lovely Botanical Gardens and did a lot of walking around, when we got home my feet were ready to drop off, and they were ready to go for a walk around the lagoon!! I stayed inside, hee hee.

The lovebirds - Trish and Tony at the Botanical Gardens.
Here's Tony checking out the Bamboo Garden.
Here's Trisha, she matches the Camelias nicely!!
Here a Hen who was wandering around with her little chick. She came across a piece of biscuit and pecked it into pieces and pushed it over to her baby.
The Tree Chapel - The Botanical Gardens also had a gorgeous Tree Chapel. It would be a very pretty spot for a wedding.
Friday - I did the 3 hour of work thing again, then came home and got changed and we visited the Museum of Riverina, Wagga Wagga Art Gallery and the National Art Gallery and then came home to relax (phew). They went walkies again up to the shop, and I went with them!! They bought some luggage that was on special at Big W.
Saturday - off we went again on an adventure back to Tumbarumba and the Women's Pioneer Hut and then to the bakery. I knew their would be stuff at the Pioneer Hut that I didn't read last time, and yes, I did notice some different things this time. Trish and I unboxed some special items that have been put away but if you use the cotton gloves supplied, you're allowed to go looking. We looked at women's petticoats and corsets (yow!) and had a look at some baby blankets. All the stitching on the clothing was amazing. Most of the aprons had embroidery on them, how you would get them clean, especially being on cream/white fabric BUT some of the women wore two aprons. When someone should call at the house, she would take off the dirty one and have the 'good' one underneath. I'm thinking that maybe the collection that was kept were these good ones. Lots of home made high chairs and tables and the photographs still amaze me. The one taken in 1900 had young girls with big crocheted looking collars. Some big, some not so big. All the school photos had the children's names under them, along with their teacher. There would be 3 or 4 children in the same class with the same surname.
We also went to Wagga Beach for a look. We've seen a few people not with metal detectors!!

We came home through Adelong/Adelong Falls (not much happening in the falls department. Here are some interesting photos....
We also went to Wagga Beach for a look. We've seen a few people not with metal detectors!! Sunday - We went to our respective churches and came back for lunch. The train was meant to go at 1.09pm but ended up coming at 1.45pm so lots of time to chatter. Bruce and I did our week's shop and came home to a quiet house!! We still have a 1,000 piece jigsaw to finish that we started when Trish and Tony arrived. All the trees and sky is left. We were thinking of making them stay until it was finished, hee hee.
