I have to say I find that the longer I am at home and the more involved with homemaking, the more selfish I am with my time and the less I want to go anywhere else!

I've thought during the past six months that you must miss your simple life while writing. I am making laundry detergent, tomato sauce and bread today. As well as sewing and gardening. We love our simple life and our boys love coming here with their children. We are on a hectare with two dams, a windmill, our own sewerage treatment plant, tank water, chooks, ducks, dog, cat, vegetable garden and fruit trees. Heaven on Earth I call it. I think Kevin particularly likes the fact that there are very few people around. Haha, you would understand. We have visitors call from the old Glenden days and it is nice to see them. If you are around the Maryborough area again any time we would love to catch up.

I did my meal plan yesterday and am writing my cleaning/washing plan today. It will be hard but once we're all in the new routine I know we can make it work.

I know exactly what you mean about getting back into the chores and homemaking. My back has mended and I spent a lot of the weekend catching up on all the jobs that hadn't got done. There's sewing and gardening on my list this week too. It's such a satisfying feeling.
