Yo...Hi Rhonda,<BR/>Hope you get that much needed sleep. You have been busy in the few days I have been away. We did use some of your frugal trips on our weekend road trip. I packed coffee for the journey down and took the cooler so we could buy food and not have to eat at restaurants. Wish we could have taken fruit etc but since we were going over to the United States we are limited on what we can take. We did eat lunch one day at a restaurant to celebrate our wedding anniversary. But again was frugal in deciding to have lunch instead of dinner as it was half price and the same meal.<BR/><BR/>Your teachings are wonderful.<BR/><BR/>Thanks, PaulaPaulaBretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08325105400606691687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-29238575804644733022007-10-10T22:19:00.000+10:002007-10-10T22:19:00.000+10:00I'm sure you'll have a lovely afternoon!

A good reminder of things that I aspire to, too and what drew me to this blog of yours. But the greed part worries me! So I'll let you pass the love along and be happy that someone else will have such an excellent gift and spread those wise words in their own little patch of the world...<BR/><BR/>(I just woke up a short while back, 4:30 AM here.

I know we'll have a wonderful day out. When I sip my drink at lunchtime (ginger ale), I'll say a silent toast to you all. Or it may be not so silent and Hanno can join me in the toast and I might get the "you don't know these people" look. We are all living in strange times, friends, when we don't know our neighbours but we do know people who live, unseen, all round the world. I feel I do know a lot of you and therefore the lunch toast is appropriate. : )<BR/><BR/>Lisa J, tell the boys I loved the note and drawings. I just checked out your blog and will go back later, when I have more time, to read properly.<BR/><BR/>Polly, yes mum, I am looking after myself. ; )<BR/><BR/>Yes Bella, it's the gorgeous Julie Christie.<BR/><BR/>Lisa, I'm glad you had a sleep in.<BR/><BR/>Renee, I usually go to bed when I've finished everything I have to do. Usually around 7ish. I read for an hour or so and usually go to sleep between 8 and 9, although some nights I fall asleep as soon as I go to bed. When we have visitors at night, I'm usually really to pass out around 9 o'clock. LOL<BR/><BR/>Mimi, I'm the co-ordinator (mananger) of the Neighbourhood Centre in a town close by. We help disadvantaged folk and the homeless and we have a Flexischool running from the Centre. Flexischool is where kids who don't fit into regular school (teen mums, homeless kids, and those with behaviour problems) go to finish their schooling. It's the best job I've ever had and it's taught me a lot about the strengths and weaknesses of ordinary people. : )Rhonda Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00175785349529109084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-42113100349097408762007-10-10T10:10:00.000+10:002007-10-10T10:10:00.000+10:00rhonda have a wonderful day, you deserve it, I am ...rhonda have a wonderful day, you deserve it, I am seeing on the tv just now storm warnings for Qld, hope it is nowhere near you!

Isn't it tempting to be down on yourself for not achieving the things you plan! I love the process of your posts, in that even the small things are mentioned. Of course washing and ironing and answering letters aren't particularly glamorous or earth shattering, but they take time to complete and do well, and that in itself is worth noting. Have a gorgeous day up there on the coast overlooking the sea and take the time to feel revived.
