trip to the Farmer’s Market
This weekend as a treat our family went to our local farmer’s market. We thought it would be a great way for the boys to see the different types of produce that are grown in our area.
We are no strangers the farmer’s market but in recent years, we were not able to visit. That has changed. Now we plan on being regular visitors to the Farmer’s market. It was indeed a good morning to visit so we

Weddel Island
Weddell is the largest offshore island in the Falklands group offering 63,000 acres and many spectacular miles of coastline for exploration. Though Weddell suffered from the introduction of land-based predators like the Patagonian fox during the mid 1900s, the island still offers access to a variety of wildlife such as gentoo and magellanic penguin, sea lions, striated and crested caracara, variable hawk and numerous breeds of small birds. Foxes, though reduced in population can still be seen along with a small herd of reindeer more recently introduced. Albatross and petrels can be observed feeding offshore.
There are many walking opportunities on the island including Mount Weddell, for fantastic views across the island, and full day excursions to Loop Head. 4WD tours and drop-offs are also available.
Excellent self catering accommodation is available in the main settlement. Camping is possible.

Juggling Time
Recently, I took a month long break from time online. I felt that I was not giving myself or my family the attention that I and they deserved. I was trying to to juggle everything in my life: housework, homeschooling, financing, wife and mother and slowly things started to fall and I could not keep up the juggling act. I was not finding time for me and the things I enjoyed doing anymore. I was
Beyond Imagination
As a teenager I had four passions.

BALLET
SINGING
HISTORY
I was a very shy young girl and spent my time after a day at high school, in the local library..
Books can take you into another world. In fact, the great part is, they take you away to places you only dream of.
I love the Old Masters, Rembrandt, Rubens, Da Vinci and Constable.
I can gaze at these works of art for hours.
They hold so many hidden treasures.
Their talent is beyond my understanding.
I try to paint, but I am no real artist, only a novice.
One lady Blogger on here I admire, is Clint's beautiful wife Cindy.
Her site is: http://cindyellison.blogspot.com/
You can even join her on Facebook where you'll see more of her work.
While looking through a book on French Art, BACK THEN.....
I turned the page to get the shock of my life..

There I was!!
The hair colour was darker, and the style different, yet otherwise it was me!
This painting was of a famous woman named Madame Juliet Recamier`
(and not a very desirable type) dated 1800.
The artist, Jacques Louis David.
My ancestry is French on my mothers side, and if there is one place in the world I would like to visit, it is Versailles.... (dream on...!)
Isn't it magnificent?? I believe the art work inside is out of this world.
I'd have to leave Ray at home.. he takes a quick look and runs on to the next adventure.
Maybe Cindy and Sandie would like to go with me...??
(I'm still dreaming..)
I wonder??
Have you ever seen your double?
If so, tell us all about it?
