Hey there Georgie Girl, what you got there with that beautiful smile, lot of presents I see.

A message to Cathy and Kevvie

Tony the Michael Jackson Look with the black glove

Darn you know all that fish you ran out of the Airport to give me, because I love it so much Cath, Well let me tell you, I did not get a darn piece of it, not fair I say I got it all prepared and marinated just ready to enjoy and I never got a Bloody piece, just had everyone telling me how beautiful it was hmmmmm deeelicous it was disgusting, Ahhhhhhh well you better bring me some more down and none of the buggers will get any this time, that is for sure.

P.S my audacious son came over today, they all call him Michael Jackson it is hilarious, I tell you, he has to wear a glove now for the next 18 months, and the darn thing is black what a laugh, anyway getting back to the P.S he asked me if I had some more fish for him. Well I can tell you the look I gave him, They had just eaten what they had, and came for more, doesn't matter that Mum didn't get any, noooooooo Mum would give it to him, he was just taking a chance so he says.

And Kevvie you know all those Bowen Mangoes you sent me well same Bloody thing not one I did not get one of them, I dont know this sharing thing, did not work out to well for me this year, did plenty of work never got to enjoy.

Another Christmas is here 2005 and another year about to begin ahhhhhhhh I must be getting old they are coming so past now. Poor decrepid me

Well Laure is off to Sydney and Melbourne with Hanna for 2 weeks, Sally is off to Alice Springs for 7 days with her friend, and Kim is hanging around Brisbane. Me, well I will be cooking for an Army and busily shopping for pressies for the Grandkids, Ahhhhhhh cant you just see the money flashing away before your eyes. There will be 30 0f us this year all the family here except for Mark and Mel, but I expect they will call for sure.

I got a Christmas present from Kristen, wonderful she is flying me up for 1 week to see them, isnt that a wonderful present, so I will be sharing my time between Kris and her Parents on the cane farm, really looking forward to seeing them again, it has been a year 18 months since Kristen got married, so there will be plenty to catch up on.

Kev is coming and picking me up to go up to Cairns for a day or two to catch up with Brian and Ethel, it will be great I havent seen them for so long, they missed the reunion so there will be plenty to talk our heads of about. Will leave here New Years Day, better watch out guys, here I come.
