Hi Jeanette,
thank you for visiting my blog and your kind comment!
Loved listening to the music while I looked through your pictures. The pastures look very dry, but the vines are bright green! What kind of wine is being produced in that valley? I love Australian Shiraz! :-)
Dear Jan ~~ I am so glad you are feeling so well, must be a few early nights that have helped. I am very glad that Pauline got a good report and a 12 mth return visit. Terrific.
Your photos are nice as usual Glad you had some time to shop. My table and chairs were delivered today, but I couldn't get anything out of the 2 boxes. They are jammed in so tight. John is coming tomorrow to put it all together for me. Photo to follow.
Take great care, my friend, Love, Merle.
Hi Jen. Hope everything went well at your sister's doctor appointment.
Thanks for sharing photos of your day. The weather looked weather on your day out. Thanks for sharing those interesting sights.
We have a long weekend because Monday is a holiday. Enjoy your weekend.
Take care.
Glad everything went well at the hospital for your sister. It's a lovely feeling knowing you have a year's grace before returning.
Pleased to see you enjoyed yourselves fter the appointment. I hope you stuffed your faces in that restaurant. The food sounded great.
Love the water tower shaped like a wine bottle!! Good news about the 12 month checkup.
What a wonderful trip with all the old farms and such along the road. And to top it off......wine!!!
\_/\_/ <---that's worth a couple shots o wine for me too.
What a lovely day you and Pauline had together. So glad her visit to the hospital turned out well and no more visits for 12 months. Yippee!
I loved the photos you shared with us. I love visiting other countries through the eyes of my blogging companions. Even the photos of the old barns are charming.
The food sounded wonderful, yum, yum. Did you have time to visit the wineries?
Close to where we live, there are wineries and if you visit their shops they give you, your choice of a sample of the wine. After 4 or 5 visits to different shops, I have to stop tasting the samples, or I would start staggering out the shop doors. lol...Have a splendid week-end.
It makes me smile with you just reading about your week. So glad you've had a good time! Big events, fun times and look at those wineries. :) Oh, and did my ears pick up when you've mentioned the pool man! I came back to snowy countryside after spending overnight in the cement jungle of Budapest.
You know, I've lived here now just a few years short of a decade and kept complaining that it does not snow. :) Oh, but it does and in the country it stays white. Guess what my cousin told me, 'well, that's what I've been telling you for years'. Was I sitting on my ears?
Hi Jan, Nice photos and good news for Pauline, stay happy.
Hi Jeanette,
It's good your sister is doing well- It looks like you all had a fine day of being out and about! I just love seeing what your world is like! :) It's very lovely scenery there!!
Hugs))

Hi Jen, I love trips to wineries, is always a lot of fun, specially after the tasting.
I so enjoy your your photos of your countryside, Jen. It's so interesting to me to compare your area with where I live. While there are many similarities, there are a surprising number of differences.
So glad Pauline got a good checkup. :o)
Hope you have a great new week!
Love and hugs,
Diane
At least I see palm trees on your blog ! I came back from Egypt yesterday and the temperature difference is very hard ! from 30° to 2° ! and grey ! Sigh * !
What wonderful news for Pauline. I love all the photo especially the old shed and barn. If only they could talk, the stories they could tell. Peace
Hi Jeanette -- You are a good sister, I'm sure your being along (and driving?) made her day better.
I like your old farm and barn pictures. You must have had your camera ready all the time.

Hi Jeanette,
Too bad about your game I'm sure you'll get them next time.
I enjoy the pictures that you posted, funny thing I just saw the movie crocadile hunter on tv with the irwins. There was a lot of you beautiful scenery in the movie.

Hi Jen, It sounds like a good day out, with good results for all.I wonder why you have 5 or 6 photo's out of 15 wine related???does that tell us something I wonder?.
I always love your photos so much. I'm glad Pauline had a good check-up. When I see how close the two of you are, I wish I had a sister.
Hello dear Jen:-)
Finally staying home today and catching up with my blogging friends! I so enjoyed seeing the pictures taken on your day trip and such great news about Pauline not having to go back to the Oncology Centre for another year!! I just love the way they've made that water tower look like a bottle of wine...brilliant advertisement for the wine industry there as well! lol Seeing the wineries reminds me a lot of Niagara on the Lake near Niagara Falls where they have many wineries. Hope all is well and that you're having fun with your bowling:-) xoxo
Sounds like an interesting day with interesting pictures.
I feel a little bit like I've been on a trip.

G'day Jen! Congrats to your sister! That's good news! You sure had a great day! Thanks for your comment. I came home yesterday sick with food poisoning which I got in Egypt last week Wednesday.
Good after noon Jeanette :-) I apologise for my lack of blogging. I have been crazy busy at work...but I know that is no excuse. So I have dropped everything for the moment and am popping around to say hello to everyone. Wonderful news about your sister :-) You look happy and healthy . Cheers ~
Hi Jen. Good to hear Pauline is ok for the next 12 months. Must be a relief for her and the family.
I haven't been to Albury-Wodonga for 30 years and probably wouldn't recognise the place now. I have friends in Wodonga and one day I'll get back there...
Hi Jen. Quite the busy day for you. Glad to hear that Pauline got good news and doesn't have to see that doctor again for another year.
Love the old barn shots!
Take care and have a great week.
Lisa
Jan, I have an award for you today on my blog. I think you will like it. I hope it is Okay with you.
