A MARRIAGE MADE IN HEAVEN




THE WEDDING KISS!!




How do I know they are married you may ask??




I was there.




My children were actually the celebrants at the marriage of Maverick to Chloe.




They got married on our trampoline.




It has now been blessed.




but they didn't have a honeymoon.


AND THE MEANING IS??





And the meaning is-



"PSALTERY"



An ancient instrument that is played by plucking strings.



Angel said- Psaltery & Vinegar is what you have on your chips.



Gill thinks it's just plain salty along with Cabbage who thinks it may be the salt factory.



Lisha said another word for assualt. (Good one Lisha)



I was thinking along the lines of the salt thing to, then rethinking I thought Maybe the weather might just be a bit "psaltery" (Sultry) as it is at the moment!!



Thank you for playing see you all again next week - same day same place.



CAROLINE XOXO.

BUSY BUSY BUSY!!



Sorry not much posting here of late, but bear with me and hopefully things shall return to normal once school starts back next Tuesday.



Work has been busy, as well as the run around getting school supplies, new uniforms etc. Lane starts high school this year & is very nervous about it. So nervous in fact that he has given himself a dose of diarrhoea.



Lane had a specialist appointment yesterday and they checked his eyes again. He has very good eyesight that we knew, but we also knew that the muscles around his eyes weren't doing their job properly. This makes it really hard for him to focus on something and then refocus on another thing. It means to copy off the board is horrendous for him or if he lifts his head from the book he is reading it takes awhile to re find his place. This is a common problem in Autistic/Aspergers children as poor muscle tone is common.



Anyway we have done extensive therapy for this in the past but alas it has not worked. So now the next step is glasses but with special lenses that will help him with this but not affect his sight which is good. (If that makes sense)



Lane has only to wear these while reading, doing models or anything intricate and probably only for 2-3yrs. He is not very happy so hopefully he will see results early on and be encouraged by that. I think it's a very hard time for a child to have to wear glasses, just about to start high school & becoming a teen.
I have been dropping in and reading a few blogs even if I have not commented much of late.
Hope you all have a lovely day today

FLOWERS

Well looking at the first picture your probably baffled on why this post is titled "Flowers"

Easy let me explain.
Today I was cleaning & re-arranging things "as you do" and thought I would put some of my utensils next to the stove. Wooden in one, Stainless Steel in the other.
So I grabbed these two pottery vases that I got from Spain. I've had them for years & have always filled them full of blooms. They do the job perfectly & are just the right size for my needs.

So now I will be using this clear glass vase that I have had in the cupboard and never used.
The only thing that worries me is, Sometimes I am not the best at changing the water.
Aggh yuk. You know what I mean it ends up looking like compost soup. At least the pottery vases hid my domestic weakness!!

Anyway suppose I'll have to wait for someone to give me flowers to try my new/old glass vase out.
Hint Hint.
I think Valentines Day is soon maybe I will have a secret admirer??

SUMMER FUN!!



What a lovely way




to spend a hot summers day.



out on the water.......


I was reading the statistics of my blog who reads what etc etc.


I was not surprised to see that my favourite post among Aussies was my post on Water skiing. Us Aussies simply love our water & water sports. Just look at our Olympic swim team. (gloating is not nice is it!! being proud is!!)

What surprised me though was that my favourite post in the good old U.S.A was a very simple post I did on my cat labeled "MARMALADE CATS"


Are ginger cats very popular in the states??

Can someone please let me know on this one, it is baffling me.

AND THE MEANING IS???

"TRIUMVIRATE"


Pronounced -Try-umm-vir-rit.

meaning a group of three people in joint control.

But now I know the correct meaning it just sounds like trouble to me. I mean c'mon how can you possibly have THREE people in joint control. How many bosses are in your family(Mum's Rule)
So my meaning must be Trouble!!

Lisha says the meaning is - Some kind of immunisation

Mari says the meaning is an unbeatable virus that has chased you off to bed!!

Thanks for visiting my blog today Mari I hope you enjoyed playing Wednesday's Word and come again to play next week!! Had a quick sneak over to your blog shall return again soon.

And lets not forget the little cabbage that seems to think it is a new Pharmaceutical name for Viagra. Now that really cracked me up. I hope no prescriptions are written out for this one you wouldn't know if you were going to receive a immunisation or a Viagra pill. Could be a worry. Failing that you would come down with a terrible virus.

Thanks once again for playing see you same time same place next week for Wednesday's Word.
