When she wakes me, she takes me back home.
I've had one of the best weekends I've had in a long time!
On Friday evening, J, The Boy and I headed down to Bathurst to visit with The Boy's family. I really enjoy spending time with his family which suprises some people. But they're so easy going and I feel comfortable around them - more so than my own in some ways. I guess because I don't feel like they expect too much from me or that I'm a disappointment... I don't know..
Anyway, we stopped by to visit his Aunt and Uncle on the way which was always entertaining. Although we did have to endure a baked cheese and onion "risotto" ball with banana in the middle. That was an interesting moment I hope not to repeat for a while! The banana wasn't too bad but the cheesey onion rice on the outside was not exactly... appertising. We all got through it though and we're better people for it!
Then dropped into visit The Boy's dad and White Mother to hand over the ginger beer before finally getting to his Mothers place.
The Boy and I were quite amused that J got the most attention from his Mother upon our arrival. And J seemed to be quite happy about it! It was pretty funny..
Saturday, I spent the morning playing with the dogs - Bonnie and Nicky boy. So freaking adorable!! Poor Nicky was just trying to do sitting while Bonnie (being the little pup that she is) wanted to run around and play and waste as much energy as possible! Even she exhausted me after a while! Then we headed into town for a bit to grab lunch and groceries. The cafe workers weren't exactly the smartest. They tried to make a hamburger with shredded HAM instead of a meat patty then couldn't add 6 + 7 together so asked for $11 instead. Some people...
Then it was back to The Boy's Dad and White Mothers place in the afternoon. Spent sometime in his Dad's snake shed drinking and watching the snakes have their lunch and talking shit. Had a look at all the cute lizards which only made me want one even more. Oh! They have beady eyes and little feet and do scurrying everywhere! 8)
Then the Kids recruited us to play Monopoly with them while we had afternoon tea.
It as a bit short lived as we all had short attention spans.
Then Black Mother came with the Dorkster and we all waited for the other Brother and had drinks and more cheese and crackers.
Dinner was take out pizza - which was massive and very filling, and garlic bread. Black Mother made this awesome apple crumble for dessert which was so freakin awesome!! I still can't believe how good her cooking is!
We all spent the rest of the evening drinking and talking and I had heaps of fun. Eventually we all headed back to Black Mothers place to get some rest.
Sunday was a bit of a lazy day. Black Mother made us all breakfast. And I don't know what she does but the tomatoes and mushrooms are the best I've eaten and her poached eggs are perfect. It's crazy!!
We headed to The Boys old school for their fair. It was a bit quiet when we got there and we seemed to miss most of the action so we headed back pretty quickly and spent the rest of the arvo lazying about the house (or sleeping in my case).
Spent more time playing with the dogs before admitting defeat that I can't keep up with Bonnie!
Headed back to the Berra after dinner and more apple crumble ^-^ I was a bit sad to leave and kind of wished we could spend a few more days. But alas. The boys have jobs to get back to! I feel slightly left out...
