The weather cleared enough this morning to spend the day outside. Uncle Glenn arrived with his big boys, the C’s and a box of clays. Having had a little taste of shooting on the farm, the kids were keen to have a go. In previous years they were too small to be able to use the guns. This trip they …
Uncle Glenn Rocks…….
Uncle Glenn hasn’t really spent much time with the kids over their lives. We’ve always lived far apart. Today, however, he gained legendary status in the eyes of Grand Master D and Miss Gremlin…. After the BBQ he took them out in the back block and taught them how to drive. They won’t forget this trip any time soon 🙂 …
Buddy the Kangaroo
Miss Gremlin has a new best friend…Buddy the baby kangaroo. He’s my brother’s pet and is very cute. He thinks he’s a dog though. We spent an afternoon with my family and buddy entertained the kids for ages. Even in Australia it’s a novelty to have a kangaroo as a pet. Glenn got him while out shooting and killed his …
Wildlife Mishap
Today we went out to the place where Dad’s beloved little dog has made a new home. She was all alone too much here on the farm and with Ma being allergic, circumstances made life hard for both Ma and Whisper. So it was decided that Whisper would go to another place. An ad was answered in the local paper …
Continuing Kids Adventures
UPDATED- Back on the farm from the city. The kids had an absolute blast with their cousins. It’s this type of thing I miss for them, they don’t miss it because they’ve never had it but I remember my childhood just like that. The huge family gatherings on a pretty regular basis. All the kids running everywhere. It was a …
Kangaroos Everywhere
Today as we headed down into town we came across a mob of wild kangaroos. They live in the hills around the area and are often seen on the farm. For kids growing up in New York it was quite a treat. We stopped and watched them for a while. The big Buck was standing protectively. If we had gotten …
Taekwondo Down Under
Grand Master D and Miss Gremlin do Taekwondo at home with Harlem Taekwondo, lead by Master Fall. They’ve been doing it for about 4 months now, 5 days a week, 2 hours a day. It has improved Miss Gremlin’s physique incredibly and Grand Master D has great form. Well the connection with the sport does not end there. My cousin …
Hooroo……See you in the Futcha
We’re leaving this afternoon, while we’re flying here’s some fun………. Don’t be scared for us. We’re not likely to see all of these things on our trip. Probably only half 🙂 I’m skipping off to finish the packing.  Cop ya later!
This is NOT a Travel Blog
So we’re going away, we’re leaving the country, we’re heading off into the wild blue yonder, we’re travelling Down Under….on QANTAS of course 🙂  We’re going home, not this home, the other home, for a visit. I can’t be the only person who has 2 homes in different countries. It’s just how I refer to it all.
To Cook or Not to Cook the Pet…….
My brother has a kangaroo, well my brother, his wife and their 5 kids and dog and puppies, have a kangaroo. They live in the country, luckily, because keeping a kangaroo in the city is frowned upon even in Australia. And before you ask, no they don’t jump down the main streets in Sydney and not everyone has one …
