September 2026

We spent the last month at Elanora on the Gold Coast with Stephen who was busy getting renovations done to his house. Marg's remaining siblings live on the Gold Coast and in Brisbane so she was able to spend time visiting with them also.

Last visit Steve completed a deck on the southern side of the house and began work on having one comnpleted  on the eastern side of the house which was successfully achieved.

With the help of cousin Greg and Uncle John he also replaced a terrace retaining wall on the southern side of the house. More pics on these items next time.

During the month Nick and Catie both found themselves incapacitated  by illness at the same time so Jess and Sue  shared three extra children for a week which the children seem to have enjoyed immensely. All back to normal again now.Here's the end verse of a poem I found on a piece of paper. Don't know when I wrote it.

                       Such happenings don't make right or wrong

                         But should warn us to be careful.

                         Look for positive meanings

                          In the words and deeds of others,

                            And be prepared to say "sorry"

                            To offended sisters and brothers.

Until next time be kind to one another,

Cheers,

Merv
