Yay....I finally graduated from my TAFE Course...
nearly 2 years worth...surgery in between...caring for a daughter with a disability...
looking back I sometimes wonder how I did it all!!!
Geo has already made this pattern...now it's my turn!!!
Thank you so much dear Geo!!!
Lyn together with our fellow student Rob run a delightful Bed and Breakfast...
to which we were invited to a meal...more on this another time...
One of the teachers Debbie insisted I have a pic taken with my family to put on the blog!!!
'The Certificate'
And then unbeknown to me JoJo brought home the balloon from our table!!!
A great night...and even though it was a bit harder than I thought it would be I'm going to miss these classes...

Our oven here at home has died...my birthday on the weekend and I was hoping to make a gluten free cake...so I had the idea to ask a local cafe/restaurant here that makes a lot of gluten free food if they could make me one...blow me down they said yes...
and I have ordered a White Chocolate and Fig cake...figs are soaked in Cointreau...
and I am so looking forward to this!!!
