While on summer vacation from school, I went on vacation from that vacation, and headed down under, then went on vacation from that vacation, for a long weekend in prevelly, Western Australia. While there, we stayed in a wonderful holiday surf house and celebrated the 4th of July, a holiday from my original vacation location. all I know is that I am on vacation.
These aussies know how to party.

Nope, just one. what do you mean i should toss it back? i’m throwing it on the barbie and making dinner for all of us. loved the dolphins who sailed along with us and many thanks to my hardy crew for a beautiful day at sea in koombana bay, Western Australia and for helping me to catch my first, and only fish. Ever.

Is that the ice cream truck or a kookaburra I hear out there?
mom told me that when you hear the music it means the truck is all out of ice cream.

while walking barefoot along the back beach this morning, I was amused to discover that Australian kids are also willing to brave the winter elements to experience the joys of sledding.
Luckily there was a roaring fire and hot cocoa waiting.
some things are universal.
what a lucky find. while visiting my daughter in perth, australia i was delighted to discover that the friend we were meeting for tea was actually jenni, the artist behind the amazing world of art candy. jenni, modestly describes her work as, ‘sweetness with soul,’ and that is an understatement. i’ve admired her work online for quite a while, and am happy to know that others around the world have discovered her. jenni hand-makes unique cards, paintings, alphabets, and other magical delights. while there, i saw her works in progress and was even allowed a peek into her glitter drawer. it was an amazing morning spent with a wonderful, creative spirit. since art school, jenni has been inspired by a love of language, especially slang, colour, and a sheer exuberance for life. if you have a moment, take a peek into her work and her world, through the link i’ve provided. i think you’ll be delighted by what you find.
