Pictures for Mom

Mom asked for more pictures, so here are a few. You can tell things have been quiet around here because I'm taking pictures of laundry! I actually like hanging out the laundry. But you have to stay on top of it or else you'll need to do the wash and it will be raining! And you can't leave it after it's dry in case there's a shower. We do have an old dryer, but it takes less time to dry on the line than in the dryer!

Here are some pictures of the house. The fishpond is right out the front door and has about 10 little fish. There are neighborhood cats routinely seen with their paws in it! We have a cute letterbox. I love it that they are all different from house to house. Sometimes when we letterbox flyers I have to search around to find people's!

This last picture is my inspiration for decorating the house. Alan thinks it needs to look a little "homier" so I am going to get Eidrah, a lady from church, to do a big oil painting for me. She's really good. I found this bowl and love the teal color. So I am going for a cool, cottage-y look. Our walls are a really, really pale green and we have a dark blue couch, so I'm going to stick with blues and teal tones. I'm not going to do much, but at least I'll have a couple of things around! I collected these shells from Albany, on the Southern Ocean. They may have come from Antartica!

We are headed to Bunbury this weekend. That's a little town about three hours south of here. A couple of the members asked Alan to come down and preach there. I guess that's about it for now!
