Chelsea in the flowers, originally uploaded by She’ll Be Apples.
Yesterday, we headed out to King’s Park for a wander to enjoy the sunshine and the spring flowers.
I borught my camera with me (as I usually do now, whenever we go anywhere that I might find interesting) and I caught Chelsea off guard.
She may look like she’s smiling for the camera but in fact, she’s smiling at something Brian had just said and happened to look my way at just the right moment.
Beautiful, isn’t she?
Things that make you…

Cry
- Working on a project with seemingly insurmountable work to be done.
- Getting a photo of your friends baby in her “big girl bed” and realizing how long it’s been since your teenage daughter was a baby.
- Looking for change in your purse for a bottle of water (when dying of thirst) and finding…. lint
- How slowly the clock seems to move on a friday afternoon
Smile
- Meeting what you thought was an impossible deadline for your project and getting a pat on the back from your boss.
- Searching for, and finding, the very same photo of your own baby in her first “big girl bed”
- Remembering how clever you are to have left change in your desk at work for emergency water bottles.
- Realizing that since you came into work early, you get to go home in an hour instead of three.
And now, I totally want a winch

Recently, Brian and I decided that it was time to upgrade the ute. We were both dead tired of the “white work ute” look (him more than me) and he wanted something a little flashier. More bells and whistles and whatnot. (Is whatnot an actual word or just a lazy persons slur? - I’m using it anyway)
After a lot of consideration, we decided to move away from Toyota (gasp!) and spring for a Mitsubishi Triton. It’s perty lookin’, it has all the bells and whistles and whatnot (hehe) a person could ask for and it’s a 4 wheel drive.
*insert collective “Oooooh!” here.
So now that we can go off-roading, we of course feel the burning need to drive on surfaces that are not meant for cars. Beaches are pretty cool, rocky trails are cooler.. and hey! camping is fun right?
This is totally going to change our lives! *Note sarcasm. For those of you that know me, you know that Murphy keeps a constant eye on my doings so it stands to reason that we’ll need rescue gear ‘just in case.’ Recently, friends of ours wound up paying over $1000.00 for a tow to get out of trouble (as an alternative to sleeping over at creepy tow-truck-guys house - as offered.)
Now I really don’t want to be spending nights in the bush with creepy tow-truck guys so I guess we’re gonna need a winch.
But first…. it’d be great if the truck was ready…
Watch this space!
