Except the shade will be lush and tasselled and beaded etc..

I am in love...:)

I am back from our road trip...

and i have learnt the following:

* you cannot laugh too much.

* you CAN drop the F-bomb too much.

* our country is So beautiful.

* and so are the sweet girls we spent the weekend with.:)))

* I still LOVE Vanilla coke.

* I cannot teach  a four hour mini book class in two hours.

* threading beads IS FUN!!!

* so is thrifting.

* if you want to bargain with someone over the price of an item.. you should not squeal with excitement when you first find said item.

* The only time there is no roadhouse.. is when you NEED petrol.

* I go to the loo a LOT.

* Jilly and I will be doing this again.

* Glen Innes doesnt see too many lesbians.. so they make up their own.:)(Not that there is anything wrong with that.)

* Rust is a beautiful thing.

* so is sisterhood.

*Jilly and I know WAY too many dodgy country songs, but Jilly wins.

* Australia has the most robust prickles in the world.

* cotton blankets dont dry you, they just kind of spread the water evenly over you.

* Jeans worn for 5 days DONT walk by themselves, but by the 6 day..

* We grow our roos VERY big here in Oz.. 18 metres tall to be precise. ( as  visually measured by Jilly as we walked back to our room at Lake Keepit.) Funny cos he looked about 5 foot tall to me....

peace.
