Pinnacle Valley Resort Merrijig, fantastic place to stay
We stayed at Pinnacle Valley Resort for 2 nights for Xmas 2010. It wasn't long enough, there is a fantastic salt water pool, tennis courts, 18 hole mini golf course. We didn't have time to go on the row boats or fish in the lake, or go on a trail ride on horses. Beware it is all set on a wonderful mountainside. As we live in a very flat town, it was a novelty for about 5 mins.But spectacular views of Mt Buller and Mt Stirling. It is about 20 kms below Mt Buller . See website Pinnacle Valley Resort.
Bonne Doon Eildon Weir is filling
Most of Australia has been in drought for the last 10 years, and during 2010 the Eildon Weir has become over 60% full compared to 17% during 2009. This photo shows the water nearly up to the railway bridge, highest it has been since 2001.This area has had no water in it for years.

WIll this end up being a UFO ???
This is my attempt at being crafty for November 2010. These triangles are for some bunting/flags i wish to make this week. I am hoping my sewing machine is fixed before Friday..
House Rules
Great book, that explores the affects children with autism can have on the family and also the affect the way a family interacts and how it can affect the child with autism.
My sister's keeper
Sad book, the book was way better than the movie. The movie didnt have near as much detail about the character or the story plot as the book contained.
Chateau Tabhilk Winery Nagambie
A photo i found in my library of places we have been. This was taken a couple of years ago.
Walking track flooded September 2010
The walking tracks were flooded along the river in Shepparton, during September 2010 floods.
Time flies when you are having fun
It seems that I let a few months go by before i get back to my blog.
What have i been doing?
I joined Phoenix Trading as an independent trader and am loving selling wonderful cards and stationary to my friends and family.
I have a fetish for stationary and quite a collection of pens and notepads all over my desk. So the cards I sell are what I feel passionate about and are so lovely and great quality www.phoenix-trading.com.au/web/genevievejackson.
I have spent time reading, another favourite past time. I will put up images of some of the books i have had the pleasure to enjoy recently.
Craft , has included a bit of quilting, then my sewing machine decided it didnt want to have a working reverse button, so at the moment it is in getting fix. I have been cutting up some triangles to make some material bunting. I just need sewing machine to be fixed so i can actually finish them and not have another UFO sitting around.
Kids are breaking arms, playing tennis and swimming , learning the guitar and helping me with my cards (a pocketmoney incentive). The eldest child learning how to mow the lawn, and as we have had the wettest October with over 100ml over rain this month and floods in our town during September the lawn keeps growing quite quickly.Our house was ok during the floods but had they gone up another metre we might have been evacuating, as in 1992 our house got a bit wet. I now know how important it is to have a kit ready to evacuate with, although I havent quite got that down pat yet.
I have become addicted to some of the games on facebook and tending to a farm has become a very non productive ending to the day. With the help of the kids we have a great time viturally farming.
I have been looking at blogs today and admiring the motivation and creativeness in people and mums around the world.
Cheers and only 55 days of shopping left til xmas.
