Treasured Memories 8

Do you find yourself falling into a pattern of daily grind, skipping the 'fun' activities because you don't have time or lack energy?Do creative arts, nature walks, drama, read aloud or spontaneous acts seem only a distant dream in your life?
Yet these Treasured Moments shared with loved ones uplift us, nurture our soul, remind us of the beauty and joy in our lives.
We want Treasured Moments for ourselves, for our children, for our families but how can we make it happen?
... Commitment ... Encouragement ... Support ... Ideas ... Plans.

I invite you to join us every Saturday and share your plans and ideas, your targets and goals and your stories ... your 'Treasured Moments'. In this way we may inspire one another, encourage ourselves and start achieving our dreams. Hosted by Erin at Seven Little Australians and Counting

My Treasured Moments this week are:

1.
Watching Sir N succeed at floating on his back during swimming lessons.

2.
Enjoying the anticipation of going away for the long weekend here in Victoria.  Tuesday is Melbourne Cup Day and we are leaving tomorrow to join extended family for three days up at Mansfield where Paul is intending to spend a day fishing and Sir N and I will join my dad for a 4x4 adventure.

3.
Watching my oldest rose Mr T connect with his younger cousins and brother one afternoon. 

4.
Seeing the pleasure it gave Paul to be involved with the Gorilla translocation from Melbourne Zoo to Werribee Open Range Zoo yesterday.

5.
Seeing my second rose Miss J hand in her final project for her Cert III in Children's Services.  Can't wait for graduation.

6.
Baking home made rusks (recipe to come) with Sir N and cousin Miss A with Granny in preparation for our trip away.

7.
Today I had fun redesigning my blog look and was blessed by Shabby Blogs tutorials and free images.
