Over a month gone since last time.

Lots have been happening but not for publication. The 2 weeks half of our family were away in the snow flew so quickly. I had all these plans but work got in the way. Talking about work.. great excitement the brothers that own the bakery where I work are expanding in to Gawler . Our food is so popular that there is a need to bring it to the people who can't or won't walk or drive the 5 mins to Gawler South were we are now. So they will own two outlets as well as delivering their stock to towns all over the state. We are having big changes to staffing ,uniforms etc. We are as thrilled for the boys as they are. Their business is 40 years old this year so it is very successful, particularly since they took over from their Dad a few years ago. I will be working more hours. Our front of shop manager dropped a bombshell on us at our staff meeting last week. She is 37 and told us she never wanted kids... guess what... they are pregnant and having twins. Apparently they have been trying for 5 years not even their family knew. Great excitement for them and for us. Jackie and Robert are two beautiful people and will make great parents. Good luck to them. I work at a family owned business and love it. I feel very blessed to work at a place that doesn't have a work agreement ...yet. They are flexible and so are the staff that work for them. We are very loyal. How do you think I have managed to have 5 months off for travelling over the last year? Lots of stuff still happening with my Dad and Mum hopefully that will be resolved soon. I am worried about Mums wellbeing as much as Dads health. We will keep plodding on there. Some good days sometimes with him. We have been catching up with the kids and grand kids a lot lately which is a huge bonus living in the same town. We have caught up with our nephew Paul as well since being back from his prolonged working holiday to N.Z. He is a very interesting lad with a very bright future ahead of him once he decides what he wants to do . Ah to be 23 again with the world at your feet. Of course he has the travel bug well and truly. He is working at Telstra with his sister Lee and Nick at the same workplace. Missing Adam and Eva a lot again ....it is a year tomorrow since they left Australia. That has flown.
