monday

Yeaterday was the Blacktown Fun Run and Mayoral Walk.
As a family we entered the MAyoral Walk which was a 10km walk.
We were coming last which was fine with us. Because who would have thought that six months I would never had entered at all.
We ended coming in the last 20 as they removed the track markers early and people got lost.
I am paying for the walk now my legs are sore but I so proud of myself for even entering.

My brother become a granddad for the first time to Kaidyn born on the 25th of May.
My sister got her first grandson HAyden on the 9th of MAy who now shares his birthday with my youngest this is the first time in our families that a birthday is shared.

Went away for a Scrapbook weekend on the 18th of the month with Scrapbook Getaways had a great time took my friend Helen with me it was her first camp and she and I stayed up all night the first night.
We had great food and great company great prizes and just an all over good time.
