First one!!

Well, I have been thinking about starting my blog for some time now but kept putting it off because I really didn't know what I was going to say. So I figured I may as well just go ahead and do it!! So with some encouragement from my gorgeous friend Natasha, I am starting out on my blog experience tonight.

Firstly, to introduce myself...my name is Kathy. I am married to a wonderful man called David (or Tod is his nickname...long story!) and we have two beautiful children Mitchell & Sarah. Here are the kids...I know I am biased, but aren't they just too cute!

We also have two dogs...Boss and Bonnie. They are ex-farm working dogs (we moved from a farm a couple of years ago), but now they have the easy life and do absolutely nothing (except maybe bark at the occasional cat or possum...oh and dig holes in the garden and lawn!) They're not very cute and cuddly are they?? First here's Boss (he's an Irish Wolf Hound and is very BIG!)

And this is Boss's girlfriend Bonnie (she is a Kelpie/Cattle Dog cross).

As you can see from my profile, we live in Australia. In a very pretty little town called Cooroy, which is on the Sunshine Coast, Qld. We are very lucky here and have great weather nearly all year 'round. I will post some pics of our little part of the world soon. But for now, here is the view from our house....we love it here! This is looking out of our loungeroom door onto the outdoor patio area (note the hole in the grass in the foreground...we have Boss to thank for that!)

This is looking out over the edge of the garden, towards Noosa...only 15minutes drive away!

This next one is looking down onto our driveway and that's our shed down the bottom there. We have a total of 13acres...bit smaller than the farm, but still plenty of room for us now!! We even have a few of the neighbours cattle in our paddocks at the moment, so it still feels a bit rural!

Our winter here is normally pretty mild (although this year the locals have all been complaining about how cold it has been). Nothing compared to what they get down south...such as the snow I saw for the first time in Daylesford, Vic!! Now that was cold (and very pretty too!!)

I was very lucky to be visiting with my wonderful friend Natasha at the time and we had an absolute ball!! She is a great host and spoils me rotten when I visit! Here is a pic of us and her adorable son Leroy...he is such a sweetie!

OK, so I have managed to introduce myself...even added some photos (and all done while I was supposed to be cooking dinner...I hope this isn't a sign of things to come!) Anyway, I think I have done ok for my first attempt!! Next time will be much easier I am sure!

Thanks everyone and I will post again soon. Kathy xo
