The Simple things in Life.

The finer things in life are the Simple things in life. Today my greatest gift was time just talking, listening and hugging my family. My wonderful Kate came and did the groceries with/for me. Who would believe what gems can come from grocery shopping. We have the most eclectic range of conversation, that is what makes it so precious. This time between childhood and young adult is proving to be such an enjoyable and humbling time. It is such an awkward time in life, but thankfully it is proving to be fruitful for both of us and our relationship.

It is a school holiday treat to get John West Prawns and cocktail sauce and just sit and chat. And boy did we do that. The sauce is not on our diet, but the $5 special price worked for our budget, we enjoyed them immensely. It's these moments that make the hard parenting days all worth it. I am so blessed to have such a sensible and level headed Daughter. Yes she is human and does have her days :)  I think this holiday treat is made so much more valuable because it will be Kate's last school holiday, as of the 14th of November she will no longer be a High School Student. Yes I am scared but excited for her and us. If our 4 Littlie's are half as much pleasure as Kate is, we will be very proud parents.

We had the blessing with meeting up with a family friend who we met before Kate was born. She is such a good lady and always delights in catching with us all. It is so lovely tracing important events and moments with family and friends, it is like playing the highlights of the "All time Best Movies". Can I tell you that the stars of our movies, have the most beautiful faces and hearts that light up the world. That is worth so much more than any THING or Oscar.
