Monique and Rikki
"Friends Forever"

and is really starting to ride it well - As you can see!!!

A hard day at WORK!!!

Ashleigh and I have been busy doing archiving today. It was like a sauna out in that room and not real clean either. We have only just started, there is so much more to be done - but it will make things so much easier to find when we are finished.
Well the day is almost over here at work and now we are about to go home and get some cattle in that we are selling tomorrow!! It has cooled down a bit now so it shouldn't be too bad.
Rikki and Monique have spent the day at home today - hopefully having a rest as they have been pretty full on since Monique arrived.
We are going to go to Coffs tomorrow or Wednesday so I will show everyone your blog!!!
Love you lots - take care!!

What's Happening

Well we have had a pretty busy week, getting back to work etc. Shane and Kelly left on Thursday to head back home, but Monique decided to stay with us for a week or two. We are planning on going to Coffs sometime through the week and then take Monique home the week after. Hopefully we will get to spend a couple of days with them in Qld and maybe take in a theme park or something!!!!
