I live in an itty bitty country town in NE Central Victoria, Australia. It is the most beautiful spot and I find myself continuously thanking the Lord for placing me here. We are very blessed.

This afternoon, dh and 3 of our children took our 2 dogs down the creek for a bit of a paddle in the cool, clear water. We're having a lovely cool break in the weather at the moment but it's still warm enough for shorts, t-shirts and splashing about. The dogs absolutely love the creek and so do the youngest of our 7 children. I forgot to take my camera as we often do things like this but I never think to record these moments. One of the wonderful things about having a blog is taking the time to record these special moments not only for fellow bloggers and/or friends to read, but also as a reminder of how important it is to record the 'little' things in our lives today for our family members to reflect on in the future.

My 7 yo son and I collected a few cicada shells. I've never seen them complete with wings before. Jack (7 yo) just loved them.

Boy, you really are "around the world" from us here in the states. Please post more about your days there. I would love to learn first hand from you what it is like there day to day.
Much love and blessings,
Pat in Tenn

An Australian!! We used to live in Tumut, NSW, from 1972 - 1977. We loved Australia and swear we will return someday before we head to summer land!

I live near Tumut spinning Grandma. How amazing. I imagine it is a nice place to live. They have nice shops as well. We were there a few weeks ago.

NE Central sounds interesting too. I have also lived along King Parrot Creek.

The kids loved the creek there.

The cicadas are very blue! They are the real deal, not shells I think.
