Fa La La La La!
Hello there… did you survive Christmas unscathed? The Granite Glen gang came through pretty well. Completely sated really. Food-wise, present-wise, loved-ones-wise. We had a relatively low-key and quiet Christmas Day (which was kinda nice) and a rowdy Boxing Day with…
Granite Glen Greeting…
Wishing you and yours peace and joy. Failing that, happy noise, much laughter and full bellies. It’s already Christmas Day here. Santa’s not-so-little helper has been very busy wrapping and labelling… and she need some shut-eye! Before the overwhelming excitement…
Pre-Christmas rollercoaster
This’ll be quick – life is chaotic and crazy and Christmassy here (or as my friend Jayne would say: Chris-Messy). … The emotional rollercoaster ride of the Granite Glen express has been full on – Jeanie finally presented us with…

Messin’ with Mirages
I hate to harp on in my weekly (kinda, sorta) weather reports here at the Bush Babe blog… but have I mentioned its a bit hot? Uncomfortably, sweatily, ruddy-faced hot. Make-up sliding right off your face and onto the floor…
Vignette #2: A Real Good Mother

Vignette #1: Are You My Mother?
