I was SO JEALOUS!!! Hopefully they'll all get a chance to see some "real" Australians. It's probably just as well I didn't get to go with them as I do suspect I would have trouble talking Oprah into stopping at some of your amazing quilt shops. So I'll continue to get my "fix" on the internet and through blogs.suzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13432352442859238887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-222786315881803285.post-78323122553287714852010-09-17T20:36:18.210+10:002010-09-17T20:36:18.210+10:00So, have you put in for tickets in the Oprah lotte...So, have you put in for tickets in the Oprah lottery?

We have three mandarin trees and got stacks of<br />them to eat, hundreds I would guess! I have eaten so many I am starting to look like a mandarin. Alas next Winter we won't be here, and the buyer of our little hobby farm will reap the benefits of our citrus orchard! Tahitian limes, Meyer lemons, two grapefruit trees, one navel orange tree and the Kaffir lime tree for Thai cooking. <br /><br />Once we get down the coast again we will start the citrus off once more. (hopefully, this will be our last move) All our family lives Newcastle way and our two grandchildren are getting older. We want to spend more quality time with them all!!!<br /><br />Packing up my beautiful large craft room has been a nightmare. What to keep and what to store???<br /><br />MaryanneMARYNANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02922589156233400420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-222786315881803285.post-6973423230211907162010-09-15T15:26:18.478+10:002010-09-15T15:26:18.478+10:00Great 'orange'post.
