Can't wait till Easter to catch up with everyone at St.Helens. Looking forward to some Karaoke at the Bayside and a Seafood Feast at the golf club on the Saturday night. Really can't wait till Easter gets here actually. I went to St.Helens on business the other day and stayed overnight in our cabin at the Big4 holiday park. Now, normally I only take a change of clothes with me to St.Helens for an overnight stay, we leave everything else we need down there, like toothbrushes, deodorant and some other basic necessities. But....... I had a special party to attend in Longford on my way home the next night and wanted to look my best. So, on this last trip to the east side, I took my good Hair straightener, my expensive hair spray which glues every single strand of hair in place, all my good make up, my favourite deodorant and my Kylie Minogue showtime perfume. AND I LEFT THE WHOLE LOT BEHIND IN ST.HELENS !!! 
Talk about a frumpy-fortnight coming up I know I packed everything to come home in a bag with my library book that I was half way thru (Stars over Shiralee by Sheryl McCorry) I was so looking forward to getting back into that book. Oh well, at least I won't have to remember to take a book with me at Easter (actually if anyone is looking for something to read at Easter, I do in fact have a pretty good library of my own at the caravan park!!) I think I've read each book half a dozen times already (insomniac much ) Anyway, I'm really looking forward to seeing all the girls at Easter, Lisa, Margie, Sarah, and I get to meet Meegan for the first time and lots of others. So excited. I will be leaving home on Good Friday to drive down there with my Krissie and her dog, Maxi. Peter is going on Thursday afternoon as he has half the day off work. I can't go until Friday as we have booked Krissie into Warrawee B&B because she can't bring the dog to the caravan park. We will stay there with her Friday night (get to use the spa)!!
Then on Saturday my other daughter, Angelina is coming down to St.Helens and she will stay at Warrawee with Krissie for two nights (till Monday)Peter will go home on Monday and take Krissie and Maxi as they have stuff on back home. As I don't have to work until the Wednesday I'll stay until then and leave early to get me back to work in Launceston by 10am. Won't matter if I'm late, they can't sack me, I resigned and this will be my LAST DAY!!!
The weekend after Easter I also have another 'reunion' to go to at St.Helens. I'll be catching up with some people I went to primary school with at Avoca Primary School in the 1960's. We all recently became reacquainted with each other on Facebook and this weekend after Easter we have all arranged to catch up on the east coast. None of us live on the east coast, in fact none of us live near Avoca anymore either, but St.Helens seems like a good place to meet up!!
John lives at Devonport, Danny lives at Deloraine, Veronica in Hobart, Mandy lives in Perth. Apart from John who lived with his Aunty in Avoca (she was our school teacher), the rest of us grew up on neighbouring farms up past Royal George. 
My familys farm was called Merrywood. Down the road was Red Rock, Veronica's family owned that, and Danny's family lived and worked there. Across the river from Red Rock is Lewis Hill and Mandy's family lived and worked there too. So its all been great to reconnect again after all this time. I'm sure there will be lots of reminiscing
