Stripped down and ready for paint.
As promised, now the project is well underway I’m going to keep you posted. This project entails turning some left over parts into a Warlock style guitar. I’ve selected most of the parts, everything has been fitted and wired together. Next I’ll strip it all back down and send the body and neck off to be painted. Stay tuned…hehe!
Today is my twentyfirst wedding aniversary. It’s Ironic that, like most males, I usually forgot it. One of the many things I wish I could go back and change, however…

Letter of acknowledgement from the Leukaemia Foundation for the donations made as memorial gifts by Scott Wilder from all my Nett Friends.
Sincerest thanks guys.
Hey….
Still not back to regularly posting yet, not because I’m not up to it, but because I never seem to be home nowadays.
I’m away most weekends now, and work has been great, they’ve loaded me up with as much as I can handle. This means being away from home at least two nights a week. And my friends here in Wagga are fantastic, not only do they look after daughter #2 when I’m away, but I have a standing invitation for dinner one night a week and a BBQ and darts on Saturdays if I’m home.
What I call my Blue days are fewer and farther between, and I can sometimes think about the last 25 years with Tania and not burst into tears ….. sometimes…. I do still get a bid sad when thinking about what she’ll miss, you know, grandkids, kids getting married etc.
I suppose I’m getting back to normal, or what will be normal from now on.
Haven’t blogged much of late. I’m starting to get back into the swing of things. Work’s keeping me busy during the day, invites for dinner pretty much keep me occupied in the evenings, and the nights are getting better.
I’m travelling more for work, and I go back to Young at least once a week. I had the young fella home last weekend. It must have been hard for him coming home for the first time. I’ve decided to let him come back gradually, every second weekend for a while, and I go to Young the alternates.
The other kids are dealing with things in their own way. The eldest Daughter is being scarce, I only see her maybe once a week, staying with friends a lot. She’s 20 next September so I’m hoping it’s only leaving the nest. The youngest daughter is throwing herself into her first boyfriend with great gusto. Not a bad kid. I also hope that is natural….although I do remember being besotted with a young lady once.
The eldest son, like most eighteen year old’s in Australia has discovered girls and grog. He’s come home drunk only a couple of times, so so far so good. As for the girls…..he’s not introduced me to ant yet, but is always calling and visiting them. So as long as they’re single I suppose that’s O.K. to.
All in all they appear to be coping well. It’s hard to tell with teenagers though, they have so much else going on in their lives and heads at that age.
I just hope they understand that I’m here and prepared to talk about anything.
A bit belated, but heartfelt none the less. Thank you all for your cards and well wishes throughout Tania’s illness and beyond. But most of all thank you for your friendship.
This was Tania’s favourite rose. It was given to us by one of her cousins. It doesn’t look much now, but the flowers are beautiful and they have a lovely perfume. Check back in Spring.
