Winning Streak

I had a great lot of luck over the Australia Day long weekend. At the NSW HOG Rally held in Jindabyne (NSW Snowy Mountains), my bike was voted as the "Best Sporty", I got a trophy, cleaning products, American Beer hat and t-shirt and a sash.


We rode home on Sunday morning leaving The Station Resort at 7.45am, we arrived home at 1.10pm, it was a great day for a ride. We were very tired from a full long weekend of fun. We normally go to the local Golf club (the golfie) which is only 300 metres from home, for the meat raffles on Thursday and Sunday nights. I was really tired and wasn't going to go, in the end DH, #1 son's father-in-law and I went to the meat market, they also have the members badge draw after the meat market raffle, the first number drawn didn't belong to a member, so the next number out was, Yes you guessed it....it was my member number, yahoo, and what a noise I made, I was so excited, so I pocketed $2,550. I am thinking of buying a laptop and getting wireless broadband put on, I will see how I feel about that idea in a few days.

On Tuesday I got my knitting back that I had entered in the Kiama Show, the acrylic blanket didn't win, but the Vest I knitted for my Dad Won First Prize with prize money of a whole $4. I was told by a Knitters Guild member that I got 99/100 for sewing up, I was so pleased as that was the first time I had seamed anything in Mattress stitch, and it was so much easier and nicer than back stitch.




So I am pretty well on cloud 9, happy with the last few days events.
