Barkley Blah!

The first time I started a blog, it was because I had something to say, hence the turningsixty blog was born. Then I started the MyBookBlog, an ongoing project to help me write 'The Book'.
Now, this one looks like being a "Sometimes Journal", definitely a reflection of the current pace of my life.

great success story

Late last year I posted about my daughter Carlena, her partner Sharda and two of their friends who had taken the plunge and opened a new concept 'wine bar' at a beautiful beach suburb location in Adelaide.

I was a bit concerned at the time, wondering if starting a new venture in the current economic climate was such a good idea. But she almost put my mind at rest with her conviction that it would be the right thing to do, the price was right and between them the 'girls' had all the skills needed to make a success.

Carlena and her partner Sharda are chefs with long-term high level experience, and the other two combine fine wine expertise and bar service with administration and financial management skills. A sure-fire combination, all they needed were the customers.

My only concern now is that they are so busy I hardly ever see her, with her in Adelaide and me on the Gold Coast.. but of course I am very happy for them.

The pictures are screen dumps; one is a page from a google search, the other is their yellow pages entry, which shows off the premises really well.

time flies - and Angel is going to school..

It's hard to believe our 'baby' (who, by the way, HATES being called a baby, she tells me "I'm a BIG girl now nana!") turns five years old this year and starts at pre-school later this month.

Here she is, graduating from child-care.. love the face.. and the thongs..
