This week was hard for me, just seeing what has happened to those in the Queensland floods, I have had many friends and family affected by it. I have been trying to do my bit in helping our little town where I can, mainly helping my sister get back on her feet, plus a couple of girls from her work lost EVERYTHING! I can not imagine having to throw all my stuff out...my heart goes out to everyone. Its also been 1 year since I lost my Grandad, so I have been thinking about that too.
Just a few photos, obviously not taken by me of the flooding that occurred in our town of Emerald.
80% of the town affected by the floods.
One of the newer areas in town.
Spillway at the Fairbairn Dam - just over 5 meters over the spillway.
The main bridge (Vince Lester Bridge) into town, just before it went completely under. Peaked at 16.2meters. No guard rails visible.
But in all that can I just give out a little.....
TOOT TOOT for me!!!!
Check this announcement over at the
Get Picky challenge blog! I am so excited to have won and to be chosen as Guest Designer for Inspiration Challenge #4!! Stay tuned....
Just leaving you with just a couple of cute photos I got of the boys while on holidays! Just realised I hadn't shared any.
The boys went down this waterslide all afternoon, every day! They had so much fun!
One of the pools....it had nice sand at the waters edge for the boys to play in.
Have a great weekend!
