I promised a good friend that I would visit her this year while we were up this way, time was getting away from us and I was so close that I decided I would head over for the weekend with the smalls {in the end J came with us too}. Sadly I thought that it might not happen as something broke in the car on the Monday & given we are really in the middle of nowhere I didn't think we had a chance of it being fixed in time.
Well the part arrived late Wednesday afternoon and by midday on Thursday the car was finished. We quickly loaded the car and headed off on our trip up and over to Karratha. It was a relatively quick drive and there is certainly so road works happening between Cheela & our final destination, yet again the GPS let us up the garden path {or rather the path to the airport}.
Thursday night saw me sitting up till all but midnight chatting with C over a few drinks. Friday everyone was up early and her husband came back from his night shift. We had a lazy start to the day, then took the smalls down to the local skate park for the morning. J and B headed out to get the hardware supplies we needed to finish the work at Cheela, while C & I hung out at home chatting.
Friday was also C's birthday and it was lovely to be able to have a celebration with her over dinner with some more of her friends. It really was a wonderful night, full of food, laughs and the most amazing cake {a combined effort}.
Saturday saw some sore heads and a ride in the fire stations old Bedford. The afternoon was shopping for a few items, including some more tops for the smalls as the ones they currently live in are a lovely shade or red, permanently.
Sunday was a big cook up and I headed out to the food shopping {excitement plus} ALONE. A quick snack for the kids as B rushed out the door to a fire call and we packed up to head back to Cheela.
The weekend flew bye but as corny as it sounds the memories of it shall last. It truly was a weekend that I wish could be replicated often.
