Reg and I had a beautiful early afternoon, meeting my facebook friend, Shelley and her two beautiful daughters at SPC Ardmona, Kidstown  at Mooroopna, not far from my summer retreat.

The girls were, as I said, beautiful and I got some wonderful photo opportunities while they were having lunch, playing in the equipment, waiting for them riding on the Kids Town train.

Sure, enough it was only a matter of time, before this darling young girl, was missing and the announcement went over the loudspeaker to keep a look out for a little girl in a pink and blue dress.  She was not lost, she knew exactly where she was all the time, right up the top of the slide...and it is some slide, more like a big hill.

By the time the girls and Shelley had completed the Kids Town train ride I was feeling ‘inspired’, said I had to get home to work...and work I have been doing.  Capturing the innocent, ‘butter would not melt in my mouth’, J, look of the sweet little, wandered away from her big sister and mum, to play on her own, (and scare the living daylights out of her, mum), little girl.

It was a lovely day, I was so lucky :-). Lol, Shelley’s two young adult friend made my day by saying they thought I was under 50, lol, and here I am topping mid 60’s. (got to love flattery, J ) . Reg and I didn’t have the tiring drive all the way to Shepparton with little children asking ‘are we there yet’ lol, J, nor tired children on the long return trip.  I hope Shelley can pop her feet up tonight and relax; she did a great job, as mum’s do, entertaining the girls, giving them a wonderful experience.

As you know, I love to turn my art works into cards, fridge magnets, sometimes postcards and prints.  This picture lends itself to a card, I am thinking Happy Birthday and a fridge magnet, see my magnets a  http://www.fridgemagnetart.com  and that’s where I would love my readers help.  I can only use short quotes as these are business card size magnets and I only have the background area suitable for writing.  As I said, I would LOVE your comments and if I use the quote you suggest to go with this picture, I will contact you for your address and send you one of the works and words, fridge magnets I make up.
