this ones for you agapanthas

when i started this blog over a year ago i gave it a name that had personal significance to me. i am the youngest of five, three older sisters and one older brother. my sister Anita was working in a nursing home on the top of the range in our home town of toowoomba. life circumstances saw me living with Anita for most of my senior years at high school and into my uni days. if i wanted to drive her car around i would have to go to her work to get the keys after school while she did night shift. whenever i went to this, to me, dark cold smelly nursing home (smelly like really old people smell)i would talk with the more coherent residents. one in particular would call me goldsworthy and Anita agapanthas. those names have sort of stuck for us and when i say them it brings back many wonderful memories of my teenage years.

anyhow my sister anita/agapanthas has been living overseas for many years now, she has been back and forth for almost 7 years i guess, and she has given my girls nick names.

she calls lili care bear, mia pussicatti and claudia cherry liqueur. i have forgotten why she calls mia and claudia those names but lili actually looks a bit like a care bear she owns.

anyhow little miss claudia has skipped a size in clothing.. she went from size 2 straight to size 4!! when i dug out some hand me downs look at what i found... she looks so sweet in it and it is a perfect fit.

it is a matching set :o) there's even a cherry on the back ok here she is being cute. here she is performing her favourite pastime, (hey clare.. how bout a quote that says if friends were boogas i would pick you? how do you think that would sell?? :o) and this is her usual up to no good look!! not sure where this great set came from, either my gorgeous sister narelle handed it down to me or some friends at school passed it on, whereever it came from we love it.

i miss you agapanthas and hope you are home in time for your birthday next year.

mmwwwaaahhh goldsworthy
