Barb's sister Donna (Madonna) came for a visit. The main reason for coming was to attend her daughter Kelli's graduation.
Hal was also able to attend.
A few days later we took Donna to Dan's restaurant in Greensborough for a memorable meal. By doing that, we were able to see a bit more of our chef son.
Then we made the trip to Gembrook to visit the Funks and for Donna to meet the new member Jethro.
We were able to spend quality time with them, doing anything from harvesting tomatoes to baking a roast. It was a memorable collection of days.
We stayed at the Hut over night for two nights to be close by. On the last morning, Donna and Peter went about with their cameras catching the spectacular.
The Hut offers a space away and to indulge in plenty of cups of tea.
And before we knew it, the day arrived for Donna to return to Tazzy. Now the days are just a string of memories. Thanks Don for sharing a fabulous time.

We have nine basic spiritual needs: 1. a viable philosophy of life; 2. constructive lifestyle guidance; 3. our relationship with an energising God; 4. our soul as the centre of our being; 5. hope in the midst of our losses; 6. reconciliation replacing guilt; 7. our being valued by God; 8. our moments of transcendence; 9. our belonging to a caring community.
And according to the Bible, there are nine spiritual gifts: Love, joy, peace, patience, goodness, kindness, faithfulness, humility and self-control.
Another list of nine
These are drawn from Romans 12:10-13
1. With brothherly/sisterly love, be devoted
2. With honour, raise another above yourself
3. With zeal, never be lacking
4. With your spirit, be fervent
5. With the Lord, be doers and not just hearers
6. With hope, be joyful
7. With affliction, be patient
8. With prayer, continue at it
9. With the needy, share and be hospitable
These nine practical steps for Christian life grow out of sincere love, doing what is good (verse 9).

Some people come and go. Others stay and leave footprints on our hearts and we are never the same.
