KATHERINE SHOW

 AND RODEO

 

2015

 

 

 

Well, we've just had our annual show/rodeo

here in Katherine, so it was a busy weekend.

 

This year the girls and I entered quite a few

sections and managed to come

 home with a few prizes!

 

We entered sewing, lego, woodwork,

cakes, preserves, art work,

photography (of course), and craft.

 

I scored two 1st's, two 2nd's, three 3rd's

Abbi- Two 1st's, three 2nd's, two 3rd's

Emilee - One 2nd

Maddy - Two 2nd's

Chloe - One 2nd

 

Dave was able to fill up on

his annual show food,

which, not surprisingly,

didn't taste any better than last year!

 

James braved a ride on the Hurricane

with the girls, Chloe and Maddy entered

the egg toss and the thong throw.

 

We had a great time at the rodeo,

sitting behind the rails so close that

we were frequently showered in dirt

and on one occasion, I got covered in

horse hair as it rushed passed.

 

There was also the excitement

of a bucking bronc running into the rails

just next to us and bending them in!

Thankfully, this was just after Emilee and

Maddy had climbed down

 from sitting on them!

 

Now that the excitement is over

it's back to school and life in general.

We have been experiencing some very

cold weather (for us, anyway) so

it's on with the Ug boots and jackets.

 

I have uploaded a short video

of some of the action.

 

Enjoy:)

 

 

 

 

 



Psalm 23

 

 

 

I recently found a piece of paper

in a very old Bible that I had

picked up at an op shop.

 

I don't know who wrote it,

but I thought it was so good

I wanted to type it up and post it!

 

The Lord is my Shepherd

That's Relationship!

I shall not want

That's Supply!

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures

That's Rest!

He leadeth me beside the still waters

That's Refreshment!

He restoreth my soul

That's Healing!

He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness

That's Guidance!

For His name sake

That's Purpose!

Yea, though I walk through the valley

of the shadow of death

That's Testing!

I will fear no evil

That's Protection!

For Thou art with me

That's Faithfulness!

Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me

That's Discipline!

Thou preparest a table before me in the

presence of mine enemies

That's Hope!

Thou annointest my head with oil

That's Consecration!

My cup runneth over

That's Abundance!

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me

all the days of my life

That's Blessing!

And I will dwell in the house of the Lord

That's Security!

Forever

That's Eternity!

 



TERRITORY DAY

 

2015

 

 

Well, we were able to celebrate our

3rd Territory Day here in Katherine,

and as usual, it was a BLAST!

Went off with a BANG!!

 

 

No, seriously, it was a lot of fun.

After prayer meeting,

we headed across the road armed with our

haul of fireworks, and started making

noise and smoke!

 

 

We managed to get some big bangers

this year and were quite excited

at how far up they went and the noise

they made!

 

Chloe and Maddy had made

their own homemade fireworks

with sparklers and I don't want

to know what else, but luckily

they didn't blow up in their faces

or anything dramatic like that.

 

It was a great night, dampened only

by the fact that Dave then had to go

back to work and head out to Numbulwar

for an overnight run:(

 

 

And one last thing........
