My First Blog!

WOW!!  This is a little overwhelming now I have taken the plunge.  Never mind....nothing ventured, nothing gained they say.

I am very impressed with the quality of "bloggers" out there.  I mean "quality" in the literary sense as well as the charitable sense.  Everyone seems so eager to help eachother.  It is wonderful.  You have taught me so much even during my naive beginnings.  No doubt I will continue to learn from you all as time goes by too. I will of course mention your blogs as I go along as a matter of courtesy.  I know there will be plenty of readers out there who will love to hear what you have to say too.

Firstly, let me intoduce myslef. My name is Jennifer and I live with my husband on a beautful property just outside Coffs Harbour, New south Wales, Australia.  We have a 2 bedroom unit which we let out for holidays....overnight, daily, weekly and extended stays.  Having a beautiful dog of our  own (our other beloved dog paased away in January) we offer our accommodation as "pet friendly".  Many a four legged family member has stayed with us for their holiday.  Why send them to boarding school when you can bring them on holiday with you is our motto.

We have met so many wonderful people from all over the world and all walks of life.  Our latest guests were a lovely couple and their delightful daughter from Canada. What a great 2 weeks we had enjoying their company.  A year or so ago we had a couple form the Netherlands arrive on bike for the night....yes.....a push bike.  They were on a bike tour of Australia and decided to spend a night in a bed instead of a sleeping bag in a tent.  Well, they loved it here so much they stayed and extra night.  All the English visitors (and there have been quite a few over the years) really enjoy our beautiful rural setting with the wallabies grazing close by.  Quite an enjoyable morning having a leisurely breakfast as you watch the wallabies and birdlife not 10 feet from you!!

Let me leave it there for the time being.  I'll be back with more tomorrow.  Hopefully as time goes on I will get better and better at this "blogging" business.  I know I have so much I would like to share with everyone!

Have a great day and remember to keep looking for the sliver lining when things don't seem to be going the way you had thought they would or should.
