Interchanged with grapes maybe.

I guess there is not enough of us here this year to try and do a Melbourne Cup Sweep.

I have always got a giggle when we have tried in the past to cut and paste our names...........and get it all mucked up.

It always reminds me of the silliness of the hacking accusations!!!

I am trying to do some family research.................but I am not getting anywhere.

I entered a contest today on twitter where you can win two direct lines researched back to 1500's-1700's.

The strange thing is though.......their site says they only do Australian searches......

That is no good to me...............I already know the Australian side of things...................I was hoping if I was lucky enough to win to get some Irish brick walls knocked down.

Good morning Stringsters

Enjoy your holiday today Deb. We have been to the Cup several times (I kept my little cup badges as mementos). I always made my outfits, including the hats. We would go for the week and that included the Saturday races, then Tuesday Cup day and then Ladies Day on the Thursday. It was all great fun. Of course, the best part was strolling through the crowds. Everyone always seemed so happy.

Off to work for me. Have a great day everyone

*charming*

We are going to go out for luch today for the Melbourne Cup...................shame we are going to miss the race though.......................school pick up time...................that's life.
