Hi Friends,
Welcome to the New Year 2006 the start of my 71st Year on this great Planet, and the commencement of our 12th Year at Fernhill Village Caboolture Queensland Australia. 
We settled in Fernhill Village in 1994 as it is a 10 minute walk from the Caboolture CBD, and a 15 minute walk from the Railstation and is close to all facilities.
It is less than 1hour from Brisbane City by fast train and is classified Urban Country.
It was a fortunate choice of location at which to enjoy our Retirement. 
Meg and I wish you all peace of mind and prosperity, with good health and happiness in 2006.
Glynn.

History

During 2005 we took a break from Webpages  and concentrated on keeping the "Joke Cycle" going with our epals. We think you will agree that it was good fun and worthwhile. Unfortunately we could not send every Joke to you as some were not suitable and we apologise if any slipped past the Censor and were offensive to anyone.

2005 - Was also the year of Computer malfunction and experimentation. It was necessary for us to purchase another Intel P4 Windows XP machine and to rebuild the old Dell P3. We decided to try downloading DVD Video Music and Movies on broadband with the new machine which was not difficult until we discovered that the download Code used DivX could not be played on DVD players sold in AUS.  We are still waiting for a suitably priced DivX DVD player.

2005 - An interesting year and made more enjoyable by our daily contact with our epals. Thank you all for the interest, humour and support.

Techno Info
 
I think it is appropriate to mention that these basic Webpages are not difficult to build using the Tripod website at http://www.tripod.lycos.com/
 
Should you wish to DIY I will be pleased to answer any questions to get you started.
Most builders use photo images from a digital camera saved directly to a Folder on the Computer and then upload them directly to the Webpage.
 
I use a different procedure with a Canon EOS reflex camera with Macro Lens and ISO 400 film; developed and printed in gloss using Photomax technology by Extra Film at Southport Queensland.
I then CanonScan LIDE 20 and if necessary crop and enhance the gloss print to achieve the best possible jpeg image at 75dpi with Photostudio 5.
I then save the Image to the My Pictures folder and upload them to the Webpage as required.
This procedure in my opinion produces a much better result than the Digital Camera image.
Please give it a try as the Tripod Site Builder is Free for home users.
Glynn.

You will notice that we have again featured the Tropical Flowers of Caboolture and South East Queensland together with the friendly fauna with their lovely songs and natural beauty who visit us every day.
We do this because there is always a display of beauty throughout the year in the Sub-Tropical Climate.

Quotes for 2006
 
Women complain about premenstrual syndrome, but I think of it as the only time of the month when I can be myself.
Roseanne Barr
 
And in the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter and the sharing of pleasures. For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed.
Kahlil Gibram

American values are not luxuries but necessities, not the salt in our bread, but the bread itself.
Our common vision of a free and just society is our greatest source of cohesion at home and strength abroad, greater than the bounty of our material blessings.
Jimmy Carter
 
A government that is big enough to give you all you want is big enough to take it all away.
Barry Goldwater

An airliner was having engine trouble and the pilot instructed the cabin crew to have the passengers take their seats and prepare for an emergency landing.
A few minutes later, the pilot asked the airhostess if everyone was buckled in and ready. "All ready back here Captain," came the reply, "except for one lawyer, who is passing out business cards."
 
 
The Lone Ranger and Tonto went camping in the desert and after they got their tent set up, they fell sound asleep.
Some hours later Tonto wakes the Lone Ranger and says, "Kemo Sabi, look towards sky, what you see?"
The Lone Ranger replies, "I see millions of stars."
"What that tell you?" asked Tonto.
The Lone Ranger ponders for a moment, then says, "Astronomically speaking, it tells me there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets. Astrologically, it tells me Saturn is in Leo. Timewise it appears to be approximately a quarter past three in the morning. Theologically, its evident the Lord is all-powerful and we are small and insignificant. Meteorologically, it seems we will have a beautiful day tomorrow. What's it tell you Tonto?"
Tonto is silent for a moment, then says, "Kemo Sabi you one big dumb ass. Someone has stolen our tent."

OUR COTTAGE GARDEN

A group of girlfriends went on a vacation and saw a five-story hotel with a sign that read, "For Women Only."
Since they were without their boyfriends, they decided to go in. The Bouncer, a very attractive guy, explains to them how it works. "We have 5 floors... go up floor by floor, and once you find what you are looking for you can stay there.
It's easy to decide, since each floor has signs telling you what's inside." So they start going up, and on the first floor the sign reads, "All the men here are horrible lovers, but they are sensitive and kind"... the friends laugh and, without hesitation, move on to the next floor.
The sign on the second floor reads, "All the men here are wonderful lovers, but they generally treat women badly." This wasn't going to do, so the friends move up to the third floor where the sign read "All the men here are great lovers and sensitive to the needs of women." This was good,  but there were still two more floors.
On the fourth floor, the sign was perfect: "All the men have perfect builds; are sensitive and attentive to women; are perfect lovers; they are also single, rich and straight." The women seemed pleased, but they decide that they would rather see what the fifth floor had to offer before they settled for the fourth.
When they reach the fifth floor, there is a sign that reads: "There are no men here. This floor was built only to prove that it is impossible to please a woman."
