As ya know, my son is home from Australia....YEA!!! It's been 6 months since I've seen him and even longer since I've seen his wonderful Aussie bride but she'll be here soon too...double YEA!!! She picked me out this perfect coffee cup and sent it over with my son for me!! I also got an cool picture frame that displays pictures from a camera card disk but they have "wonky" plugs there so I need to get a compatible plug for it today to see what she put on it for me! Can't wait to see! Then they gave me some really fantastic soaps, shower gel, bath scrub, and bath jelly from a company named Lush in Canterbury, NSW, Australia and wow are their products great!!!! I could just smell that soap forever-yum! (she's gonna HAVE to bring more when she comes over!!), I thought me and my daughter might have to duke it out thought over the coffee mug-just cuz I'm older doesn't mean I can't still whoop her! :) What did they bring over for my daughter that SHE requested???? (WARNING...May not be suitable for young viewers)....
Yes folks, it IS what you think...guess Kangaroo's have to get snipped too! Thankfully I got the cup!!! :)! My son knows how much of a sentimental mush Ma I am and also found this hand-crack turned music box that plays "You are my Sunshine" (that's our song). Awwww...my kiddos know me so well :)

| Max needs a Bowl That Says Keep Calm and Give Me A Peanut Butter Treat For Dessert...or Else!!! He's pretty ferocious looking when he wants a treat! :) Have a beautiful today!!! |
Hi my furiend! This is Cody and Dakota! You have to seriously be one of the KINDEST people we know! THANK YOU THANK YOU!!
ReplyDeleteYour daughter-in-law is BLESSED to have you! Your mug is adorable!
Aw, you're too sweet...gotta help out our friends!! I'll tell ya as a Mom I think that is one of the more scary things is what if your kids marry someone you don't like or who doesn't like you?! Glad he picked her - she's wonderful!!! Her family has been sooo great to my son while he was there too!!
DeleteI feel sorry for Mr. Kangaroo .. now he is only Mr. Kanga, without the "roo" and I know why they say "hoo ROO" in down under for good bye :o)
ReplyDeleteWe like Lush very much, specially the dream cream :o) have a wonderful sunday ...
Ha! That Lush is good stuff! Will have to ask her to bring me some dream cream too! You have a great Sunday too!
DeleteHa! Poor Kangaroo!
ReplyDeleteWe have Lush cosmetics in Canada, too. They're big on no animal testing, which is always great to see.
Yes, I love that they are opposed to animal testing too and wow does all of it smell and feel great too!
DeleteWe love Lush! It's all over Canada, so it's weird that you don't have it in the States.
ReplyDeleteDid you get any Veggemite or Tim Tams? :)
If the daughter in law hasn't come yet, ask for Tim Tams. It's like the Australian version of Oreos and they're friggin' delicious.
And Max doesn't look pleased that he was forgotten when the son was shopping for souvenirs.
Urrr...I asked my son specifically for the Tim Tams as last time she brought both and I LOVE the Tim Tams but he "claims" to have forgotten (bet he ate them!). I think I was the only one in the family who was ok with the Veggemite...like that salty taste. Oh, but no comparision to Oreo's...Tim Tams win hands down! But OMD they have these Musk sticks...I still tease her about that one....yuck! The whole family agreed that is yucky!!! I was to really WATCH her eat one when she gets here cuz it was soooo gross to me I want her to prove to me she'll REALLY eat one! ha! Yep, my son was in the Max Doghouse til he broke out the Peanut Butter treats! :)
DeletePerfect cup! Such a thoughtful son! I bet you are so glad to see him! Max...maybe momma will whip you up some yummy peanut butter treats...? :-)
ReplyDeleteThoughtful son was the crank music box...I know in my heart, thoughtful daughter-in-law was everything else ha ha! Oh, nooo...Max wants to LIVE...best Ma doesn't cook for Max :) :) Yes, soooo happy to have my son here!!!
DeletePoor Kangaroo! Kinda boggles the mind why someone would want to haul them around, though. The cup is adorable, as are you Max!
ReplyDeleteWell, guess there are plenty of freaks (ha!Love you BGG-it's ok, she's knows she's a freak-azoid!:)) like my daughter who keep them in business. She heard that they sold them and HAD to have one to freak people out with. Yep, I'll take the Cup or my tea towel that says Australia any day :) :) Gotta get the Tim Tams next!
DeleteFreak flag is flying for sure! :) I went to the store the other day and put my keys down to pull out my card and the lady about my age looked at them and then looked at me and I said yes those are what they look like except THEY ARE KANGAROO!! She says I mean Ive heard of a rabbits foot but uhhh never that and points. bahahahahaha I walked away laughing. I also hang my keys up on my wall by my desk and it keeps the drivers in line too. ; )
DeleteBTW dont get too attached to that coffee mug.......
Wow! Pretty cool stuff you got. Max looks kind of like my new friend that I met while I was out on my trails a couple days ago.
ReplyDeleteWhen Max is with bigger pups he thinks he's big too! Happy to see ya here - thanks!
DeleteWhat cool stuff you got, enjoy. We have a Lush in nyc and there stuff is so nice, I never new it was an Australian company
ReplyDeleteurban hounds
I'm gonna have to see if it's in Houston anywhere :)
DeleteLove the cup, not sure about the other 'novelty' item, lol!
ReplyDeleteLynne x
Yep, think I'll pass on the other one too :)
Deletewhat awonderful wordhop you got going on Max! The kangaroo foot is ......different!! haha, im sure I'd want one to if I was a kid, now Im a sentimnetal sap like you so would probably react the same way. Those coffee mugs though are great! Hope you get to have some quality fun with your son and wife!
ReplyDeleteYes, I know my son already misses his wife already so we are both anxiously waiting to have her here too!
ReplyDeleteA bonanza of goodies!
ReplyDeleteSlobbers
Now I need the famed vinegar and salt chips his wife talks about :)
DeleteNice goodies you got. I adore Lush products. I have the clove foot rub, I have the best smelling feet!!!
ReplyDeleteHave a great visit! I bet Max would like that Kangaroo "cup"!
