Winners all

Hi All
"The further you are from your last win the closer you are to your next".
Nana took five tickets in the Jesuit raffle each year putting them in the name of her five children. I have followed this procedure in the years since Nana died. I've previously not said anything because of the unlikeliehood of winning. Also because of the unlikeliehood of winning and the continued warning of "fake " phonecalls I have decided to let you know what I have done in case you get a phone call and "blow it".
When I told the Lady Kate what I had done she was quite excited about it and suggested that I let you all know.
Nana has been entering this raffle for at least the 20 years that I have been her "power of attorney" and probably 30 years before that so we are getting closer to our next win (I wish). The raffle, a car, is drawn on May 6th. Don't hold your breath! but ..Don't disregard that phonecall!
Happy Birthday Marty for the 24th. That completes the Australian cycle, we wait six months for the o'seas component to catch up.
Marty, have you got the problem with your Blog fixed so we can get more of your stories and photos? Make sure it's fixed before September when we hope to get a full account of the girls visit, with photos.
Steve's photos of Cunjurong stir the emotions. Joan and I with Uncle John and Moira, Aunty Kate and Friz will be there the week end before Easter. I might even take some photos. Annie and Steve had great weather for their Canberra week-end there. I hope Steve left some yabbies for us.
More next time. There's no photos this time.
Love to All Dad/Tjilpi/ Old Man/Kev.
