Biggest Summer-Smile

 
Mailman Ingo brought in happy mail!!!
From dear Kathy 🥰 

Just seeing the envelope made me smile big cause it reminded me of when I sat in a CAT - 
 
"The Perth Central Area Transit (Perth CAT) system, or simply CAT, consists of five bus routes in the centre of Perth and three bus routes in Joondalup."
 
(Wiki is not up to date, in Freo you find CATs, too, as in Cottesloe. Just bragging a bit.
 And a big P.S. from Ingo: The CAT is for free! I always forget to mention this...)

- when a big dragon-fly popped up behind my back! I am a jumpy person...

But let´s look inside, OK?
 

So cute!
I LOVE summer and flowers and I am so spoiled!


As I am that lucky to work from home usually Ingo empties the mailbox, hence I call him the mailman.
It´s a give and take, as I work from home I open the door for all the parcels Ingo orders.

This was not all:



This threw me back to 1995! Usually on our journey through Australia we slept in the car, but in  Bowling Green Bay NP we put up our tent!
 
 
Ingo sure had an eye on this mate!
There is a gas-lamp right beside!
 Our tent was intact but if it ever ripped I´d sewed in a heart, too - so cute!!! (scroll up maybe).
 
Kathy, thank you for these memories! 
 

 LOL, at first I thought that is toilet paper.
Another throw back to 1995! 
 

 It was too cold for a swim in Lake McKencie....

There were signs everywhere to not let things outside cause...


"The dingo is a medium-sized canine that possesses a lean, hardy body adapted for speed, agility, and stamina."

These guys - wild animals after all -  play with EVERYTHING and one young couple left toilet paper outside. 12 rolls or such... it was EVERYWHERE, too funny. They were so embarrassed I could not decide if to laugh or not. I laughed. I mean, really, there were enough signs!

On we go:


Ahhh, just yesterday I sat on the balcony cause it was warm enough for that  - in fact I took Ingo´s black chair and had to let it cool down first!

Dear Kathy, your mail brought summer - I thank you big, hugs to you and the lake!

.... scroll up to my mate, the Dingo 😁
