So the first weekend of August the girls had their last
regular season game. They needed
to win this game in order to make it to playoffs and they were playing
Frankston. Walking in the girls
felt good about it and were pretty sure that they were going to win. And win they did. Here are a few photos of the star
Lindsay playing.
By the way if you haven’t heard, Lindsay is going on to play
for the Logan Thunder up in Brisbane for a season and then just signed a
contract to play with Hobart again.
She had an AMAZING season and is moving forward with her basketball
career. Very proud of her! Here we are after her game.
The boys played next and they also needed to win in order to
go into playoffs. They did end up
beating Frankston too but this wasn’t their last game and had to win the
following weekend and wait for other teams in the conference to play before
they found out if they made it or not.
Thankfully they did, but here are a few pictures Jordan before and after
the game.
This is Cherie, Lindsay and I. Cherie has been a wonderful person and has become another
mother to us.
The next day Lindsay and I decided to have a cousin day
because it had been awhile and we weren’t sure if we were going have another
chance before she left. We started
our day off in Salamanca to do some shopping for us and presents for those we
love at home. But after that got
down to business and went wine tasting in Richmond which is a few towns over
from Hobart.
We started at Puddleduck and were able to try about 7
different wines. We didn’t buy
anything but got to talking to the owner about where we were from and such and
he told us that he was restoring a car from the states. Anyone guess what it was??…..well if
you were on the same mind track as me it was a ’67 Mustang convertible. How he acquired it is a awesome story
but to keep it short he got it from a gentleman that kept it in his garage who
originally bought it from and American general. When I get home I will tell the story to anyone who asks but
it gets a bit complicated to write on here. Here are a few images of Puddleduck.
We went to Moorilla winery next that gave us about 15
tastings. We enjoyed those but
mainly enjoyed the men we were talking to. There were four of them from Melbourne and were having a
weekend down in Hobart. They
wanted us to come to Flamingos with them that night which is the gay bar that
is here in Hobart. We never made
it but I wish we did because one of them was meant to be my friend’s future
husband. But I think if it’s meant
to be it’s meant to be. Here are a
few pictures of their vines.
Since we didn’t have enough drinking yet we went to get a
pitcher of beer and then went to get dinner. Look at us!
After dinner we went back to our house and took a nap, just
because we were up early not because we spent an afternoon drinking. Ha! Now we did plan on going out that night but instead had a
girl’s night in with some of the basketball players and watched the Olympics
instead. It was a wonderful day
and I am glad that I got one last cousin day in!
