Old Le Fevre Students at Maryborough (inland from Hervey Bay)

An invitation for dinner was quickly taken up when Shae Kennewell and her twin sister Kodie Axelson (nee Kennewell) asked us to join them. Kodie and her husband Mark live in Maryborough and have a 15 week old daughter, Lily (who is just gorgeous). Shae lives in Maryborough too and her partner Shaun joined us as well.

We had a very relaxing night and lots of stories and memories were shared as well as new ones made. Matt and Shaun were very patient and let the conversation revolve around Le Fevre teachers and students. It's a bit easier listening to some of this, now that we're no longer teaching and the girls were tactful most of the time. These girls are very funny and always smiling.

Lily is surrounded by love. Her dad dotes on her, her mum loves her and her aunty adores her. She's a very lucky baby.

Matt's not a bad cook - my steak was done to perfection. The chocolate dipped strawberries were very nice and the salad was excellent! (I made the salad - couldn't burn it so it was OK)

Shae with Lily

Lily has a wild bedroom with palm trees (painted by Kodie) on the wall and a great swinging square box-hammock that is suspended from the ceiling.

Matt and Kodie are clearly animal lovers - they have a python in a vivarium, Pineapple the parrot that walks around the house (I even let it climb onto my shoulder - a biggie for me because I'm not partial to flapping, flying birds) and tropical fish in a huge aquarium.

Next time we come this way, we'll be back!
