Here are some snapshots from wider family connections

"Climb
Every Mountain," Steven Powell, or the Grampians at least, before Geoff sells them to
his latest casino as interior decorating.
Don't click me or I'll fall off the mountain. I'm warning you.

The Anderson family; Alan and Kate
of Antioch and Rosies fame,
and their boys pop in at Bribie.

A
Christening photo-Ben and Shontelle and Breanna and her "Yankee Poppy" in
Casino, NSW.

"Mischief?
It may have been my big brother
but it certainly wasn't me, Mum. Honest. Not with my smile."

Pat and I are always meeting
on or near bridges. Why is that? Hinchy's and bridges???
"Know anything about bridges, Tom?"

Whose
got Breanna Jayne Clark?
"Are you trying to tickle me
or tackle me, Dad?"
"Dad's
got me now.
Better not play up."

Guess
who inherited Alan's smile? And hairstyle? Looks like some mischief is brewing.
Yes-
I knew it.
"It's literally raining smiles on Bribie island. Watch out. Take cover, Dad, or
that waterfall will come through the wall."

Shontelle
receives a Blessing.
We all know why you need it.
Gramps,
get me a beer will ya"
"Ya home brew will be fine, but make it snappy."
And get Ole Yankee Poppie another Bundy and coke. He's still standing up."

The
great Aussie thinker gets stumped thinking thoughts that have occupied historians
since Heroditus and Plutarch.
"I wonder what in hell the Children's Bureau
has got to do with land management?
Can St. Kilda win a bloody game? Will somebody please buy my beetle? Do I have enough
Sultana Bran for breakfast?"

"God invented family
so that someone had to take us in.
He invented friends
so that someone would take us in
even when they didn't have to."
.....And he invented sages to deliver
ancient sayings like this
that he just made up
to finish a page.
