Vote 1 Log Lodgers

Celebrating election day in Pakenham with a typical Log Lodgers Gathering - finalising the policies before a big day of campagning.

PAKY BIRTHDAY MEL!!!

A fashionably late Paky Birthday goes to our very own Melissa Poynton!

A photo true to the theme of Mel's party - "Something you'd find in the Garden".

Dogga & Benny - All strung out in costume as a clothes line. Funny, yet practical.

Mia sports an Aussie favourite with her Hills Hoist Hat.

Tracey the Tarantula trapped in her doiley.

FOR NATE'S EYES ONLY

"I only have eyes for you" - xxx Faith

Mel

A little freaky...

Mel's growing up, dressing up and also learning to drive. This photo was taken just before her Yr 10 formal. So pretty!

Cup Day Picnic

Fashion on the playground as these three prove they are too cool for school.

A typical shot of Dogga getting into the cup day spirit,
horsing around in the playground and getting himself in quite an entertaining pickle.

Emma, getting into the swing of the spring carnival.

Oh...thats cute!

"Peek-a-boo I'll find you" Danielle finds her inner child as she and Emma "Race" around the playground.

If you imagined this photo with a racecourse to our left and a few lovely rose gardens here and there it would probably look more like Cup Day. Oh, and horses. Aren't there supposed to be horses?? Cup Day without a horse or a TV was a first for me, but I must say I was pleasantly surprised. Turns out all you need is good company and a picnic blanket and you can still get the full 'public holiday' experience.

Singles Unite in Style!

Dessert: Chocolate Mud Cake topped with a warm Chocolate Ganache, fresh raspberries and double cream.

Main Course: Fillet Mignon on a bed of Sweet Potato Gratin served with green beans finished with a Red Wine Jus.

Entree: Smoked Salmon, Crispy Bagel and Avacado Salad

A genious (well, her torso) at work. Behind the scenes of a dinner party that will go down in Singles history.

I think Don and Daile enjoyed being the honorary guests for the evening, they were even kind enough to share a few tips (to Jon mainly) about "what not to do" when dating. Unfortunatly they were not as forth coming with instruction of how to get a date in the first place.

Big smiles despite having the 'Singles Unite' compilation disc playing "All By Myself" every 3rd song.

Sharon's magic.

The happy singles. All dressed up and finally some place to go.... Sharon's!!! And what a night it was indeed. Indescribably good food and company too. The single's formal dinner turned out to be a definite winner. Standing together, alone, in singledom.
