Slapped Cheek in our schools

Apparently there are a lot of sick kids around but you'd hardly know it until you see a rash and by then it's too late.  5th Disease, or Slapped Cheek as it is otherwise known, is running rampant through some Seattle schools.  There are aches and pains in joints, sore throats, tummy aches, a low grade on and off fever, and lastly the red cheeks (rash).  If you think your kid is just trying to get out of going to school and doesn't appear to be sick, then check further because it might be 5 th Disease.  Adults can get it too!

Good Things

There's nothing like seeing a little girl dressed as a Princess to make you feel good about life.  Sunshine, tiara's, pink dresses, fairy wands and the shoes, oh the shoes...  

A long time ago there was a big rock... It's still there. Anyone seen it lately? I've entered a photography competition called "Name Your Dream Assignment" - my idea is "Outback to Ocean - The beauty and distress of Australia". It would be a photographic journey from the opal mines meandering past sheep farms through Port Lincoln back to the Barossa and then Adelaide. If you love this idea then log in and vote for my "Outback to Ocean" idea.
