Dec is tomorrow

Hi Gang!
Dec 2010 will happen in about 2 hours from now. How can that be? Where has the time gone? I have been busier than you can imagine. I must be having fun. I am still trying to find the perfect sunset on the perfect beach. I need all the vitamin D I can get. There I go demanding beach again.

I co hosted a Can-Aussie feast last Sat night to say thank you to some of the folks who have fed and entertained me during my stay. It was a sit down dinner and I think a good time was had by all. I will miss my Aussie mates. They are a fabulous group of people.(almost as nice as maritimers but with a funnier accent) It has been an AMAZING year. I would like to thank all of you for your support and encouragement and friendship. You nourish me. I am looking forward to seeing you all again-soon. As you get ready for the bustle of the holiday season be sure to take care of your selves.
G'Day-eh!

November News

Hi gang,

I am alive and well and living in Australia. Things have got a bit hectic lately as I discovered I am running out of time. I have also discovered I can not post pics from that brick building any longer-not sure why. The pics are still cloging my computer and I am hoping to find a teenager to help me out really soon to get them off. I will have to see what I can do with them later. So sorry. Those of you who really want to see them will just have to come over to my place on January 26-or there abouts to help me celebrate Australia Day. I may not be able to put anything on the barbie-they actually eat prawns here not shrimp but I may be able to whip up a pavlova or find some Tim Tams. I may not be able to find red bubbles but I am certain there is a shiraz or two waiting for me at the LCBO. I have started the dreaded REPORT CARDS. They are the same on any continent. I am trying to jam in as much as I can before this adventure is over. Next weekend is the Christmas Pageant (BIG parade) and I am having dinner at Parliment house later in the week with the MP for this region. The time is flying by and I am having HEAPS of fun. I sure am going to miss my little possums and all the fab mates. I feel crook just thinking about it. Hope you are all well!
G'day eh!
