Hey My Girlies,
Well, I see that some two little misses are behind in their blogging, time for a reminder... And can I just say, it's nice to be good girl for a change! :-) I'm usually the one behind!
Life here in old Oz is good, hot as all get out, but good. We just got home from a get-together with friends in our Hall, a farewell to a really sweet couple we've know since I arrived down under. You would both love them, especially her, she's Italian and reminds me so much of a combination of all my sweet sisters. I see a little of each of them in her and it's been really nice getting to know her. They're moving just outside of Perth so, still within visiting distance. :-) They're like us, the kid's are grown and on their own and they wanted a change, something new and different, a bit of a fresh start. I can totally understand that, sometimes you have to live outside your comfort zone and take a step into the unknown, but you know what I find so comforting... All roads lead to home. I think that you can be so busy looking for home in a new town with new people that you can forget it's those same familiar faces and sleepy streets that feed your soul and inspire you to greater things. We were watching this great movie last night called "Red Dog" it's a true Aussie story that takes place in a little mining town in Northern part of Western Australia, Dampier. It's based on a book by the same name by Louis de Bernières. Try to find it on Netflix if you can, it's really worth seeing, but it's what made me think about home, community, and that spirit of family and good friends that so hard to find in this old world.
You two should have been here a couple of weeks ago. I had my first experience on a big water slide. They have one at the Jetty and had left it on overnight so, on New Year's eve me and CC finished our work and spent the evening acting like two little kids! We had the best time! It's this massive indoor slide that's inclosed, like a big tube, and the water rushes really fast... I screamed every time! It was so much fun! I can't believe I haven't done that before, well one thing I can mark off of my bucket-list. :-)
We're in the middle of planning our trip home, went to see the travel agent last week and seeing what prices they can give us. CC thinks we should wait until the first of February, they're having a big travel expo in the City and you can always get some really good deals so, hopefully in the next few weeks we'll have our dates to come home locked in! I'm counting down the days!
Guess I'd better run for now, gotta go to work, but I'll write again soon. Hope this finds you both and all of family doing well. Love and miss you so much!
Hugs & Kisses,
TOWFL
