Return from Oz.







Sister Cheryl & Husband Ross.Yes we really were there.!!Son Mike & his family.
Well, it's all a memory already,& life has to get back to normal again. We enjoyed some wonderful trips out to see the sights of Sydney in the very competent hands of Ross & Cheryl.
Did all the tourist things, but had some great chatting time as well.
Enjoyed getting to know my Grandsons,who I hadn't seen for 9 years.Caught up with all the developments of boys who are eager to be the best that they can be.
Felt very special as Mike & his Wife Caron kept the children off school to get to know there Grandparents.
Really enjoyed the Adelaide Hills,with all the wineries & wonderful scenery.Can't believe my son is a bit of a wine fundy, after living in the area for the last few years.
Appreciated all the differences,but also felt that SA is now my home after 24years.Home is where the heart is, but also where the mortgage is paid off!!!
Had plenty of special moments,but my best was just being called Gran after all these years.
Sloppy, but true!!
We returned to grass that hadn't been cut for 3 weeks, a home that hadn't been cleaned,& 9 notes our security company had posted after various alarms!!
Still par for the course here in South Africa.
I am happy to have been watching our TV to witness the new President Elect of America.
Here's hoping that he keeps to his promises & maybe it will be a new dawn for the whole world.
There's a thunderstorm coming so I'll sign off for now. God Bless us all.xxxx
