Mars was fun but civilization is better...for me! Back home from Coober Pedy for a week or so now. I'll likely go back up in another few weeks to help Mum and Con move back to Adelaide.

Just an update for those giving a stuff... *smiles*....

write soon ok?

I'm still in the Outback. It's been a week since I left civilization to help my in-laws and downshift. I admit I don't downshift very well. But it's been good and the people here are friendly ( Read more... )

First, may I say that I think technology is a wonderful thing. It should, however, never, ever be allowed to replace the human touch.

To those of you whom I love, please let me see your face...let me touch you...and please, receive me the same way.

Coober Pedy, South Australia...hmmm...what can you say? It's the opal capitol of the world. There is lots of mining here.

I'm staying with my in-laws for a little bit. They're selling their business and I'm helping *I think*...they're lovely people. I don't think I've eaten so much in my life.

Life is just full of surprises! The last few days have been a mish mash of happenings. It's been a roller coaster ride emotionally.

I'd only just gotten the news that one of my uncle's had passed away and then I get an email yesterday from my son whom I haven't really been allowed to speak to for about 10 months. He told me that he wanted to talk ( Read more... )

Everyone has one don't they? An uncle named Jim? Well I got the news today that my uncle Jim died. One of my dad's brothers. He was a quiet, sweet man. Fathered six children, served in the military, I never heard him complain about his lot in life. One of his children has Downs Syndrome and life has dealt him the difficult blows that it deals us ( Read more... )

It's Chewsday (Make Your Selection Day as I've come to call it *smiles*...in American English that would be Tuesday)

2:57PM

Got up around 6AM, packed husband's lunch, played a bit of Saints of Virtue - reminisced...a lot. I do that pretty much the majority of days, and for nearly the entire day. I visited some old web sites that I haven't looked at ( Read more... )
