Catching up at the Gold Coast......

Well, things are certainly happening now.  We've landed on the Gold Coast, our old stomping grounds.  We reluctantly dropped Tillie off to the Pet Motel.  I still have twinges of guilt, but I know it's for the best.  A year is a long time.  I just hope she's okay and still knows me when we get back. 

We have doctor appointments and VA appointments and catching up with the family to do.  And if you were ever going to stay somewhere, this is a great place.  You should see the view from our caravan.

First of all, congratulations are in order for Rob and Casey.  While on their cruise, Rob has proposed to Casey and she's accepted!  Both Chris and I are ecstatic.  Casey is a very lovely girl and we welcome her whole heartedly into the family.  Now I just have to keep Chris at bay so that he doesn't hound the poor girl for grandkids.

And while we were in Brisbane, we went to dinner with Liz and James.  They're both doing very well.  Getting used to the domestic life and the responsibilities of adulthood.  They found out that you have to keep tabs on the LP gas so you don't run out at the most inopportune time.  I believe they had cold showers for a few days.  Thankfully it's summer.

Also, Jenny and Camille made an impromptu visit from Ballina today.  Camille is growing by leaps and bounds.  Grandpa played with Camille in the sand and water.  We had lunch at McDonalds today as well.  We're so looking forward to seeing them again at Xmas.

We've also found that the fridge wasn't working, and then it WAS working.  So we weren't sure what the problem was.  But we found out what it was and it's now happily fixed and working.  We also have worked out how the hot water system works too as it wasn't heating up properly either.  Ah,...you learn something EVERYDAY  and LOOK!   We learned TWO THINGS in one day.  Okay, we're off now, to have a Vietnamese dinner.  Last night it was Mexican, tonight Vietnamese!  Oh yeah.
