September 23 - "The Kids" Arrive!

Well, they aren't kids, but they are "our" kids, so that's what we call 'em! Aaron, our oldest, and Jolyn, our future daughter-in-law, arrived on Thursday, straight in from Portland, LAX, Sydney, and into Coffs Harbour. Pat scooped them up and within their first six hours here, they had seen roos in the park, caught Pippis in the sand, seen a 5 ft Carpet Python on the road, heard the Kookaburras going off, and watched a huge kangaroo bounce through the water at the Urunga boardwalk! Oh, and we had lasagna.

Just when they thought it was safe to go to bed at - what time is it anyway??, the doorbell rang, and the first of our many amazing friends here dropped in, wine bottles in hand, to say hello and welcome the Americans! Debbie and Graeme Rose, Caroline and Wayne, and their son Ben and sweet friend Mel came by and gave the "kids" a warm Aussie welcome!

It's so good to have them here!!
