In from the cold

...in more ways than one. Have at last found my password to get into Google. Too many address books in this house and too many places to hide passwords in LOL

Jill, we have almost the exact photo up on our wall of Multinomah Falls (sp)!!! Mary from OR took us there when we visited in 04. It was quietly drizzling that day if I remember correctly but we still enjoyed the day and especially the surroundings!

Bee - you got in too! Love the baby photo thanks - will email you soon!

Marion - DD and family will certainly have something to laugh about in years to come about those 'lost' passports!! What a frantic time that would have been, poor things. Are they all settled over in HK now? LOVED your quilt!

Spring has arrived here quietly and unobtrusively. We've already had one warm, windy day, which is the best sign in this area (the wind, that is). Wattle has bloomed already and is fading. Now it's the almond blossoms' turn. You can smell it on the wind.

I am up to my eyeballs in the School magazine, as always this time of year. I worked on it until 2.30 am Sunday morning - good thing I enjoy doing it! Came home from school today and crashed on the couch after tea (DH was in bed as it's night shift). Woke up at 10.45, late for getting him out of bed!! That will teach me for going overboard LOL

I'm hoping to go 3 days p.w. at school next year, winding down into retirement.

DS#3, who spent 10 months in Canada in 06/07, is now engaged to his American sweetheart whom he met while they were both studying in Toronto! She will fly into Australia in late January, hopefully, and they are booked to get married in mid July. He's busy looking for jobs to take up once he finishes his degree in November. Also working til all hours on a final year project to do with wave power - this has been his busiest year in the whole 6 at university. We are going down in a couple of weeks to their project presentation - have to sign a piece of paper saying we won't let out any secrets, before we're allowed in LOL

Well, I need to spend an hour or so doing what I should have done this evening before I fell asleep. Glad to be back!

Hi to all!
