Easy day, all our 'must do's' are done. I had about 6,000,000 little things to do. I seemed to be able to keep my nose to the grindstone in spite of many sidetracks and interruptions, like finding time to eat. I was successful in getting most of them done, and the ones I missed are unimportant, I hope.
Angela came around 11 and was soon settled in by Fellette and things were soon sorted by the two of them.
This afternoon we had a Surprise Party that his Robert's mother threw for him and Jeanette. Lots of friends of the Parke's of course and his siblings as well. Wally, Katrina and Craig came as well as did the grandkids, so it was quite a crowd, all in Marian's 48 year old house that she has lived in for 40 years.
It is amazing how the sizes of homes have grown in the past decades. The house was similar to what we all lived in for most of our lives until the modern Mega-House came into being, one bathroom and three bedrooms, a good old-fashioned simple family home.
On the way home we dropped into Trattle which is moving along nicely. Next time I see it it will have walls and a roof, nearing lockup.
Back home and we chatted with Angela who had settled in nicely, a few chores and to bed.
I do not know when I will be able to next post a blog, but I do know that it will be in Beijing. It is a 12 hour flight and 15 hours ahead in time zones, and a day ahead.
STAY TUNED!
