Well it is 8.45pm and the sun hasn't set yet and it is a perfectly beautiful evening. We have just returned from visiting friends Tom and Joan Hampton along with Joan's Mum, Lillian who is 99yrs old. Her mobility is not the best, especially as the nerves in her leg have been damaged by a bout of shingles. Note to self - make sure to get script for vaccine when we get home. However, her brain is pretty sharp so that is good and her eyesight is fine too - no glasses. Tom and Joan picked us up at the hotel at 11am and took us to their home for lunch and then they went and brought Lillian over from her respite place which happens to be only 100mts from their house. The afternoon was spent chatting and then we went to the local hotel, The Black Bear for dinner and that was only 200mts away. After, we walked back to respite (Lillian in her wheelchair) so Joan could settle Lillian and then they drove us back to our hotel. All in all it was a really lovely day catching up after 11years. Tom and Joan had made the effort to drive back from their Green Lake house (5 1/2hour drive) to meet up and I guess to see how Lillian was coping in the facility.
Well it is to bed now and think about the packing to be done tomorrow (for the last time) which will be good. We will go to airport about 2.00pm and our flight from Vancouver to Los Angeles departs at 5.45 and will be about 3 hours . We then have 3 hours in LA to get to the international terminal then another 15 odd hours before home so no doubt we will be very tired and not looking forward to it.
Hi guys. We haven't had a chance to fully read your blog updates but I will sit down tonight and have a good look through it. I notice that you will be departing for home soon. Safe travels. Not much to report hear. We had Renae & Johns Hens and Bucks parties on the weekend and will be heading off up to Gnaraloo (just north of Carnarvon) on 15th June for a week. Give us a call when you get back. Love Geoff, Tam & Kids
