Hello everybody, and great Mom connected into the "blog world".
As Cyndy and Charley said, the "glog" geriatric blogging.
We may be out of internet for a while as we travel to the next stop- South West Rocks, then on to Coolongatta for the week.

It's great that Amber is so young and technologically adept. It's good to keep up with your travails...I mean travels.

Long black for me, please.

Great new coffeepot, BTW, Curtis. It's sort of ruining my coffee shop experiences, as everything at Starbucks and Arsagas now tastes a bit too much like burnt dirt in water. At least Dr. Pepper is still delicious.
